F. Scott Fitzgerald is the author of The Great Gatsby. The Great Gatsby was one of the
most famous books that he has ever written. That book was dedicated to his wife Zelda and one
of the main characters, Daisy in The Great Gatsby is supposed to be her. Fitzgerald was born on
September 24, 1896 and he died of a heart attack on December 21, 1940. The Love of the Last
Tycoon was the last book he ever wrote before he died. Fitzgerald was an alcoholic, and his wife
Zelda suffered a relapse in February of 1932 and stayed the rest of her life in sanitariums until
she died in a fire at Highland Hospital in 1948. Fitzgerald's real name is Francis Scott Key
Fitzgerald and he was born in Minnesota and died in Hollywood, California. His parent's names
were Edward and Mary. F. Scott Fitzgerald was also in the army, and he joined in 1917 and
became a liutenant in the infantry. He was very famous and was is one of the best writers of his
time. He spent alot of his life living in hotels and he and Zelda spent all their money every time
they got it. The book The Great Gatsby is based off of their love because when Fitzgerald was
young he joined in the army but he discharged from it and he went off to go make a fortune in
order for Zelda to marry him, but she couldn't wait so she broke off the engagement because she
couldn't wait and because he was poor and she couldn't live that way. So Fitzgerald went off to
become rich in order to get her love back and so that they could marry just like Jay Gatsby and
Daisy.
