I did not know that the hapless cat in the Pepe LePew cartoons is named Penelope.

I also did not know that.

The student knows the name of Pepe's love interest, but does not realize why a cartoon cat might chase a cartoon mouse? What do "house cats" do with mice? The writer is educated enough to identify the cartoon cat as fulfilling it's "class role" but does not realize that his essay is supposed to be about the dissolute rich of the 1920s?

No way this is real.

If it is real, the student certainly did not crack The Great Gatsby. Or read the CliffNotes. Or just steal an essay from GradeSaver. I guess those go in the plus side of the ledger.

I would also point out that Tom and Jerry are not Loony Toons characters. If I recall correctly, they were MGM cartoons.
