What effect does imagery have on the meaning of "Here Is New York" by E.B. White?

And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum, or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference…


The description of the city’s poorest neighborhoods expresses the writer’s viewpoint that New York is a difficult place to move to.


By describing those who come to New York with nothing but dreams, the writer criticizes the foolishness of youth.


The vivid imagery describes the vitality of the city and the passion that unifies those who make New York their home.


The imagery promotes division and explains why the author has divided New Yorkers into three specific categories.

I had to look for the missing passage and the options and here is the answer:"Here is New York" is a book that was written by E. B. White and Roger Angell. And based on the passage taken from this book, the effect that the symbol has on the meaning on this passage is this: The commuter is the queerest bird of all. The suburb he inhabits has no essential vitality of its own and is a mere roost where he comes at day’s end to go to sleep. (This answer is based on the actual options attached to this question).

Hey there,

Based on my understanding of this question, I understood on how that it would make sense for it would be a vivid imagery describes the vitality of the city and the passion that unifies those who make New York their home. Based on the little passage above, it would makes sense on how this would plug right into the passage.

Hope this helps.
