Who Is Fitzgerald's Writing Style Of The Great Gatsby

Many items and events in a person’s life can and will influence their writing style that they use. Every writer and every author has a different story and a different background. Many are similar but never will there be two writers who have experienced the same experiences in their life. Their books are physical representations of their own life and their own feelings. Many will subtly imply many of their own feelings and own experiences into their books and poems. Fitzgerald is not any different for he has his own story for his writing style of his works. Fitzgerald’s childhood financial background family and also his alcoholic addiction influenced him enough to include and to imply them into his book the great Gatsby through the actions traits

He always dreamt of marrying a rich girl and even in his younger years started to date a girl named Ginevra. She came from a rich family and almost was liked a real life daisy from the book. she was beautiful and she was rich and Fitzgerald loved everything about her, but eventually Fitzgerald lost her and her father even told him that “poor boys should not go after rich girls” In the great Gatsby we see that Gatsby went from rags to riches and wanted nothing but the wealthy daisy. As we see in the book Gatsby was more obsessed about daisy’s wealth more than he was with her personality. Gatsby lusted after daisy even to the point of faking so much and keeping so many secrets from everyone. Gatsby even ran away from home in search for the wealth. This is very similar to Fitzgerald and Ginevra. He wanted her because of her wealth and money, but he did not want her because of who she was. Gatsby’s character is almost exactly Fitzgerald put into a book. We see from this example that the financial standing of Fitzgerald had an impact on his writing style enough to put a character that represented him into the great

He later was married to Zelda Fitzgerald in 1920. They stayed married until Fitzgerald’s death in December 21, 1940. Zelda and Scott were very much alike in many ways but however in some ways they differentiated between one another. He was an alcoholic but she was not, although she did drink every now and then. However his drinking got the best of him and even lead him down the road of debt. They fell deep into debt and to get rid of the stress and worries of everything Scott drank and drank more. His alcohol was a way for him to escape the responsibilities of the real world and he used it almost like a drug as he became more and more addicted to it. When he finally sobered up he realized that he must figure a way out of debt while at the same time being able to drink because it was what he enjoyed to do. He figured out that he could write himself out of debt by writing while he was sober but then dink after he had written. As we see in the great Gatsby, nick who is not much of a drinker, decides to drink till he is completely wasted. I believe he did this because he saw that in the near future that many worries and stress would be placed upon him from the situation and people that he was involved in. he drank to prevent responsibilities from being placed upon him. This is another example of how Fitzgerald put himself into his books and how that his own life
