Find a passage that you think is particularly well written.  What is it about the passage that appeals to you?

Imagine a modern-day Gatsby in the LT area. Where would he live?  Where would he wish to live? What and who might he yearn for? What would his party be like?  What kind of music would play? What rumors would exist about him?
