Extractions: Scott Fitzgerald Slept Here, Briefly By GARRISON KEILLOR Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul on Sept. 24, 1896, and his birthday is celebrated here because the memory of him is so vivid, though the city has never developed him as a tourist attraction. He is our brave romantic among the taciturn Scandinavians, the chronicler of those with vast hopes and not much to base them on, and when you walk under the canopy of elms through his old neighborhood, along Summit and Portland and Laurel and Goodrich Avenues, especially on a fall day, it's easy to imagine him back in the fall of 1919, with no money, living with his parents, desperately rewriting his first novel. He grew up on these streets, a slight, fair-haired boy whose family lived in a series of apartments and row houses on the periphery of great wealth and who developed a ''two-cylinder inferiority complex.'' He wrote, ''I spent my youth in alternately crawling in front of the kitchen maids and insulting the great.'' He was humiliated at football but kept trying, and wrote a story about a boy like himself, fair-haired and slender, who won the big game single-handedly for his team. Writing was how to make your way from the periphery into the center of things: he learned this when he was 11. He wrote a play called ''The Captured Shadow'' for Mrs. Backus's School for Girls, with himself playing a burglar. He put on plays in the attic of his friend Cecil Read's house, where a whole gang of children met, with Scott directing the plays and taking the leading roles.

As I am committed to educating students from a variety of learning and life backgrounds, I use varied modes of instruction and diverse types of learning materials in my courses. My goal as an instructor of English is for students to gain an understanding of the power of languagenot merely a contemplative understanding, but an understanding that will be instrumental in their work and personal lives.

ClassicNotes: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Full summary and analysis of The Great Gatsby by F. scott fitzgerald writtenby Harvard students. F. scott fitzgerald. Biography of F. scott fitzgerald.
http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Authors/about_f_scott_fitzgerald.html

Extractions: Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, the only son of an aristocratic father and a provincial, working-class mother. He was therefore the product of two divergent traditions: while his father's family included the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (after whom Fitzgerald was named), his mother's family was, in Fitzgerald's own words, "straight 1850 potato-famine Irish." As a result of this contrast, he was exceedingly ambivalent about the notion of the American dream: for him, it was at once vulgar and dazzlingly promising. It need scarcely be noted that such fascinated ambivalence is itself typically American. Like the central character of The Great Gatsby , Fitzgerald had an intensely romantic imagination; he once called it "a heightened sensitivity to the promises of life." The events of Fitzgerald's own life can be seen as a struggle to realize those promises. He attended both St. Paul Academy (1908-10) and Newman School (1911-13), where his intensity and outsize enthusiasms made him extremely unpopular with the other students. Later, at Princeton University, he came close to the brilliant success of which he dreamed. He became part of the influential Triangle Club, a dramatic organization whose members were taken from the cream of high society. He also became a prominent figure in the literary life of the university and made lifelong friendships with Edmund Wilson and John Peale Bishop. Despite these social coups, Fitzgerald struggled academically, and eventually flunked out of Princeton.
Great Neck Online | Great Neck & The Great Gatsby
of F. scott fitzgerald and Great Neck.
http://www.westegg.com/greatneck/gatsby.cgi

Extractions: As everyone who lives in Great Neck knows, F. Scott Fitzgerald lived in Great Neck, at six Gateway Drive in Great Neck Estates probably the Great Neck's greatest claim to fame. He lived here, in the 1920s, in a modest house, not dis-similar to that of Nick, the protagonist of his novel, The Great Gatsby . It is said that Fitzgerald modeled West Egg the fictional town in which Nick lives, next to the mansion of Jay Gatsby, the epitome of Nouveau Riche gaudiness after his own Great Neck and the atmosphere and lifestyle there; and he modeled East Egg, the town where Daisy and Tom live, after Great Neck's eastern neighbor, Port Washington, or, more specifically, Sands Point. Fitzgerald's description of West Egg is the perfect summary of Great Neck, both then and now; some things just don't change. The home of the New Money what has changed is who the New Money is and their showy mansions and late-night galas; the minute drive before entering the still run-down Queens; the magnificent view across the Sound to Connecticut. Here's Fitzgerald giving a physical description Great Neck, umm, West Egg. It was a matter of chance that I should have rented a house in one of the strangest communities in North America. It was on that slender riotous island which extends itself due east of New York and where there are, among other natural curiosities, two unusual formations of land. Twenty miles from the city a pair of enormous eggs, identical in contour and separated only by a courtesy bay, jut out into the most domesticated body of salt water in the Western hemisphere, the great wet barnyard of Long Island Sound. They are not perfect ovals like egg in the Columbus story, they are both crushed flat at the contact end but their physical resemblance must be a source of perpetual wonder to the gulls that fly overhead. To the windless a more interesting phenomenon is their dissimilarity in every particular except shape and size.

Extractions: Born into a fairly well-to-do family in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896 Fitzgerald attended, but never graduated from Princeton University. Here he mingled with the monied classes from the Eastern Seaboard who so obsessed him for the rest of his life. In 1917 he was drafted into the army, but he never saw active service abroad. Instead, he spent much of his time writing and re-writing his first novel This Side of Paradise, which on its publication in 1920 became an instant success. In the same year he married the beautiful Zelda Sayre and together they embarked on a rich life of endless parties. Dividing their time between America and fashionable resorts in Europe, the Fitzgeralds became as famous for their lifestyle as for the novels he wrote. Fitzgerald once said 'Sometimes I don't know whether Zelda and I are real or whether we are characters in one of my novels'. He followed his first success with The Beautiful and the Damned (1922), and

Extractions: Fitzgerald, F. Scott Fitzgerald, F. Scott (Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald), Born of middle-class parents, Fitzgerald attended private schools, entering Princeton in 1913. He was placed on academic probation in his junior year, and in 1917 he left Princeton to join the army. While stationed in Montgomery, Ala., he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre, the daughter of a local judge. During this time, he also began working on his first novel, This Side of Paradise, which describes life at Princeton among the glittering, bored, and disillusioned, postwar generation. Published in 1920, the novel was an instant success and brought Fitzgerald enough money to marry Zelda that same year. The young couple moved to New York City, where they became notorious for their madcap lifestyle. Fitzgerald made money by writing stories for various magazines. In 1922 he published his second novel

Extractions: GranBaol FIUMI DI HOLLYWOOD BENEDETTA ROSSI Francis Scott Fitzgerald lasciò e ritornò continuamente ad Hollywood all'inseguimento delle proprie necessità e dei sogni di una vita estrema immersa nella grandezza della sua arte. Il 21 dicembre del 1940, nellappartamento di Sheila Graham, a Hollywood, muore, per un improvviso attacco di cuore, alletà di 44 anni, Francis Scott Fitzgerald. Quel giorno il mondo della cultura ha subito una grave perdita ma, come spesso accade per coloro che si avvicinano alla genialità, se ne è reso conto assai più tardi. Ed è molto curioso che la vita di Fitzgerald si sia spenta proprio in quel luogo, la spietata Hollywood, che sia da vivo che, successivamente alla sua morte, ha riconosciuto così poco il suo grande talento. Fitzgerald ha inseguito Hollywood come i personaggi dei suoi romanzi inseguivano i loro sogni improbabili, sapendo già dallinizio che , in qualche modo, erano destinati a non realizzarli mai. Dopo la sua morte, lunico riconoscimento che gli viene da Hollywood è la rappresentazione cinematografica di "

F. scott fitzgerald (18961940), fitzgerald was friends with the noted criticEdmund Wilson while both were students at Princeton University.
http://www.malaspina.com/site/person_477.asp

Extractions: Fitzgerald was friends with the noted critic Edmund Wilson while both were students at Princeton University. Wilson was enormously well-read, and when Fitzgerald told him that Fitzgerald hoped to become one of the great writers, Wilson was shocked and thought he meant to be as good as Homer and Dante and Shakespeare . Actually, Fitzgerald was thinking of Booth Tarkington. Fitzgerald was the author of The Great Gatsby as well as other novels and short stories. The Great Gatsby is his one great novel. His wife, Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, was also a writer. His latter years were beset with financial worries, and his wife's increasing insanity. He died in Hollywood in 1940 whilst working as a screenwriter, a profession he hated. [Adapted from Wikipedia Browse
