He takes stand by expressing his feelings and concerns with use of wit and humour. Evidently F. Scott attends carefully to his audience, his letter is geared to a adolescent, young adult audience. The letter is written with human experiences to deal specifically to this specific genre. This then shows realization to the audience that he in fact is concerned and wants the best for Scottie.
I personally feel that F.Scott Fitzgeralds letter was appropriate for its intention of guidance. H e expressed his anger midly, with the use of humour, wit, concern. He makes the generation gap evident. He says "you think of me as an older person, an "authority"... for the young can't believe in the youth of their fathers." F. Scott uses his past experiences and knowledge to guide his troubled daughter in the right foot steps intellectually and emotionally. Scotties lack of interest and guidance is evident as Fitzgerald says, "you will reject it now but at a later period some of it may come back to you as truth."
