In the winter‚ everything required a sluggish attentiveness that I didn’t have the tolerance for. Driving had always been a tranquil and lulling thing for me‚ up until I hit solid black ice.

She told me it was a book by an author named Sister Soulja called “The Coldest Winter Ever.” With a scrunched up face and through squinted eyes I asked “you’re reading about winter?” With a soft chuckle she replied “No‚ that is the name of the main character.” That intrigued my interest because I never heard of anyone being named after a season before. So I asked her to tell

The story I chose to read was “Winter Dreams” by Fitzgerald. Addressing the first part of the question‚ Fitzgerald’s “Winter Dreams” depicts the transformation of traditional American culture to a materialistic‚ joy-seeking society. Fitzgerald’s short story is unique in comparison to other modernist works as he takes a longer timeframe to express his message. The story begins with Dexter as a young teenager and ends with him being in his late twenties to early thirties. Nonetheless‚ the story underlines
