City I could speak of Joan Didion’s use of rhetorical devices. I could describe every subtle simile she imposes and preach of her incredible use of personification‚ but I think the most important piece of the essay would‚ then‚ be neglected. In "Goodbye to All That‚" Didion compares her experiences in New York to the occurrences at a fair. This metaphor is discussed in a very roundabout way.
