Analysis Of The Book ' The Night ' By F. Scott Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald began working on ‘Tender is the Night’ during the late 1920s but found it difficult as his wife Zelda’s mental illnesses and their money issues had affected him. When Zelda had her first nervous breakdown in 1930s they were living in Europe and she was hospitalized in Switzerland. It became certain that she would never recover fully. Fitzgerald's father died in 1931, which can be seen in the novel portrayed as Dick’s father’s death. Combined with his insistent alcoholism, these misfortunes and setbacks overwhelmed him. Fitzgerald had settled in suburban Baltimore by 1932, and had finally settled on what his novel was going to be about. The books plot was about a gifted young psychiatrist called Dick Diver. He marries one of his patients, Nicole Warren. Dick had virtually limitless potential and when he decides to decision to marry a woman he falls in love with who is mentally ill, he eventually descends into depression and alcoholism as their disaster-prone relationship fails. The book went through many versions and took a lot of time; the original story was to be about matricide, the act of killing ones Mother. “Such a laboured birth of his fourth novel had never been the writer’s original intention” (Blazek, 1). The book can be described as a thinly-veiled somewhat autobiographical novel due how similar the story’s main plot is to Fitzgerald’s own life. It is echoing Fitzgerald's difficulties with his wife Zelda. It also depicts the damaging effects of having

“Everybody's youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness” (Fitzgerald). Fitzgerald’s experiences from his lower class childhood shaped his obsession with material items, leading to the idea of bettering one's social status. This desire to climb the social ladder in the 1920s shaped his view of the world and how people are self-destructive. F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Beautiful and Damned, reflects his social adulthood and deteriorating marriage as well as his view of how chasing after the American Dream creates insensitive and reckless adults.

(Approximately 1 year after the eviction of the nobles), swimming in neck-high waters, Bob, gasping for air- was being approached by a floating vessel, with horrifying shrieks of cannibalistic pirates that were ready to slaughter him if they seized him. As the approaching vessel came closer and closer, he was panting harder and harder- he soon heard the shrieks louder and, louder, and with a tone that can only describes being hungry. Bob imagined in his head, the carnivorous pirates swooping him up from the dark blue voidless waters, and devouring him whole. Vulnerable in the voidless waters, Bob felt like he was in solitude,, himself swimming in a body of water bigger than he can imagine- filled with appalling, awful creatures ready to kill him. Bob recalls prior to this incident, something that led him to leave the kingdom something that would change his fate.

The mood and atmosphere in the opening of the novel is generally soothing, but when Steinbeck introduces characters and focuses on a specific time, it is more threatening. This is because the writer wishes to present the idea that humanity creates a negative impact on nature.

The mastermind behind one of America 's best and most revolutionary pieces of literature had a humble beginning. He was born on September 24, 1896 to Mary and Edward Fitzgerald of St. Paul Minnesota. As a child, the family moved back and forth between Buffalo and Syracuse New York, they were dependent on his fathers’ minimum wage jobs. Scott’s first piece of writing, a detective story, was printed in the school newspaper at age thirteen. After he graduated from high school, he choose to attend Princeton University for his higher education. However, during World War Two, to serve his country and prove his patriotism, he dropped out and joined the United States Army.

Your book reminded me of this summer when I bruised my kidneys and was out for 7 weeks and thought that I wasn’t going to be able to compete because I wouldn’t have my skills in time. This part of the book related to me the most. McKenna was having a tough time in school and was getting bad grades, and her mom and dad talked to her. The teacher always asked her if she needed help but she always said no because she told all her friends that she was getting all A’s and didn’t want to be embarrassed. So that is how your book McKenna related to

This was a short story that we had to read for school and I cried while reading it and while watching the movie. It was a fantastic story, and absolutely heartbreaking. The journal narration style was a nice element to the story and made me feel a close connection with Charlie. It is not a fast-paced novel, so it didn't contain a bunch of plot twists, but I always felt myself learning more about the issues regarding mental health and disabilities, which often get neglected in discussions of healthcare. It is a story

“....What?” Kaz looked up at Ocelot from the pile of papers that he was working on his desk.

Dilsey Gibson, a black woman, serves as a mother figure for the children and a caretaker for the rest of the family. Dilsey feels as though she really is a part of the family. However, Mrs. Compson and a grown up Jason disagree and feel that she is easily replaceable. It goes against community and identity in the South to have a black woman step out of place, and Jason feels that she does step out of place quite often. Dilsey is shown as a stabilizer when she defends Miss Quentin. Faulkner writes, “‘[Mrs. Compson] come on and lay down now,’ she said. ‘I find her in ten minutes.’ Mrs. Compson shook her off. ‘Find the note,’ she said. ‘Quentin left a note when he did it’” (283). This is showing that Dilsey can figure Mrs. Compson out and wants to protect her. She believes that Miss Quentin will come back and wants to help spare Mrs. Compson some heartache. Even though Mrs. Compson treats her poorly, she still looks out for her. I believe that at this time in the South, black people knew white people better than white people knew black people. White people could not see past the prejudice. Dilsey also stabilizes the house when she looks after Miss Quentin. For example, Dilsey says to Jason, “Well, you tend to yo business and let her lone… I’ll take keer of her ef you’n Miss Cahline’ll let me” (254). Dilsey steps in and takes charge when it comes to carrying for the children. She knows that she is one of the few people that can calm Miss Quentin down. Dilsey also takes tender

How would you feel if the harder you worked to accomplish your most far-fetched goals and to advance in society, the harder you would fall and the worse you would suffer at the end of your life? Many people of that era would have been confused or even surprised by the question when, in reality, that pattern was repeated over and over again during the 1920s. After the first World War concluded in 1919, new inventions and reformations were being made, which gave society newfound optimism. However, due to bad investments made by stockholders, the stock market crashed in 1929, sending America spiraling into a crippling depression for the next decade (“A Changing Society” 96). F. Scott Fitzgerald was the most notable author of the decade, and he was largely self-created. He spent the majority of his life devoted to writing, whether as a pastime, an occupation, or a way to prove his worthiness to the love of his life. His life was ultimately molded by the success-seeking template of the 1920s. The most famous of his works was The Great Gatsby, which brought more success, fame, and riches than he had ever encountered. Toward the end of his hedonistic life, however, Fitzgerald suffered from long spells of depression, smoked frequently, drank even more so, and wrote less and less successfully (Doreski 114). He was a true “embodiment of the age” and a prime example of the decade’s formula for success leading to failure (“The 1920s: How Normal were the 1920s?” 175). Fitzgerald’s life
