According to the dictionary, clanging refers to a mode of speech characterized by association of words based upon sound rather than concepts; and glaring to something that is shining intensely and blindingly.

So we can say that "The connotations of clanging and glaring suggest that the city is <u>in a chaos.</u>

I would say that the city is busy, populous, modern, yet devoid of humanity, the author seems to suggest. "Clanging" evokes a loud sound, coming, perhaps, from a streetcar, or a crowded street, whereas "glaring" evokes an intense, almost blinding, light, which might come from the marquee of a theater or the window of a fancy store. Yet, this abundance of light, the author ponders, which could seemingly equal progress, prosperity, and happiness, is bringing people neither joy nor pride or freedom. Hence her relief when she leaves the city behind and arrives to the familiarity and the humanity of her home.

The car quickly flipped around and almost raced down the street as quietly as possible without losing sight of me. I quickly got up, ran a little so it didn't look like I'd stopped, and continued on my walk. I had turned here and there, wound around several places, and the car was still following me from quite a distance. I had gone so far that I was near a friends house. I decided to avoid a conflict with the strange person, I would have to go see my friend Jen in the late hours of the night. I would explain to her what had happened, and just in case the person could see me through the window, I would act like I went there for a reason. Maybe pretend I was late for something. I got to her house and the bedroom light was on. All I could think to myself was <em>thank god</em>. I got up to the door and....
