Forever a novel by pete hamill5/26/2023 New York City is as much a character in the novel as any of the people Cormac meets, and he has the opportunity to see the city change through the centries. Yet after centuries in Manhattan, Cormarc still does "not exactly think of himself as an America, but he was definitely a New Yorker" (page 404). Cormac participates in some of the key events in the founding of the American republic. In what ways do these groups come into conflict with one another? In what ways do they live side by side harmoniously?ģ. The city is a cultural meeting place for British colonists, African slaves, and Irish immigrants, to name a few groups. With Cormac's arrival in Manhattan, we see that ethnic diversity is a predominant feature in eighteenth-century New York. Before he's actually granted immortality, Kongo insists that Cormac "must truly live," not "simply exist." Does Cormac fulfill that mandate? Given Cormac's experience, would you choose to live forever?Ģ. Cormac O'Connor is given the opportunity of a lifetime-to life forever.
