Winter Dreams as Told by Emily

Once upon  a time, there was a young man named Dexter Green who began his rise to a successful business man as a caddy on a golf course.  Little did he know that he would meet the girl of his dreams the day he quit.  Many years later, Dexter was hitting the peak of his success, and he was now a member of the golf club he used to work at.  While playing a game of golf, one of the men playing with him was struck with a ball hit by Judy Jones, who Dexter had met when he used to caddy. Later that night he sees Judy again, when she asks him to drive her boat so she can water ski.  She left her date who she doesn't like because of his lack of money.  Today, this would be considered something very wrong to do.  Dexter begins to pursue Judy.  She shows affection towards him, but she won't stop toying with other men.  Dexter continues to work; Judy continues to date multiple men.  Dexter decides that he will never get Judy, and he develops feelings for a girl named Irene.  Before Dexter and Irene are about to announce their engagement to everybody, Irene has a headache and cannot go out to make the announcement.  Dexter decides to go out to the club without her and sees the one person that could change everything again: Judy Jones.  The two discuss their previous relationship and Judy states that she wants to marry Dexter.  The two go for a go for a ride, and Judy expresses her undying love for Dexter.  It is as if she wants him to be like Moses, a man that will do anything for his people, and in this case the people are referring to Judy.  After the pair arrive at Judy's house, she invites him inside, and Dexter agrees.  After this Dexter moves away and begins to climb the business ladder again.  One of his co-workers, Devin, tells him that Judy has married a man that doesn't treat her well and she is not pretty anymore.  Judy went from a pink elephant, special and beautiful, to an average, normally colored elephant.  This rhetoric change shows how Judy was put into her place by a man she thought she truly loved, but she ended up disappointed.  Dexter, much like Gatsby, spent so much time in their lives trying to achieve the love of one woman, that they don't know where their lives went.
