"Well, do you know how to drive a motor-boat? Because if you do I wish you'd drive this one so I can ride on the surf-board behind. My name is Judy Jones"--she favored him with an absurd smirk--rather, what tried to be a smirk, for, twist her mouth as she might, it was not grotesque, it was merely beautiful--"and I live in a house over there on the Island, and in that house there is a man waiting for me. When he drove up at the door I drove out of the dock because he says I'm his ideal."
His wish to stop being a caddy is a challenge because many other jobs requires other experiences that Dexter lacks and how does this connect to the American dream? Well, many Americans claim that their country is the land of opportunity, however, it is not always true. Many people in the United States, to this day, are affected through biased and unfair thoughts, and many people do not receive the opportunities that they obviously deserve, such as Dexter.
"Long ago," he said, "long ago, there was something in me, but now that thing is gone. Now that thing is gone, that thing is gone. I cannot cry. I cannot care. That thing will come back no more."
Here it shows how the American dream and how much people invest in it can only make one's feelings sink even more.
