Refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of the narrative. 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 meaning of this excerpt? it subtly suggests that didion's experiences in new york have been fictionalized, which calls the truthfulness of her account into question. it develops didion's assertion that her experiences in new york were important and interesting enough to be worthy of being filmed. it highlights didion's belief that all people who live in new york feel as though they are the stars of an epic film about their experiences. it establish the idea that didion's experiences in new york feel somewhat surreal to her now, like those of a character in a movie.
