Modernism: Jelly bean response

I really enjoyed reading jelly bean one because it was a good story and two it was easy for me to read. This is the first story I have read for the literature projects that has been in modern style english. In the story jelly bean the main character is Jim "Jelly-bean." I really like Jim through the whole story because he's kind've a laid back avoid complication kind've guy. When he's invited to a party he tries to stay out of the way but ends up stealing the show winning money and a kiss from the hottest girl in town.

I like how in the end of the story things don't go Jelly Bean's way, and the hot girl (Nancy Lamar) goes and marries her boyfriend, because that's the way it would work in real life. Though it would've made a beautiful ending it would've been fake. Hot Girls don't just leave their big bulky boyfriends for nobodys when they get drunk at partys. F. Scott Fitzgerald did a really good jod delivering a "real" story.
