F. Scott Fitzgerald, although angry, still managed to attend to his audience. It is clear that he put a lot of time and thought into his letter to Scottie. Fitz wants her to understand the letter and not dismiss it, which is why he asks her to read it over twice. At first the letter may come across as a bit harsh and Fitz knows this. Fitz still sees potential in her and expresses this to Scottie when he states, "I see signs of life and intention in you, there is no company in the world I prefer for there is no doubt that you have something in your belly, some real gusto for life-a real dream of your own." Fitz, though disappointed, will still carry out the roles of fatherhood but makes it quit clear he does not want to hear Scottie's displeasing promises anymore.
Even though the majority of the letter was negative, it was mainly about Scottie and would hold her attention. The parts where Fitz was writing about himself were included only to assist Scottie in understanding her father's conceptions. This proves that he does tend to his audience...
