Explanation:
"Winter Dreams" is a short story penned by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story is divided into six parts and narrates the story of the protagonist named Dexter.
Dexter has come from a humble origin with his father owning a grocery store in the Black Bear. In the story, Dexter fell in love with a spoiled rich girl named Judy Jones. She have many admirers that were wealthy and rich. When Dexter noticed these admirers he compared himself and dreamed and desired of becoming wealthy to gain Judy's love. These admirers, as Dexter noticed, went to wealthy schools, had nice clothes, etc because they inherited them from their parents. But Dexter thought of himself as a rough and strong man that he can earn wealth on his own and will win her lover's love. These thoughts made Dexter 'newer and stronger.'
Even though Dexter had such thoughts about these wealthy men he desired his children to be like them. But, this thought has not to be taken in a literal sense as Dexter does not want his children to be spoiled brats. But, Dexter wanted his children to be born in wealth. He wants his children to go to rich schools, wear nice clothes, etc.
