The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald's life was tumultuous at best. He married  Zelda Sayre and it is believed that many of the women in his novels are built around Zelda's personality and attitude. He wrote  This Side of Paradise in 1920 and feared that would be what he was best remembered for....until he wrote The Great Gatsby in 1925. This is the final novel that we are reading in English 11 with a sprinkling of short stories from the realism and modernism chapters of our anthology.
