City Limits by Colson Whitehead was largely about his perspective towards New York and why he was a New Yorker. In the passage, he explains being a New Yorker as being someone who has seen things come and go, people, buildings, businesses. When you’re a New Yorker or not, it really doesn’t matter because you’re on your own slice meaning you’re on your own. In the passage it says, “The city is constantly changing, so fast that you won’t have the time to say goodbye.” This sentence means that everything is changing you won’t even realize it and you don’t even have the time to say bye. New York is such a big place that almost everyone in the world knows and New York has a big reputation so that is why people are so surprised to meet a New Yorker. Everything in New York changes so fast because of building constructions, people, and houses.
