F. Scott Fitzgerald’s works were greatly influenced by the events that took place in his marriage; from the beginning of his marriage, through the hardships the couple faced, and towards the end of their short lives, his writings illustrate the journey through their unique relationship. Fitzgerald’s professional writing career did not officially begin until Zelda became a part of his life. While in the army, Fitzgerald spent most of his time writing his first novel, The Romantic Egoist, which was a representation of “postwar disillusionment of the generation”, telling of a young man that could be said is Fitzgerald himself during his undergraduate years in college (Oxford). While stationed at Camp Sheridan near Montgomery, Alabama, in the summer of 1918, he met Zelda Sayre at a country club and was captivated by her. (Rompalske). Upon release from the army, Fitzgerald proposed to Sayre, however, she declined until he was able to prove to her that he could support her and a future family. Postponing the release of his novel, he began to write and sell short stories because he knew Sayre would not wait (Rompalske). However, this was not enough for Sayre or himself; he knew in order to win her over, he needed to write a successful novel. He moved back to his parents’ house in St. Paul and began to rework on The Romantic Egoist, which would soon become This Side of Paradise. In March of 1920, Charles Scribner’s Sons published This Side of Paradise, selling out within the first

As Florence King once said, “People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they're all asleep at the switch. This quote symbolizes the simple fact that the American Dream is impossible for someone to ever attain because people are to busy dreaming about what others have, that they fail to recognize what they themselves already have attained. The American author F. Scott Fitzgerald has had an unprecedented impact on America. His novels contain recurring themes that establish the facets of modern American society with which he avidly disagrees. His characters Jay Gatsby and Armory Blaine both portray men in American society who have through

Scott Fitzgerald was most famous his personal life and The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota. His mother, Mary McQuillan, was from an Irish-Catholic family who made a small fortune as grocers. His father, Edward Fitzgerald, opened a wicker furniture business, but it started to fail, which allowed him to become a salesman for Proctor and Gamble which resulted in an unwanted move to Buffalo and Syracuse. He began a career in writing novels. His first novel published was “This Side of Paradise” where he got glowing reviews.

Born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (more commonly known as F. Scott Fitzgerald) became widely known as one of the greatest American authors. Fitzgerald wrote both novels and short stories, mainly set in the Jazz age. Many influences to his writing came from his own personal life and the world he saw around him. His wife, Zelda, was one of the major influences seen within many of his works. Fitzgerald encompasses many of these things in his books The Great Gatsby and Tender is the night. Letting his own life experiences and insight guide his writing, Fitzgerald explores the effect of social hierarchy on society amidst the Roaring Twenties through his use of evocative, colorful imagery and eloquent use of underlying tone.
Scott Fitzgerald grew up in a poor family and didn’t want to end up like his parents who he saw as failures. He was taught to act like a gentleman and eventually got accepted into an Ivy League school. When he got there he was blinded by visions of every one loving him and wanted to be well known and loved by them all. The duration of his college days was spent partying and writing plays. After college he decided to join the war. One night he attended a dance for soldiers and met a girl there. He was certain he fell in love with her on the spot and was crazy over her to the point where he was almost obsessed. This girl was wealthy unlike he was, and eventually her father made them break up because in his mind “rich girls don’t marry poor boys”. Fitzgerald was completely distraught over the break up and missed her dearly. He kept all her letters to him and made them into a little makeshift book. He was later deported to Alabama to begin training, and just as his regiment was to be shipped out, the war ended. He was never able to fight and that upset him, but he still imagined himself a war hero nonetheless. He met a girl in Alabama named Zelda and fell in love with her and married her. They had one child
The couple later got married on April 3, 1920 in St. Patrick Cathedral, located in New York. A little over a year later He and his wife had a child named Frances (Doreski). Fitzgerald lived more by his feelings than his morals (Doreski). He and his wife, Zelda, would throw extravagant parties which put the couple in financial hardship early on. Sometimes these parties would even last 4 days in a row (Shain). Because of all the partying and choice of lifestyle, Zelda developed a mental disorder and had her first mental breakdown in 1930. Fitzgerald wrote short stories to pay for his wife’s treatments. However, he is best known for his works This Side of Paradise, from which he gained his wealth, and The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald’s most popular work (Coale 190). This Side of Paradise was his first autobiographical novel. The book is based on Fitzgerald’s childhood and portrays him as a young boy who is ready for his exciting life to begin (Shain). After it was published, Fitzgerald became rich quickly. Following Zelda’s hospitalization, he wrote the book Tender is the Night. The book was centered on a wealthy psychiatrist and his unstable wife (Bruccoli). By this

F. Scott Fitzgerald is in many ways one of the most notable writers of the twentieth century. His prodigious literary voice and style provides remarkable insight into the lifestyles of the rich and famous, as well as himself. Exploring themes such as disillusionment, coming of age, and the corruption of the American Dream, Fitzgerald based most of his subject matter on his own despicable, tragic life experiences. Although he was thought to be the trumpeter of the Jazz Age, he never directly identified himself with it and was adverse to many of its manifestations.
Over the years many requests have been made for new regulations pertaining to the “waters of the United States”, adopted in 1986 under the Clean Water Act (Clean Water Rule, 2015, p. 165). Advocating change were “members of Congress, developers, farmers, state and local governments, energy companies, and many others requested new regulations to make the process of identifying waters protected under the CWA clearer, simpler, and faster” (Clean Water Rule, 2015, p.13). In response to these requests the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers published the “Clean Water Rule: Definition of “Waters of the United States” federal regulation (80 Fed. Reg. 37054) on June 29, 2015 (Clean Water Rule, 2015, p.13).
