It was the hot humid day when I got off the airplane from South Korea to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. As soon as I entered New York airport, it was a new transition to my life. I can still remember those special moments at the airport that reminds me of the image of New York. You might think it is weird to choose a photograph of John F. Kennedy Airport that represents the image of New York and essential to me. However, it is a personal place that reminds me of New York. I used to hear about
Thousands of little kids, and nobody’s around–nobody big, I mean–except me. And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff.

Jing-mei says, “All he is seeing out the train window is a sectioned field of yellow, green, and brown, a narrow canal flanking the tracks, low rising hills, and three other people in blue jackets riding an ox-driven cart on this early October morning. And I can’t help myself, I also have misty eyes, as if I had seen this a long, long time ago, and I also almost forgotten” (264). The description of colors such as yellow, green, and brown are earthy and related to season of fall. In a way, the setting

catch an early flight from Heathrow airport. I was so excited I forgot about the daunting effort of getting up so early. My Mum, Dad, Brother, grandparents and I set off on the long journey to the airport, then Orlando Florida.
