Answer 1

Answer:

Joan Didion made use of subtle similes in her essay and also made good use of personification as well as rhetorical devices.

Explanation:

In "Goodbye to All That", Joan Didion compares the experiences in New York to what happens at a fair. Fairs as she says lures people in through the loud buzzers, lights and games. She became tired of the NYC fair. she enjoyed the games as a child and was eager to play as many games as she could, but Didion outgrows the city and those stuffs do not intrigue her anymore.

Didion sees NYC as a fate that is legendary and a thought that represents something, this exposition also depicts NYC as much superior to anything.
