The Story City limits written by Colson Whitehead is about a guy that observes The city of New York, he explains the amazing city that he saw and that makes other city seem very weak next to New York City. He says: “The city also puts a lot of effort into making your hometown look really drab and tiny” some people may read and think like he’s talking about New York city really cocky and thinking every other city is bad. he also spoke about the first experience to go through when you visit New York city for the first time, he explains that “that’s the first brick in your city” meaning that when you visit New York, many have their first memory as a busy city and everyone walking fast and moving at the speed of light. Others may experience their first memory in New York by the View that they might see. These are some examples the Author Whitehead to demonstrate the several ways people might see the City of New York. But one thing he emphasized in was a lot and grabbed my attention was “The New York City you live in is not my New York” what he meant by it was The memories , your way of life, the way you see New York is not that way he see’s it. Many remember New York City with Old buildings and those buildings might not exist anymore but to the person who saw them, they still are there. Everyone has a different prospective of New York, everyone experienced it in a different way. At the end like that author had said Our lives might move on and we might pass away but New York will continue its daily routine, it will continue without us.
