mias story

New York City’s Skyline is a confessional piece about a wealthy young girl who wants to move to New York City. The story takes place on a hill where you could see the Baltimore city skyline where she has the realization that she has been doing everything that other people want her to do while doing nothing for herself. After a brief conversation with a police officer she decides it’s time for her to move to New York. I like the setting of the story and that there is a lot of confession within this story. I think it’s a great subject for a story. Everybody with demanding parents feels the need to break out from them. This is a story that will resonate with others. I like that Mia made the character drunk. Even though drunk driving is awful I think it makes the character seem more real because they have been given flaws. I think it is an issue however how quickly we are told that the main character is the daughter of wealthy CEO. I think it throws off the flow of the story. I think it could be twisted a little bit to make it flow better in the story. I think she might have wanted to describe the skyline and the setting a little more because it’s a little vague and difficult to get an image of what the character looks like.
