Modernism Reflection: WINTER DREAMS by F. SCOTT FITZGERALD I found F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story “Winter Dreams” to be very avant-garde and elitist as it tells of the rise of Dexter Green‚ a hardworking‚ middle class man who becomes caught up in the pursue of wealth and status. In his quest to be part of the ‘old money’ elite‚ he meets Judy Jones‚ a beautiful and youthful woman who further fuels his desire for greater wealth. The story addresses the ‘American dream’ where it was believed

Olds describes a family scenario where the mom grieves as she feels she is losing control over her daughter. In “Those Winter Sundays”‚ there is a theme of sacrificing for your family‚ regardless of the lack of appreciation given back. While both are attention grabbing stories‚ between the two‚ “The Possessive” by Sharon Olds evokes the interest of readers more than “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden because of the intense imagery that grasps the reader’s attention.

I agree that Winter Sonata is the pioneer of Hanryu. Like the article describes‚ Winter Sonata contain different elements which catch the eyeballs of middle aged women. The ‘pure love’ plots‚ the romantic and slow-paced scenes and the choice of actors blended and created a chemistry action which provide rooms for the audience to fantasize and envision themselves in the scenes of the drama. Winter Sonata not only fulfills the sensational needs of the middle aged women‚ but also fulfills their psychological
