i'm not exactly too small-town either. i read the broadway columns. you get to know what new york boy is that way about what hollywood actress on the west coast and what starlet is currently the prettiest and who eventually, will play joan of arc. it gives you that worldly feeling.

c. allegory
d. metaphor

one time i was sleeping on a bench outside of walgreens and someone offered me money because they thought i was homeless

explanation:

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
