F. Scott Fitzgerald







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.
