"What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon? And the day after that, and the next thirty years?"-Scott Fitzgerald

After reading and analyzing the passages of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Winter Dreams, and This Side of Paradise, compose a brief passage characterizing someone you know in the style of Fitzgerald's writing:

Be sure to use physical features, particularly his/her clothing, build, gait, facial features/expressions, skin tone, hair or speech to
convey some intangible characteristics.
Place your subject in a familiar setting, engaged in a predictable activity.
Remember, this is just a passage, a beginning, if you will, not a complete story.
