Group B “City Limits”

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 cities seem very weak next to New York City. It’s a great place because when you live here there are lots of opportunities like awesome schools and amazing jobs. Everyone has their own city, based on their memories and those memories create many different “New York Cities.” 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 difficult way. With Colson’s description of a New Yorker is no wonder that towards the end of the reading he starts to say that once you are a inside New York you will not want to live anywhere else.
