The New York city that E.B. White depicts is one of harsh nature and bold confrontations. With such a harsh city, you ask yourself how anyone would want to put up with new york city when it is simply a wasteland of harsh attitudes. The beauty of New York city is that it actually is not harsh at all. It is a mixture of so many, yet all are equal in the city. There is not one that is better than the other, for it's all more of a matter of "survival" than anything else. If you don't keep up, you'll fall down, and if you do keep up, then your one of many in a city of equals. The best parts of White's stories is that each one can have a different life and different experiences with the city and other people, but it's all really the same difficulties. New Yorkers make many sacrifices to live in the city, but in the end each and every one is rewarded by the beauty of equality in masses.
