New York is an incredible city. Known as the city that never sleeps, its nights are as lively as its days.Sometimes you can feel lost in the excitement.

When the jaguar was taken by the police stealing a bmw was “gobi’s idea of keeping a low profile ”(Schreiber 285). Having to take his dad’s car without permission and stealing a bmw were not things Perry would even think of doing, but since they are in New York Gobi has to steal and force Perry to go along with her. This caused Perry to feel uneasy and conflicted with
