New York Flashcards
Apartment size
“small living room, a small dining room, a small bedroom.”
The atmosphere of the apartment
“crowded”
the apartment is distasteful unlike EE
“furniture entirely too large for it.”
“over-enlarged photograph”
NYC filled with gossip and drama
“TOWN TATTLE” “small scandal magazines of broadway.”
Nick and his growing love for NYC
“I began to like New York, the racy, adventurous feel of it at night and the constant satisfaction that the constant flicker of men and woman and machines gives to the restless eye.”
Nick liking the secretive nature of NYC so he won’t be judged
“pick out romantic woman from the crowd and imagine in a few minutes I was going to enter their lives and no one would ever know or disapprove.”
Nick once again is lonley
“enchanted, metropolitan twilight I felt a haunting loneliness”
high tense situation in the Plaza
“herding us into that room”
