What is the theme of the passage Anson does it all

Fitzgerald explores the ways in which wealth seems to rob Anson of any real meaning in his life. As a society, we generally assume that the rich have it better than everyone else. While people look up to Anson as a leader, especially towards the end of "The Rich Boy" when he takes this role more seriously, it is clear that despite those that fawn over him, there is no real substance to Anson's life. This is especially apparent when Anson realizes there is no one interested in spending an evening with him.He is not driven by his career, hobbies, or political or religious convictions. He does not have people in his life that he cares about deeply or others who care about him. Beyond chasing pleasures of the moment and wanting to be wanted, there is nothing of real value in Anson's life.t is clear that Anson is incredibly controlling; he's used to getting what he wants with no strings attached. This has left him unable to accept responsibility for his actions or to recognize their effect on others. This is especially obvious when he forces his aunt and her lover to end their affair, which devastates his aunt and ends in the death of her lover. Despite the sorrow he's had a hand in, Anson does not recognize or feel remorse for the pain he has caused, even when it has lost him a relationship with his family member. The extremity of Anson's manipulation, coupled with the reality that his interference doesn't actually benefit him in any way, exemplifies the recklessness and carelessness with which Fitzgerald characterizes the very worst of the rich.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
