F. Scott Fitzgerald, a man, famous during the 1920's for writing novels. He was
born in the middle west out in the country and lived a well life in the middle class area. Fitzgerald
went to Princton but did not graduate because he felt out of place with the "rich children". There
he began to develop his love for writing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald became a well-known man for his writing abilites. He wrote the book,
The Great Gatsby and it became an instant hit. Fitzgerald became famous and married the love of
his life, Zelda, who was a rich and classey woman who only married Fitzgerald for his money and
fame. In the book, The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald related his wife the the relationship of Daisy
and Tom. Daisy married Tom for his money and Tom married Daisy for her money, nothing out
of love but of greed and they both knew it. The sad thing about it is that they really didnt care.
Another relative thing that happened to Fitzgerald as to Daisy and Gatsby is that the two used to
be in love as Fitzgeral and Zelda were, but niether could marry because of the different money
classes. You had to marry into your own wealth or you were looked down on.
Some other intresting points about the novel that compared to Fitzgerald's own life was
that Fitzgerald made the character, Nick, into his own person that Fitzgerald wanted himself as.
Fitzgerald had Nick do everything that he wanted to do and maybe even not do. Nick went to a
fancy college, Yale to be exact, but graduated while working hard the whole way. The two both
lived in the middle class area. Fitzgerald and Nick both tried to go and be apart of somthing that
they really arnt and put aside or even forget about where they really came from. It seemed as if
Fitzgerald was Nick and Nick was Fitzgerald.
Gatsby and Fitzgerald were similar in a way that when they became famous, they hid their
past and put forth an act sort...
