F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the greatest writers who ever lived. ... Bruccoli commented beautifully about F. Scott Fitzgerald in his work Some Sort of Epic Grandeur. ... Given the kind of writer he was, it is proper to identify Fitzgerald with his works. F. Scott Fitzgerald created his own legends. ... But is impossible to dissociate a great writer from his work, and Fitzgerald was one of the most personal authors.” (Bruccoli 1)
According to Andrew Turnbell in his biography, Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24th, 1896 at 3:30 P. ... In 1897, the Fitzgerald family moved to Buffalo, New York. The Fitzgerald’s had changed their location a few times after their initial move but in 1903, they made Buffalo their consistent home for two years (7). However, in 1902 Fitzgerald started his schooling at Miss Goodyear’s school in Syracuse before moving back to Buffalo (9). In the Summer of 1908, after Edward Fitzgerald lost his job at Procter and Gamble, the family moved back to St. ... Scott was well liked in school. Turnbell commented that, “Girls as a rule liked Fitzgerald. ... In Fitzgerald’s presence, boredom was unknown” (24)
F. Scott Fitzgerald attended Newman School for his high school education. ... Fitzgerald’s parents sent him there because they thought he needed discipline. Although Andrew Turnbell stated that, “During Spring vacation Fitzgerald went to Norfolk to visit a first cousin on his father’s side, Cecelia Taylor. Cousin “Ceci” was Fitzgerald’s favorite relative; she would be the model for the charming widow, Clara, in This Side of Paradise” (Turnbell 37).
The love of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s life, Zelda Sayre, was close to becoming eighteen when they had met.
