Select the correct answer. Read this excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams": "I'm more beautiful than anybody else,"

she said brokenly, "why can't I be happy?" Her moist eyes tore at his stability—her mouth turned slowly downward with an exquisite sadness: "I'd like to marry you if you'll have me, Dexter. I suppose you think I'm not worth having, but I'll be so beautiful for you, Dexter." What important statement or statements are made in the excerpt about the upper-class world that Judy grew up in and that Dexter aspires to join? Those in the upper classes only value surface appearances. Those in the upper class do not understand love and typically have unhappy marriages. Judy values only her own desires because she is immature and self-absorbed. A. 1, 2, and 3 B. 3 C. 1 and 3 D. 2 and 3 E. 2

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. 1 and 3.

Explanation:

This excerpt of Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" says a lot about the upper class in just a few lines. Criticizing the upper class is a common theme for Fitzgerald; his most famous work, "The Great Gatsby", is all about revealing how rotten the rich are underneath the golden appearance.

This excerpt shows through Judy's character that the upper class values surface appearances and that Judy herself is immature and self-absorbed. Judy is a very wealthy girl who has never had to work hard - or work at all - to get anything she's ever wanted. She takes it all for granted, including happiness. If she is beautiful and has money, then the only logical assumption she can make is that she deserves to be happy. Also, it does not matter to her what other people may want. Who cares if Dexter does not wish to marry her? She wants to get married (self-absorbed) and she is beautiful (surface appearance), and that should suffice in her opinion.
