Read this excerpt from "Goodbye to All That" by Joan Didion.

Part of what I want to tell you is what it is like to be young in New York, how six months can become eight years with the deceptive ease of a film dissolve, for that is how those years appear to me now, in a long sequence of sentimental dissolves and old-fashioned trick shots—the Seagram Building fountains dissolve into snowflakes, I enter a revolving door at twenty and come out a good deal older, and on a different street.

How does Joan Didion's extended metaphor of comparing her time in New York to a movie affect the tone of this excerpt?

It creates a romantic, reverential tone as Didion describes snapshots of her greatest triumphs in New York.

It creates a frank, objective tone as Didion focuses on her flaws and the failures she endured while in New York.

It creates a nostalgic, meditative tone as Didion reflects on how quickly her time in New York seemed to pass.

It creates a flippant, glib tone so Didion can convey how superficial and thoughtless she was when she lived in New York.

Read this excerpt from "Goodbye to All That" by Joan Didion.

But to those of us who came from places where no one had heard of Lester Lanin and Grand Central Station was a Saturday radio program, where Wall Street and Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue were not places at all but abstractions (“Money,” and “High Fashion,” and “The Hucksters”), New York was no mere city.

Which statement best explains the impact that the allusion to "The Hucksters," a Hollywood film set in New York, has on the meaning of the text?


It helps Didion convey the idea that her initial conception of New York City was based on intangible ideals and fictional depictions rather than concrete experiences and reality.

It allows Didion to highlight how much she—someone who actually lived in New York—differed from those who only experienced the city through idealized depictions in the movies.

It helps Didion express her sense that there was no difference between the New York presented in the movies and the one in which she and millions of other people lived.

It allows Didion to suggest that she was unique among those who came to New York from elsewhere because she alone had developed a mental picture of the city based on film depictions of it.

3. Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of the narrative.

In “Goodbye to All That,” Joan Didion says that when she lived in New York, she was “most comfortable in the company of Southerners” because they also viewed their time in New York as temporary.

She recalls how they all hated New York and wanted to leave as soon as possible.


She notes that they all spoke differently than New Yorkers.


She describes how they all had a difficult time finding their way in New York when they first arrived

1. It creates a nostalgic, meditative tone as Didion reflects on how quickly her time in New York seemed to pass.

The images of the revolving door and the fountain water turning to snow are ways of showing the time passing.

2. It helps Didion convey the idea that her initial conception of New York City was based on intangible ideals and fictional depictions rather than concrete experiences and reality.

In the passage she says "us" which eliminates the last option.  She talks about how she is the one who had idealized notions of the city. The sentence following this excerpt talks about how she had a "romantic notion" of the city. This supports that her view of the city was based on tangible ideals and fictional depictions.

3. She mentions that they all had a plane schedule in the drawer, ready to fly back to where they came from on short notice.

In the text she talks about how they were on "extended leave from wherever they belong" and that they have plane tickets in their drawers.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Read the passage. excerpt from "Why Equal Pay Is Worth Fighting For" by Senator Elizabeth Warren, April 17, 2014 I honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. When I started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. Women have made incredible strides since then. But 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. Women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. Bloomberg analyzed Census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. In 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. That's not an accident; that's discrimination. The effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. Today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. Pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . . . For middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on Mom's salary as they do on Dad's, if not more. Women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. Women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. Today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. Here in the Senate, Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) introduced the Paycheck Fairness Act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. It would help ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. Senator Warren argues that women experience wage discrimination across all primary fields of employment. Is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? A. No; Warren weakens her point by noting, "Women have made incredible strides since then. But 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work." B.Yes; Warren supports her claim by noting, "Today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans." C.Yes; Warren supports her claim by noting, "Bloomberg analyzed Census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories." D. No; Warren weakens her point by noting, "Today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
