Living so many different towns growing up would be an adventure to say the least. There would be both positive and negative about moving around so much as a young kid but it seems that it helped James out in starting his career. James must have been a smart guy to be able to get into Harvard Law School at the age of nineteen. With all the travel he made during his upbringing I think that set the stage for his somewhat experience when he started publishing short stories in eighteen sixty four when he was only twenty one. Living in different countries in Europe as a young kid must have had a big influence on him since he decided to settle in England. I think the short story Daisy Miller is James way to explain how different Europe and America really are in his eyes. Daisy the American is in a totally different society and meets a boy named Winterbourne who is from Switzerland. He does not fall for her or realize his love for her until she dies. I think the boy’s culture had a big influence on how he perceived Daisy at first. I believe their names sort of represent who and how they are in the story.
