RICH PEOPLE PROBLEM

PLOT
 Bettina Ortiz y Meña was not accustomed to waiting. She was a
former Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe runner-up. She is the
wife of Miami auto-parts tycoon, Herman Ortiz y Meña, and at
every restaurant she chose to grace with her presence. She
always greeted with reverence and whisked to the exact table she
desired. She wanted the corner table on the terrace at Sip Sip, her
favorite lunch spot on Harbor Island but someone already
occupied by the tourist that she referred as overly tanned,
wrinkled and saggy.

 The three-and-a-half-mile-long paradise sandbeaches was one of

the best-kept secrets in the Carribean. Tourists should have to
take a style exam before being allowed to set foot on the Island,
she says. The island is filled with quaint little wood houses
painted in shades of sherbet, charmin boutiques, chicocean front
mansions turned into inns, five-star restaurants to rival St. Barths.
 Bettina stormed into the kitchen and talked to Julie,
the owner of the restaurant. Julie said to her that
the tourist she was referring are the people who
have a big title. After that, Bettina started to judge
those people that surrounds her in that particular
place, where every people she saw, she always had
judgements on them.

CONFLICT
 PERSON VS. PERSON

The conflict starts when Bettina didn't get a

spot on the terrace at Sip Sip (her favorite lunch
spot) so she complained and stormed to the
owner of the restaurant.
RICH PEOPLE PROBLEM

CLIMAX
 Bettina stormed the restaurant, especially
the owner of it where she was shouting the
owner why she let those tourists take up all
that space. On the other way, when she
knew an idea that the tourists she was
referring who take all the spaces are people
who have big title and from that incident,
she was impressed not by big boats but by
people with big title.

THEME
The central themes reflected in the story are
Greed, Curiosity, Social Pressure and in some
ways of Love and Devotion.

On the other hand, the theme that mainly

highlights an excerpt of the story are:
 Don't let your ego eats your whole identity.
 Be true to yourself.
 It's okay to be judgmental but make sure
that you're perfect before you judge someone by
its cover and never spread discriminations.
