    The Great Fitz F. Scott Fitzgerald is praised for giving the emerging generation a voice that no one else could capture. He wrote mainly off of personal experiences which gave him a special angel that showed the struggles of the new society of the 20’s. His works perfectly show how he gave a little twist to his own experiences and gave a very personal view on the new society. His works “A Winters Dream”, “The Rich Boy”, and “A Diamond as Big as The Ritz” perfectly exemplify how he differed from other writers in this time period and why he has stayed relevant and growing in popularity in the last 100 years.

Lori asked me" (29). When young Jeannette answers affirmatively with great enthusiasm, Lori nonchalantly agrees.

  • The Great Gatsby And The Things They Carried

    This left Gatsby constantly desiring more and more until he simply couldn’t achieve any more but still tried to and ultimately lost everything because of it. This interpretation serves to act as a part to the whole in that this book like every other book I read, looked to attack a certain aspect of society that was found to be flawed and in this case, it looked to attack the constant taunting by society to the individual to constantly push for a better life rather than being satisfied with one’s own life. Another example of this theme of attacking the faults in society through literature was through The Things They Carried. The Things They Carried followed the lives of a squadron of U.S soldiers fighting in Vietnam and took note of both the physical and more importantly the mental weight they had to carry throughout the conflict. The soldiers were forced to fight for their lives and in order to support their country, as well as the hope of seeing their families again.

  • The Great Gatsby Similes Analysis

    352 Words  | 2 Pages

    F Scott Fitzgerald's use of similes are notable as they increase our visual concept of the meaning behind his words. Fitzgerald's similes are not only notable by themselves but they also introduce the reader to the power similes hold to writing, more evident than in any other authors writing . In chapter four the simile “ … Who always gathered in a corner and flipped up their noses like goats at whosoever came near” (Fitzgerald 61) paints a tremendous picture in the reader's mind. It introduces the thought that higher class men look down at the lesser class men whenever they try to interact with them because they think they are better then them. But Fitzgerald uses his simile to mask this message to the compartment of goats which is easy for us to envision, and really get the point of what he is trying to say across to us with little effort.
