Essay --

The book The Great Gatsby is a detailed drama set during the prohibition era written by author F. Scott Fitzgerald. While reading this book, people might stumble along several coincidences between the book and Fitzgeralds life. This is because F. Scott Fitzgerald uses his life and everything around him to inspire the several(predicate) style of writing in the novel. While some people state The Great Gatsby is a creative novel, others think its just a reflection. F. Scott Ftizgerald uses things that happened in his life to inspire the situations and complications that the characters go through. He apply his imagination in writing the novel, to take him to new heights as a person, and an explorer. Finally Fitzgerald used the government and life of the United States to build the setting of The Great Gatsby. As a writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald wasnt that versatile or well-known. He started off life in New York, attending a private Catholic school. Even as a child, he was ambitious. When h e was a young adult, he attended Princeton, which is an selected college, but he dropped out because he was most likely going to fail. While he was in the army, he fell in love with a woman named Zelda Sayre. Zelda was unwilling to live on such a small income, so she broke off the engagement. After Fitzgerald published a very universal book and becoming rich, Zelda decided to marry him. While they were going through a rough patch and arguing, Fitzgerald discovered the effects of alcohol. He became an alcoholic, but wrote sober. Fitzgerald loosely wrote about aspiration. Soon, he and his wife were spending more money than they were taking in. He was unable to control his finances and created high levels of debt for his family. He took a meliorate to California, where... ...almost overnight, and a week later he married Zelda Sayre in New York. (University) Like Gatsby, as soon as his love found out he was rich, she became interested in him again. Except Daisy never married Gatsby. He was an alcoholic, but he wrote sober. While Gatsby did not drink, it was a result of his mentor Dan Cody was an alcoholic. Fitzgerald used his habituation as a key factor in this novel. The chief theme of Fitzgeralds work is aspirational idealism. (University) The main character of The Great Gatsby, Gatsby, was a very aspirational person. He always hoped for the best when it came to Daisy. The author that wrote so eloquently about the effects of money in character was unable to manage his own finances. Gatsby always had a ridiculous amount of money. This is what Fitzgerald wished he could have. Nick on the other hand, struggled, just like Fitzgerald.
