This essay is about a girl named Egan who talks about her friendship with a friend named Lucy in the beginning of the text. But after actually reading the whole passage we find out that it was not a actual friendship they had it was just a experience told by Egan which looked so real. Egan was doing a research near the navy yard in Brooklyn where she found out about Lucy. Lucy used to work at the same place for almost 2 years. Egan somehow got interested in knowing more about Lucy where she decides to read her to do lists, letter etc. Lucy had an affair Alfred where both of them loved each other. Unfortunately they could not see each other because they both worked at different locations. Brooklyn Historical society actually had copies of the letter which were exchanged between the two lovers. Egan got so into knowing about Lucy that she chose learning about Lucy over her research. Even though she did not get a chance to meet Lucy she felt like she was with her in the 1944. She also tried to find Lucy’s relatives so that she gets to know her better. In conclusion, this shows how someone can get attracted or attached to a person just by reading some true words which comes directly from the heart.
