- The pinnacle is to be rich and then to keep on getting more rich.

FITZGERALD'S OPINION ON THE UPPER CLASS
- Fitzgerald read a story about Bigger animals such as elephants who are loud and slow that were bossing around smaller animals such as foxes who are sneaky and quick.
- He personally admired the smaller animals, saying that the smaller animals were those that were not the rich people and had to be intelligent in order to keep on living.
- The bigger animals were the rich people who are always attempting to show that they are better and do not need to work as hard for they already made it big.
