Part A

What is one theme in Joan Didion's "Goodbye to All That"?

Only the most sophisticated and intellectually curious people can ever truly understand New York City.

A person's love for an idealized place will dissipate as soon as he or she encounters it in reality.

Youthful enthusiasm, optimism, and naïveté can lead a person to "fall in love" with a place.

There is frenetic beauty to city life that cannot be appreciated by those who have not grown up experiencing it.

Question 2
