The Great Gatsby

- His work reflects his relationships with his wife Zelda.
- His characters epitomize the Jazz Age.
- Great Gatsby is about man's obsession with money, power, knowledge, and hope.
- In the book Tender is the Night, Nicole Driver was bodled after Zelda.
- Him and his wife traveled all over the world.
- Zelda had a nervous breakdown and was in and out of therapy in Switzerland.
- Zelda moved back to Montgomery with her mom in 1940 because of all her heath problems and the same year, Fitzgerald had a heart-attack. A month later he died of a second heart-attack.

- I think the quote means that you should write of the younger generation because that is who will be wanting to read your books first, then write about what the critics like, then anything after that.

- First Radio broadcast
- 19th ammendment
