Daisy Twiff lazily squinted her eyes as her small, New York terrier pranced on Daisy in excitement. The 10 year old girl was always serious, smart and polite. As usual she slowly placed her dog, Liz, down on the warm fuzzy sheets of her bed and unlocked her tiny, circular window. Then she peered out the opening and saw the sunrise stretch over the horizon.

Once Liz, Liz and Julie noticed Daisy’s wide eyed eyes they jumped up in joy on all four legs creating a musical beat with their hooves. Before Daisy could ask anything, they excitedly exclaimed on how an important meeting would start soon. It declared the knowledge of Daisy’s stay or ride home to Earth. As she was in-taking this startling fact the Miss Daisy Twiff swiftly pounced up with confidantes and bolted ahead of the servants. They sprinted non stop for 2 miles where the brief location of the important, interesting conversations would be held. All through the talk Daisy nervously sat, her legs trembling, biting her long, thin finger nails against her skinny, red lip. The closer to the final decision the faster and harder her heart pumped.

A time described by Frederick Lewis Allen as a superficial world of flirtatious women, fast cars, and flowing liquor, the twenties seemed to be years of nothing but excitement. F.

It reflects America and its values by exemplifying the abounding loss of morality, the sense of materialism, and the period of denial which succeeded the war. Money and morals had an inverse relationship during this decade.…

    151) “Keeping half a dozen dates a day with half a dozen men” is something most people would see as a selfish and careless thing to do. Daisy doesn’t seem to care about anybody in her life except for herself.
