The Offshore Pirate

Ardita, Ardita, Ardita. The Character of 15 to 21 year old women from the 20th century. Bossy, rude, well learned, as I said, the 20th century. She is also the classic Fitzgerald women, a woman with style who wouldn't wear just anything. She'd wear what ever would shock and bared everything (almost) to shock those who'd like to be shocked. In fact, that sounds a lot like Lily Allen. The British pop star of the moment. That's the women who is ridiculous and couldn't give a care until its too late, I'd like to nominate her for ugliest album cover. Have you seen it? HIDEOUS. The only reason Lily Allen still exists is because of her enchanting and amazing voice. Ardita didn't have a voice but, she did have that... style which made her unforgettable. Her manner is one that you think about even as your reading the next story. If it was for her the protagonist this story wouldn't exist. Carlyle/ Toby Moreland great character but, really its Ardita that matters. I mean Carlyle/Toby Moreland is "sexy" sounding guy but, I can't say that, so I ask the court to scratch that from the record. He is a very "hot" sounding guy and I could imagine him perfectly and I read it I found my self again thinking Fitzgerald for his Amazing description. "He was a young man with a scornful mouth and the bright blue eyes of a healthy baby set in a dark sensitive face. His hair was pitch black, damp and curly--the hair of a Grecian statue gone brunette. He was trimly built, trimly dressed, and graceful as an agile quarter-back." Could it get any better??? No I don't believe it could. This was the first story in the Collected Short Stories Of Fitzgerald. So my mind was blown away by his descpriptions of everything. The sky, the boats, the sound of their voices, was in beautiful details. EVERYTHING.
