+F. Scott Fitzgerald: The diamond as big as the Ritz
+===================================================
+
+# Chapter 2
+
+John, Percy and negroes
+
+John and Percy finally arrive at the train station where negroes are already
+positioned and prepared for their arrival. John is very astonished after
+seeing the wealth that revolves around Percy. The first thing he notices are
+emeralds and other wealthy decorations of the car, and he is completely
+speechless.
+
+...
+
+# Questions
+
+## What does the Fish point to?
+
+The Fish is a minimalistic and forgotten village in the woods of northern
+parts of the United Stated, it is a secret entrance to the Percy's father's
+palace.
+
+## How is the village of "Fish" depicted and what message does the author
+convey?
+
+The author tries to picture a sense of dark, cloudy and moody weather, dark
+green trees and an unpleasant environment for bypassers, making sure no one
+would come near the old minute village.
+
+## Which detail shows that Braddock Washington keeps his wealth secret?
+
+The long drive and the shallow and cumbersome path leading to the great
+treasure.
+
+## Why is John amazed by the limousine?
+
+Because he'd never seen such wealth before with his own eyes, being a rich man
+he is simply amazed. The interior is overdone with silk, gold and other
+expensive qualities, such as luxurious armchairs.
+
+## In which area is the castle located and why nobody knows that it exists?
+
+Because trespassers are killed, geolocation services are altered, and
+aeroplanes are shot down. And of course because the village is so hidden and
+unmapped most think it's already in Canada.
+
+## Provide the words/expressions that describe the luxurious possession and
+are glutted with showy imagery and expensive adjectives.
+
+* the village of Fish, minute, dismal and forgotten.
+* gigantic bruise
+* dark arteries
+* pointless and preposterous phenomenon
+
+## What is the only thing Mr. Washington is afraid of?
+
+Whatever happened at the end of the story. Getting caught and losing his
+fortune.
+
+## How does John respond to their excessive affluence
+
+He falls asleep due to the astonishment. He is very kind and shows great
+respect towards the owners of the great property.
