Breakfast at Tiffany's

I've found it's always interesting to read a book you've read before but at a different point in your life. When I was younger I read "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and I didn't really think about the experiences people go through when they come to New York with their various backgrounds, like how Holly does in the book. I also never thought about looking at this city through the perspective of an outsider because I've always lived here. Reading this book now for this course with so many people new to this city has showed me how truly different the city is to everyone here, and how there's really no such thing as an outsider. The collective irony is that many of the people living in New York aren't from here, yet this city is defined by their being in it.
