Alice left her hometown and went to the metropolis of New York to continue her life, and settled in Brooklyn.
She just arrived at the host family, she is not used to the strange people and the strange environment.
Alice became a salesperson, but she was absent-minded at work, embarrassing customers.
Later, at Christmas, she went to church to help and met many people who were in a foreign land like her. They were squeezed by the environment, and they were almost too embarrassed to live. Alice seemed to see her own shadow, and they were all pitiful. Alien. One person got up and sang an Irish folk song, everyone ate and drank, and some people fell down inadvertently, lingering in the song that had ended. Alice shed tears listening to the singing, and couldn't help thinking of everything in her hometown. This was also her most nostalgic feeling.
Later, Alice met Tony by accident, and the two had a great conversation at the dance, and gradually developed a spark of love. Everything seemed to be getting better, more attentiveness at work, more harmony in the host family, less homesickness, and then they chose to get married, and she felt at home
But the accident happened, her sister Rose died suddenly at home, Alice had to go back. She had a very harmonious relationship with her sister and had been in correspondence with her all the time. Rose's death was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
Alice's mother doesn't seem to want her to go, so she secretly arranges a job for her, and also intends to match her with Jim. But Alice didn't tell her mother that she was married, but she seemed to gradually fall in love with jim again. They danced and played at the beach. Alice's heart for returning to the United States did not seem so strong, and she began to be in a dilemma.
At this time, the owner of the grocery store called her personally and said that she knew that she was married, and the whole town knew about her and jim. The proprietress thought she could control Alice, but this strengthened her determination to go to America. So she booked a ferry ticket for tomorrow and went back to Brooklyn.
On the boat, she told a girl that when you go to customs, you must keep your eyes open, so that others will feel that you know where you are going. The girl asked if it was like home, and Alice said yes, it was like home.
Alice returned to Brooklyn, she stood in the sun, watching Tony, Tony rushed, the two hugged tightly, this feeling is like home, the original feeling of home is not so far away.
Why do I like "Brooklyn", it realistically depicts a young girl's sense of confusion and helplessness away from home, and the sense of confusion about love. She slowly endured everything, continued to grow, clarified her own path, and no longer became confused, but pursued everything that belonged to her and mastered her life.
Because she understands that self-actualization is above all else.
