In watching this video, it is apparent that the author has a great love and fondness for his hometown of Coney Island. That feeling of nostalgia that we all seem to feel towards our own homes permeates the entire piece. He dreams about the "dream land" that it once was yet still recognizes that it is certainly not. His descriptions of this treasured place are also extremely insteresting. In describing what the Island is not, he sets a stage in the viewers mind so that when he finally reaches what this place is, one can much more clearly see it.
