When reading Fitzgerald's story "The Rich Boy" I realized that Fitzgerald does not believe that having money means that you will always be happy. You cannot just depend on money to make yourself happy, you need to go and do something or talk to someone in order to fell happy.
When you look at Anson you see that he is very rich. But because of this he acts differently. He acts like certain rules do not apply to him. He does not see why he should have to play by anybody else's rules, if he wants to drink himself under the table then why should he not be able to. He rich and believes that the rich make the rules. This way that he acts reminds me of Mr. Burns form "The Simpsons". Mr. Burns is the richest and oldest person in the city of Springfield. He believes that he can take whatever he wants and do what ever he wants. An example of this is when he stole the oil form the elementary school just to make himself richer and when he tried to block out the sun just because he had the power to because he is rich. Anson finds out that he is wrong when he believes that when he is ready for Paula that she will be waiting for him and he finds out that she is already engages to someone else.

The above reminds me of a situation that I was once in. When I was in high school I like this girl and I knew that she like me but I also liked this other prettier girl who I barely knew. I chose to ask out the one who I barely knew because the other one I knew liked me and there for I thought that she would be waiting for me. I was using her like a backup. After I got to know the other girl I found out that she was not too good of a person and that she already had a boyfriend, I decided to ask the girl that I knew liked me. When I talked to her and she told me that she already had a boy that she was dating I felt really stupid. Instead of just asking the one that I knew like me I tried to go for the prettier girl and ended up with none of them.
