Puzzle Paragraph 1 I did it in three sentences - can I get bonus
points? :)
Today, everyone hears about celebrities with more money than
they could ever need going crazy; no one would be overly surprised if a
billionaire decided to search the Savannah for pink elephants or imagined he or
she was the modern-day Moses. When
Fitzgerald writes of the ridiculously rich in his story “The Diamond as Big as
the Ritz,” it isn’t just another story meant to teach a lesson with talking
animals and the classic “Once upon a time…” beginning traditionally vital for a
story to teach morals. Fitzgerald uses a
different approach: extreme exaggeration of what occurs in our time, his famous
rhetoric making the impossible seem possible and the reality of greed and
materialism terrifying enough to make anyone feel "a little tired of diamonds"
(Fitzgerald XI).
