Fitzgerald Exit Ticket Reflection
Fitzgerald represents the story with many subliminal humourous messages such as making fun of religion, youth, and riches. For instance, the village of fish are represented by 12 men called the 12 men of Fish. These people are a cult and do not believe in religion. Supposedly they are a opposite of what religion is because of their beliefs. A relation could be the Ku Klux Klan because they are claimed to be christian yet discriminate peoples skin colour, etc. Youth is made of a joke in the story because Percy, a rich adolescent boy has the behaviour of a ten year old. I say that because of how much he has too brag about and the author makes him sound like a snobby boy. Riches is also made fun of because of he assumes his dad is the most richest boy, and how he exaggerates on how big his diamonds are.

I liked how you connected your answer with the KKK because it wasn't something we learned in class and shows you can make a connection.
