In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and he champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his motor-boats slid the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam. On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains" (Fitzgerald, 30). 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338650602 2019-03-06 23:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338650602 "Her voice is full of money" (Fitzgerald, 100) 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338651058 2019-03-06 23:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338651058 "'I like to come,' Lucille said.

When I was here last I tore my gown on a chair, and he asked me my name and address – inside of a week I got a package from Croirier's with a new evening gown in it.' 'Did you keep it?' asked Jordan. 'Sure I did. I was going to wear it tonight, but it was too big in the bust and had to be altered. It was gas blue with lavender beads. Two hundred and sixty-five dollars'"(Fitzgerald, 120). 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338652002 2019-03-06 23:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338652002 You can buy one big house or 50 small ones with this car. 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338654554 .]]> 2019-03-06 23:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338654554 In today's world the American Dream is only achievable by the privileged because in order to achieve that dream you need money and you truly don't have money unless your born with it. 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338659034 2019-03-06 23:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338659034 "Money buys you happiness" 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338659664 Buys you cars, houses, can get you a significant other]]> 2019-03-06 23:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338659664 Who buys a house for a single family that has more square footage then a school 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338659895 2019-03-06 23:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338659895 Showing off your money 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338660183 2019-03-06 23:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338660183 $200 bucks for a shirt no problem 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338661071 2019-03-07 00:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338661071 Only reason to have a boat is for fun 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338661273 2019-03-07 00:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338661273 "Small loan of a million dollars" 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338661670 2019-03-07 00:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338661670 Mean means money 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338662239 2019-03-07 00:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338662239 Worth as much as my car 20cho https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338662634 2019-03-07 00:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20cho/l4yxww1qpyr5/wish/338662634
