Why I Moved to West Egg

I had just returned home from fighting in World War I and I had no idea where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. As time passed, I jumped around from occupation to occupation trying to find out what career I would like to pursue, but nothing stuck out. I know I can handle any job because I'm a hard worker and I don't give up.  On top of finding a job, I had to make a decision on where I wanted to live and I knew that I could not stay in Minnesota. I knew I had to leave everything behind in the Midwest and turn my life totally around. I then decided to be a stock broker, so I moved to New York City. The stock market was booming and New York City was the center of this new, exciting business. My only problem was that I did not want to live in the heart of New York City because it would be too much of a change coming from plain, simple Minnesota. Would New York City be too busy, overwhelming, and too distracting?  I did some research and poked around the city and finally found a nice place in an area called West Egg. I decided on a small house at the tip of West Egg because it's a great location.  This spot is my best bet because it fits my taste and likenesses and I can take the train that runs through the town into the city so I can work on Wall Street.  I have the best of both worlds, I can still live a suburban life style away from all of the madness going on downtown.
