Article abstract: With a poetic style and an insight into the lure of and the fallacies within the American Dream, Fitzgerald created some of the most distinctively American fiction.
Early Life
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota. His father, Edward Fitzgerald, was a furniture manufacturer, and his mother, Mollie McQuillan Fitzgerald, the daughter of a wealthy St. Paul businessman. After Edward Fitzgerald's business failed in 1898, he became a wholesale grocery salesman for Procter and Gamble in Buffalo, New York. Edward was transferred to Syracuse, New York, in 1901 (when Scott's sister Annabel was born) and back to Buffalo in 1903 before losing his job in 1908. The family then returned to St. Paul to live off the money Mollie had inherited from her father.
Edward Fitzgerald, who had cowritten a novel when he was young, read from the works of George Gordon, Lord Byron and Edgar Allan Poe to his son and praised the boy's attempts at writing, but he hoped that Scott would become an army officer. Mollie did not encourage his literary interests and wanted him to be a successful businessman like her father, to make up for Edward's failure and to live up to the illustrious ancestors on his father's side of the family, a long line of wealthy Maryland landowners, politicians, and lawyers. (Francis Scott Key was a distant relative.)

Biography (Novels for Students)
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, or F. Scott Fitzgerald, is considered one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century, particularly of the 1920s era known as the "Jazz Age." The debauchery of his characters' lives and their obsession with material wealth echoed the indulgent and tumultuous life he led with his wife, Zelda, and their group of expatriate friends.
Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on September 24, 1896, to Edward Fitzgerald and Mary McQuillan Fitzgerald, both of whom were middleclass Catholics. He attended various private schools and entered Princeton in 1913, where he neglected his studies and concentrated on extracurricular writing for various literary journals and theatrical groups.
After being put on academic probation in 1917, Fitzgerald left Princeton to join the army. In 1918, he was stationed in Montgomery, Alabama, where he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre, daughter of a state supreme court judge and one of the most celebrated debutantes of the town, notorious for her fiery spirit and unpredictable escapades. The couple wed in 1920, the same year that his first novel, This Side of Paradise, was published by Charles Scribner's Sons to great financial success.
The Fitzgeralds moved to New York City, where Scott worked as a writer for various magazines, most notably the Saturday Evening Post. They quickly became known for their wild, indulgent lifestyle,...

Biography (Critical Survey of Short Fiction, Second Revised Edition)
F. Scott Fitzgerald was educated at St. Paul Academy and at the Newman School in Hackensack, New Jersey. While attending Princeton University he wrote for the Princeton Tiger and Nassau Literary Magazine. He left Princeton without a degree, joined the army, and was stationed near Montgomery, Alabama, where he met Zelda Sayre. In 1920, they were married in New York City before moving to Westport, Connecticut. Their only child, Frances Scott Fitzgerald, was born in 1921. In the mid-1920's the Fitzgeralds traveled extensively between the United States and Europe, meeting Ernest Hemingway in Paris in 1925. The decade of the 1930's was a bleak one for the Fitzgeralds; Zelda had several emotional breakdowns and Scott sank into alcoholism. They lived variously in Montgomery and on the Turnbull estate outside Baltimore. Fitzgerald went to Hollywood for the second time in 1931. After that they lived for a time in Asheville, North Carolina, where Zelda was hospitalized and where Fitzgerald wrote the Crack-up essays for Esquire. In 1937, Fitzgerald met Sheila Graham while he was living in Hollywood and writing under contract to MGM. He began writing The Last Tycoon in 1939 and died, before it was completed, on December 21, 1940, at the age of forty-four.

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on September 24, 1896. His mother's side of the family (the McQuillans) was what Fitzgerald referred to as "straight 1850 potato famine Irish," but by the time of his maternal grandfather's death at the age of forty-four, the McQuillan fortune, earned in the grocery business, was in excess of $300,000. Fitzgerald's father was a poor but well-bred descendant of the old Maryland Scott and Key families. Always an ineffectual businessman, Edward Fitzgerald had met Mary McQuillan when he arrived in St. Paul to open a wicker furniture business, which shortly went out of business. In search of a job by which he could support the family, Edward Fitzgerald moved his family from St. Paul to Buffalo, New York, in 1898, then to Syracuse and back to Buffalo. When Fitzgerald was eleven years old, he moved with his family back to St. Paul and the security of the McQuillan wealth.
With McQuillan money, Fitzgerald was sent (for two painfully lonely years) to the private Newman School in Hackensack, New Jersey. Discovering there a flair for writing musical comedy, Fitzgerald decided that he would attend Princeton University, whose Triangle Club produced a musical comedy each year. At Princeton, Fitzgerald compensated for his feelings of social inferiority by excelling in the thing he did best, writing for the Triangle Club and the Nassau Literary Magazine. During a Christmas vacation spent in...

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald is considered one of the three most important American authors (along with Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner) who wrote between the two world wars. On his father's side he was a descendant of the Scotts and the Keys who produced Francis Scott Key, the distinguished lawyer who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner." Fitzgerald's father, Edward Fitzgerald, was unable to hold a steady job; his mother was the eccentric and powerful Mary McQuillan, whose father had left her a million-dollar grocery business and a substantial personal fortune.
Fitzgerald's childhood was a pampered one—though somewhat unstable, owing to frequent moves—and included two years at the St. Paul Academy (where he published his first short story in 1909) and two years at a Catholic boarding school in Hackensack, New Jersey. He enrolled at Princeton University in 1913, after failing and then retaking the entrance examinations, and left Princeton in 1917 without receiving a degree. Commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army that year, he met Zelda Sayre while on duty outside Montgomery, Alabama, in the summer of 1918.
Many short stories that he wrote in 1919 were rejected, but a first novel, This Side of Paradise, based on his life at Princeton, was published in 1920, the same year he and Zelda were married....

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, one of the most talented of American writers, was born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota. His father, Edward, was unsuccessful in a variety of enterprises, and the family moved numerous times until Fitzgerald's mother inherited sufficient money for them to settle in one of the more exclusive neighborhoods of St. Paul. Even as a young boy, Fitzgerald was acutely aware that his mother, rather than his father, provided the financial foundation of the family. It was a situation—a wife's inherited money—that was to recur frequently in his writing.
In 1911, Fitzgerald entered Newman School, a Catholic institution in Hackensack, New Jersey. It was there that he decided upon Princeton University as the ideal college, thus beginning one strand that would run throughout his writing, especially in his earlier works and his popular first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920), with its collegiate setting.
It was also at Newman that Fitzgerald met and was encouraged in his literary ambitions by Father Sigourney Fay, a priest who became one of the most important influences upon Fitzgerald's development. Father Fay strengthened the young Fitzgerald's sense of a noble character as an essential element in achieving high goals—and of the accompanying dangers of anything that would weaken that...

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Fitzgerald was an acute social observer and an incomparable stylist. His central concern was with the individual whose promise is destroyed by an uncaring or hostile world, a destruction made possible by some inherent flaw in an otherwise noble nature. Fitzgerald's writings all have this viewpoint, which can best be described as romantic moralism.
Immensely popular with his first novel, highly successful with his short stories, and critically acclaimed for his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald has come to be recognized as one of American literature's premier authors and the creator of some of its most memorable and individual characters. Although his work is clearly a product of and a reflection of its time, Fitzgerald's best efforts transcend that specific period to become universal.

Biography (Short Stories for Students)
F. Scott Fitzgerald (Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald) was born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota, to a businessman and an heiress. His desire to become a writer crystallized early and remained a driving force throughout his life. Regarded as the preeminent writer of the Jazz Age, Fitzgerald created characters and stories of youth, love, excess, eccentricity, and style. During his lifetime, his success was based on his standing as a niche writer. It was not until after his death that his writing was appreciated and placed among the American greats.
By the time Fitzgerald entered Princeton University in 1913, he had already begun to develop his writing skills. His work for school newspapers and theater groups had exposed him to various types of writing. At Princeton he wrote for a literary magazine, a humor magazine, and a performance club. He put in so much effort on such activities, however, that he could not keep up with his schoolwork, and he left Princeton in 1916. His return a year later was interrupted by enlistment in the U.S. Army during World War I.
Upon leaving the military in 1919, Fitzgerald worked briefly as an advertising copywriter while he revised his first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920). Things moved fast as he enjoyed acclaim for his novel and promptly married Zelda Sayre. Later that year, his first collection of short stories, Flappers and Philosophers, was published. Over the course of his career,...

Biography (Short Stories for Students)
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in September, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota, the son of an entrepreneur and salesman and his wife, a distant cousin of Francis Scott Key, author of ''The Star-Spangled Banner,'' for whom he was named. He displayed an interest in writing early on and in 1911, he moved to New Jersey to attend the Newman College Preparatory School. Two years later he entered Princeton University, and in 1917 he received a commission as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Hoping to eventually see combat in World War I Fitzgerald was assigned to Camp Sheridan in Montgomery, Alabama, where he met Zelda Sayre, the daughter of an Alabama supreme court justice. He was smitten by Zelda's charm, but was forced to turn his attention fully toward earning a living as a writer. Fitzgerald sold his first short story in 1919, and in September of that year Scribner's accepted his first novel, This Side of Paradise, for publication. It immediately became a financial and critical success, and Fitzgerald was suddenly a literary figure of national prominence.
Having achieved success as a writer, Fitzgerald resumed his courtship of Zelda Sayre, and they married in 1920. Their only child, a daughter named Scottie, was born in 1921. That same year, the Fitzgeralds undertook the first of several extended trips to Europe. On one such trip in 1925, Fitzgerald met aspiring novelist Ernest Hemingway whose career and work he championed until Hemingway's own fame and Fitzgerald's troubled personal life weakened their friendship. Fitzgerald's second novel, The Beautiful and Damned, was published to mixed critical reviews in 1922. Three years later, he published The Great Gatsby, his most popular and admired work, though it received several disappointing reviews upon publication, which discouraged him deeply. Although Fitzgerald had begun drinking heavily at Princeton, he became severely alcoholic in the mid 1920s, and his drinking, combined with his expensive tastes and Zelda's mental instability, began to seriously affect his health, finances, and productivity. After Gatsby in 1925, for example, he did not publish another novel until Tender Is the Night in 1934. The bulk of his income came from advances sent by his legendary editor at Scribner's, Maxwell Perkins, and from the sale of his short stories to high-paying magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post and Esquire. Between 1919 and 1939 he sold 160 stories, primarily to pay his bills and thus buy him small windows of time to work on his novels.
Desperate for income to support his lifestyle and psychologically taxed by Zelda's treatment at mental sanitariums, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood in 1937 to work as a screenwriter for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studios. Although he saw only one of his screenplays produced as a finished film, he continued to work on film treatments, short stories, and his last major work, the unfinished novel The Last Tycoon, until he died of a heart attack in December of 1940. In a posthumous collection of confessional Esquire pieces, The Crack-Up, Fitzgerald succinctly offered his own harsh epitaph for his last years: "Then I was drunk for many years, and then I died.''
Many autobiographical details shaped the content of ''Babylon Revisited.'' Like Charlie Wale's daughter Honoria, Fitzgerald's only child, Scottie (who was also nicknamed ''Pie''), was about nine years old at the time of the story's composition, and, like Charlie, Fitzgerald was confronted with the problem of Scottie's custody after Zelda's mental instability began to accelerate in 1930. Also like Charlie, Fitzgerald was also a prosperous Irish-American expatriate, and, as the evocative description of 1930 Paris in the story suggests, Fitzgerald was also intimately familiar with such Parisian landmarks as the Hotel Ritz, Josephine Baker's nude revue, and the club scene and restaurants of Paris nightlife. Most centrally, however, Fitzgerald, like Charlie, also wrestled painfully with his alcoholism, and his skillful evocation of the self-delusions and strategies Charlie adopts to convince himself of his rehabilitation were drawn directly from Fitzgerald's lifelong struggle with heavy drinking. Charlie's pre-1929 Paris escapades, alluded to throughout "Babylon Revisited''—squandered money, bitter marital disputes, and alcohol-fueled decline—are sharply autobiographical. Fitzgerald biographer Matthew Bruccoli has also pointed out that the baleful Marion Peters, Charlie's sister-in-law, was "obviously" based on Fitzgerald's own sister-in-law, Zelda's older sister Rosalind Smith, who questioned Fitzgerald's ability to raise Scottie properly.

- List of Major Works
F. Scott Fitzgerald was an American novelist and short-story writer of the Roaring Twenties. Since his early work shows a romantic feeling for "the promises of life" at college and in "The East," he acquired the epithet "the spokesman of the Jazz Age." His first novel, This Side of Paradise, was the first American novel to deal with college undergraduate life in the World War I era. A handsome and charming man, Fitzgerald was quickly adopted by the young generation of his time. His second novel, The Beautiful and the Damned, is a lively but shallow book, but his third, The Great Gatsby, is one of the most penetrating descriptions of American life in the 1920s.
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on September 24, 1896 F. Scott Fitzgerald was the son of Edward Fitzgerald, who worked for Proctor and Gamble and brought his family to Buffalo and Syracuse, New York, for most of his son's first decade. Edward Fitzgerald's great-great-grandfather was the brother of the grandfather of Francis Scott Key, who wrote the poem "The Star-Spangled Banner." This fact was of great significance to Mrs. Fitzgerald, Mollie McQuillan, and later to Scott. Mollie Fitzgerald's own family could offer no pretensions to aristocracy, but her father, an Irish immigrant who came to America in 1843, was a self-made businessman. Equally important was Fitzgerald's sense of having come from two widely different Celtic strains. He had early on developed an inferiority complex in a family where the "black Irish half … had the money and looked down on the Maryland side of the family who had, and really had … 'breeding,'" according to Scott Donaldson in the Dictionary of Literary Biography. Out of this divergence of classes in his family background arose what critics called F. Scott's "double vision." He had the ability to experience the lifestyle of the wealthy from an insider's perspective, yet never felt a part of this clique and always felt the outsider.
As a youth, Fitzgerald revealed a flair for dramatics, first in St. Paul, where he wrote original plays for amateur production, and later at The Newman Academy in Hackensack, New Jersey. At Princeton, he composed lyrics for the university's famous Triangle Club productions. Fitzgerald was also a writer and actor with the Triangle Club at college. Before he could graduate, he volunteered for the army during World War I. He spent the weekends writing the earliest drafts of his first novel. The work was accepted for publication in 1919 by Charles Scribner's Sons. The popular and financial success that accompanied this event enabled Fitzgerald to marry Zelda Sayre, whom he met at training camp in Alabama. Zelda played a pivotal role in the writer's life, both in a tempestuous way and an inspirational one. Mostly, she shared his extravagant lifestyle and artistic interests. In the 1930s she was diagnosed as a schizophrenic and was hospitalized in Switzerland and then Maryland, where she died in a fire.
For some time, Fitzgerald lived with his wife in Long Island. There, the setting for The Great Gatsby, he entertained in a manner similar to his characters, with expensive liquors and entertainment. He revelled in demonstrating the antics of the crazy, irresponsible rich, and carried this attitude wherever he went. Especially on the Riviera in France the Fitzgeralds befriended the elite of the cultural world and wealthy classes, only to offend most of them in some way by their outrageous behavior. Self-absorbed, drunk, and eccentric, they sought and received attention of all kinds. The party ended with the hospitalization of Zelda for schizophrenia in Prangins, a Swiss clinic, and, coincidentally, with the Great Depression of 1929, which tolled the start of Scott's personal depression.
In the decade before his death, Fitzgerald's troubles and the debilitating effects of his alcoholism limited the quality and amount of his writing. Nonetheless, it was also during this period that he attempted his most psychologically complex and aesthetically ambitious novel, Tender Is the Night (1934). After Zelda's breakdown, Fitzgerald became romantically involved with Sheila Graham, a gossip columnist in Hollywood, during the last years of his life. He also wrote but did not finish the novel The Last Tycoon, now considered to be one of his best works, about the Hollywood motion picture industry. Fitzgerald died suddenly of a heart attack, most likely induced by a long addiction to alcohol, on December 21, 1940. At the time of his death, he was virtually forgotten and unread. A growing Fitzgerald revival, begun in the 1950s, led to the publication of numerous volumes of stories, letters, and notebooks. One of his literary critics, Stephen Vincent Benet, concluded in his review of The Last Tycoon, "You can take off your hats now, gentlemen, and I think perhaps you had better. This is not a legend, this is a reputation—and, seen in perspective, it may well be one of the most secure reputations of our time."

Major Works
This Side of Paradise (1920)
Fitzgerald's debut novel, an exuberant, semi-autobiographical coming of age story, recounts the romantic and social adventures of the sensitive and vain Amory Blaine. It was considered a guidebook for rebellious youth of the twenties.
The Beautiful and Damned (1923)
The Beautiful and Damned recalls the personal history of a wealthy, attractive young man, Anthony Patch, and his beautiful, selfish wife Gloria. From pampered childhood to alcoholic, debt-ridden decline, Fitzgerald explores the corruptive influences of money.
The Great Gatsby (1925)
His third and best novel, The Great Gatsby is considered one of the most important works in American literature. Gatsby tells the story of a self-made millionaire and the tragic pursuit of his lost love.
Tender is the Night (1934)
Set in Europe, Tender is the Night traces the decline of a brilliant American psychiatrist, Dick Diver, during the course of his marriage to a wealthy mental patient.
The Last Tycoon (1941)
Fitzgerald's fifth novel, unfinished at the time of his death, promised to be his finest work. It tells the story of the heroic movie producer, Monroe Stahr, and his struggle for artistic integrity against the money-obsessed influences of Hollywood.
Fitzgerald wrote over 160 short stories, including "The Rich Boy," "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz," "May Day," "Babylon Revisited" and "Financing Finnegan." Excerpted letters to his daughter were published in 1945 as The Crack-Up.
Biography (Short Stories for Students)
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Edward and Mary McQuillan Fitzgerald. From his father, a businessman, he inherited his predisposition for alcoholism and his romantic imagination; from his mother, an heiress, he developed an attraction to wealth, all of which would become major themes in his work. At a young age, Fitzgerald expressed an interest and a talent in writing as he began to write stories that echoed ones from popular magazines. The school magazines at St. Paul Academy and Newman School, where he attended school, published several of his short stories. Every summer from 1911 to 1914 he wrote plays that neighborhood children performed for charity groups.
He entered Princeton in 1913, where he wrote short stories, poetry, plays, and book reviews for the Nassau Literary Magazine and the Princeton Tiger, and wrote plays for the school's shows. His concentration on writing took him away from his studies, and as a result, he left in January, 1916. He returned a year later but never finished his degree. When World War I broke out, he was appointed second lieutenant in the army, although he never served overseas. During his stint in the army, he completed a draft of a novel, The Romantic Egotist. Scribner's publishers did not accept the manuscript, but they suggested that he continue working on it.
While stationed in Montgomery, Alabama, he met Zelda Sayre, daughter of an Alabama Supreme Court judge. He soon fell in love with the beautiful but troubled Zelda and married her. Their life together would come to epitomize the excitement and tragedy of the Jazz Age, as often fictionalized in his work.
After his discharge in 1919, he returned to St. Paul determined to be, as he told a friend, one of the greatest writers who has ever lived. He began his literary career with a rewrite of The Romantic Egotist, renaming it as This Side of Paradise, which was accepted by Scribner's. The novel was well received by critics and the public, who applauded its accurate portrait of American society in the 1920s. In December 1922 Metropolitan Magazine published ''Winter Dreams,'' which was later included in his collection of short stories, All The Sad Young Men in 1926. The collection was a popular and critical success, cementing Fitzgerald's reputation as a chronicler of the destructive nature of the American dream.
Fitzgerald's subsequent novels and short stories were well received, but his and Zelda's extravagant lifestyle kept him constantly in debt. Eventually, Zelda would be hospitalized for mental illness and Fitzgerald would suffer a breakdown. At the end of his career, with few copies of his works being sold, he turned to script writing in Hollywood, where he worked on, among others, the script for Gone with the Wind. He died there of a heart attack, probably brought on by his alcoholism, on December 21, 1940.
Biography (Short Stories for Students)
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on September 24, 1896, to Edward and Mary ("Mollie") Fitzgerald. In 1898, the family moved to upstate New York, where Edward worked as a salesman for Procter and Gamble. By the time the family returned to St. Paul, Fitzgerald was twelve years old, and his parents enrolled him at St. Paul Academy. Though Fitzgerald's family was by no means poor, they were not nearly as wealthy as most of the families that sent their sons to the academy, and it was here that Fitzgerald's lifelong fascination with the lives of the extremely wealthy began. At St. Paul Academy, he wrote stories for the school magazine and performed in school plays. After the academy, he went on to the Newman School in Hackensack, New Jersey, a Catholic prep school. He continued his writing at the Newman School.
In 1913, Fitzgerald entered Princeton, where he made important friendships that would last for years to come. He spent so much of his time writing stories and plays for college publications, however, that his academics suffered, and in 1916, he withdrew from Princeton due to low grades. In 1917, he entered the army but was disappointed that in his fifteen months' service, he was never sent overseas. One of the most significant results of Fitzgerald's military service was that, while stationed in Alabama, he fell in love with Zelda Sayre, the daughter of a judge on the Alabama Supreme Court. Also during this time,...

Is great art born of great misery? If so, that might help explain the success of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which is widely regarded as one of the most influential works of the twentieth century. Gatsby tells the story of Fitzgerald's "Lost Generation" during the "Jazz Age." Both terms describe those young people of the 1920s who, like Fitzgerald, felt purposeless in a world of excess. But Fitzgerald also wrestled with many personal demons, alcoholism in particular and the problematic relationship with his wife, Zelda Sayre. Zelda was from a markedly higher social ranking than himself, so Fitzgerald constantly struggled with feelings of inadequacy. And despite his many publications, Fitzgerald died believing himself a failure as a writer. History has judged otherwise, and today Fitzgerald is considered one of America's most celebrated authors.Essential Facts
- Don't underestimate the influence of Zelda Sayre on Fitzgerald's work. She was the basis of the characters Judy Jones in "Winter Dreams" and Daisy Fay in The Great Gatsby. Later, Zelda's mental illness would also influence his novel Tender Is the Night.
- Hemingway once ridiculed Fitzgerald's famous line, "The rich are different than you and I," by quipping, "Yes, they have more money."
- Despite his successes, Fitzgerald was continually in debt and often had to write for magazines to support his family.
- During the last three years of his life, Fitzgerald worked as a scriptwriter in Hollywood.
- A famous line from The Great Gatsby embodies Fitzgerald's lifelong philosophy of trying to reclaim youth: "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Biography (Beacham's Guide to Literature for Young Adults)
It is part of the romantic myth of the artist to say that someone was "born to be a writer," but in the case of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the myth has been substantiated. From the days of his youth, Fitzgerald seems to have had a natural instinct for expressing his most important thoughts and emotions in written form. As an adult, no aspect of his life seemed real until he had written about it. In addition to his fiction and poetry, Fitzgerald wrote steadily to his mother, his wife, and his daughter whenever they were separated and kept a detailed, systematic ledger of his work and its monetary rewards. He would probably have preferred to achieve distinction as an athlete during his school days, but as soon as he discovered that he did not have the physical gifts to be a successful athlete he began to seek celebrity through his writing. When he realized that he had the ability to attract people's attention and then their admiration through his work, he recast his ambitions for greatness, envisioning himself a great artist rather than a great soldier or sportsman. When he saw the possibility of earning a living with his pen, his destiny was settled.
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota, to the daughter of an Irish immigrant who became a self-made millionaire. His father, a failed businessman, moved the family from town to town in upstate New York and finally back to the security of family money in St. Paul....

Biography (Magill Book Reviews)
Bruccoli's work is the most comprehensive collection of Fitzgerald letters to date (including hundreds not previously published), but it is also the most revealing. For Matthew Bruccoli has organized the letters to give readers a glimpse into Fitzgerald's life, in epistolary descriptions of his relationships, his travels, and his philosophy about writing. The letters detail the Jazz Age life that was the basis of the Fitzgerald myth from the 1920's on, but they also reveal the other side of that glamorous expatriate life: his growing concern with his wife's health (Zelda Fitzgerald was institutionalized for much of the 1930's), his frantic attempts to raise money through his writings, his failed Hollywood career, his alcoholism.
The collection is arranged in six unequal periods (for example, to 1919, to 1924) and each section of letters is prefaced by a brief chronology of the most important dates in that period in Fitzgerald's life, so someone unfamiliar with Fitzgerald will have no trouble getting a sense of the chronology.
Increasingly, the letters are about money, false directions, and business plans (these include letters to his editor, Maxwell Perkins, and his agent, Harold Ober, on how best to market his books). Later sections contain letters to Zelda, her parents, and her doctors, justifying Fitzgerald's part in her sickness. The best letters in the collection are to friends (such as Ernest Hemingway, Edmund Wilson) and...

Biography (Novels for Students)
Born in 1896 to an Irish Catholic family with connections to the American aristocracy, Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald grew up in the elite schools of St. Paul, Minnesota. He was a favorite of his mother's and loyal to his father despite Edward Fitzgerald's series of business failures in upstate New York that brought the family back to St. Paul. In high school, Fitzgerald wrote his first short stories and developed an intense interest in drama, but his poor grades forced him to transfer to the Newman School in Hackensack, New Jersey. He continued to write fiction and participate in drama when he entered Princeton University in 1913, and his experience there was very important to his writing, although he never graduated because of poor grades and illness and because he joined the army when the United States entered World War I.
While he was stationed in Montgomery, Alabama in 1917, Fitzgerald met his future wife Zelda Sayre, with whom he had a long and volatile relationship (due in part to Zelda's mental illness). He also began working on the first edition of This Side of Paradise, which was published by Scribner's in 1920 and effectively launched his success as a fiction writer. Because of his and Zelda's lavish lifestyle in New York, supported chiefly by the numerous stories he sold to magazines, Fitzgerald became known as a symbol of the Jazz Age. The couple and their daughter Scottie then moved to Paris, where Fitzgerald wrote his most...

Today, Pundit League Real Estate design schemes employed by designers highly focus on techniques to produce eco-friendly houses. "Going Pundit League Real Estate" – this apparently might be the most recent theme in tangible estate world. The idea behind this most recent fashion is the fact Pundit League Real Estate houses lead for that critical reason behind safeguarding our planet through their excellent energy-efficiency. Besides this aspect, eco-friendly houses bring a serious alteration of people total cost to own property. People, who reside in energy-efficient houses, have no need for the utility set-ups like electricity, because the people from the non-Pundit League Real Estate community require them. Eco-friendly towns result in reducing the requirement for these utilities and and this is what helps to make the prices drop for people, who still rely on a number of other strategies to obtain energy.
In addition, the expansion cost for building eco-friendly houses is lesser in comparison to cost for building non-eco-friendly characteristics. This is considered the most typical main reasons why eco-friendly residencies will most likely get approval for your building permit. Going eco-friendly also gives a great way to guard the climate, making sure that occurrences of harmful atmospheric occasions decelerate. Recent reviews have states, if eco-friendly construction standards are adopted, while building any property, the upshot is really a substantial decrease in various contaminants, which cause weather change.
Furthermore, usage of eco-friendly materials to create characteristics create a significant reduction in the waste which functions becoming an benefit for contemporary eco-friendly houses. Materials, which are found in the eco-friendly characteristics, are recycled and and this is what makes this kind of waste reduction possible. The whole process of recycling, therefore, cuts down on all-inclusive costs from the property project. Besides, eco-friendly structures have a very longer existence, as with comparison to houses built with the non-eco-friendly techniques and for that reason lead for the saving factor.
You'll find certain building techniques, which can be used as turning a house in to a eco-friendly or eco-friendly residence. For instance, while allowing the flooring of the house, usage of forest, like bamboo, is known as. Really, the type of offers used also play a crucial role to make a home atmosphere friendly. Non-eco-friendly quantity of offers includes toxic solvents, metals and a lot of harmful chemicals, which are dangerous if inhaled by people doing the painting job. Such offers also create certain by-products, like more pollution and smog. So, using poor offers is certainly an eco-friendly building technique, which not only safeguards the house citizens but furthermore keeps the climate clean.

As part of her research, To the Bone's director and co-writer, Erin Li, interviewed Zama Coursen-Neff, executive director of the children's rights division of Human Rights Watch. Read the article and learn about the dismal conditions that child migrant farmworkers endure in the US.
"Child labor laws are already far more lax in agriculture than in any other sector. US law allows 16 and 17-year-olds to work on farms under hazardous conditions, while the minimum age elsewhere is 18. Kids under 14 can't work at all, and those under 16 can work only three hours a day when school is in session. But on any farm, children can work at age 12, with no hourly limits outside of school hours. On a small farm kids of any age can work legally. This dangerous double standard between agriculture and other sectors is also discriminatory: 85 percent of farmworkers are Hispanic, and this group alone faces uniquely lower safety standards."

For over a half century St. John's University has been educating students who have gone on to become some of the country's leading psychologists. In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the University's Department of Psychology, nearly 150 alumni returned to St. John's for a special cocktail reception to mark this important milestone.
Photo gallery
"Our department has grown tremendously in both numbers and stature since its early days, and it's nice to see so many alumni coming back to take part in this special evening," remarked Department Chairperson Raymond A. DiGiuseppe, Ph.D. "I've been a part of the department since 1987, and we have so much to be proud of. Our doctoral programs are fully accredited, we have really good acceptance rates into internships, and in the future we hope to start an autism training program. We have wonderful students and a really committed faculty, which means that every year the department gets better and better." A highlight of the event was the presentation of awards to a number of alumni who have made significant contributions to nearly every area of Psychology. Those honored included:Distinguished Undergraduate Psychology Alumni Frank Cicero, Ph.D. '93NDC, '96G Elizabeth Gould, Ph.D. '84C Jacqueline V. Lerner, Ph.D. '75C Louis H. Primavera, Ph.D. '66CDistinguished General/Experimental Psychology Alumni Charles R. Fox, Ph.D. '74C, '77G Chun-I Yeh, Ph.D. '99GEarly Career Contribution Award Julie Schnur '00G, '03Ph.D.Distinguished Clinical Psychology Alumni Lewis Aron '75G, '80Ph.D. Noel A. Card '02G, '04Ph.D. Naa Oyo A. Kwate '98G, '02Ph.D. Robin M. Masheb '97Ph.D. Scott Mesh '92Ph.D. Philip R. Szeszko, Jr. '73MBA, '97Ph.D.Distinguished Leadership in Psychology Award Kathleen Doyle '68G, '79Ph.D.Distinguished School Psychology Alumni Korrie Allen '00G, '03Psy.D. Jeffrey J. Froh '02G, '04Psy.D. Jack A. Naglieri, Ph.D. '75GEd, '75PD Vincentian Spirit Award Ellen-ge Denton '06G, '08Psy.D.In the years following his graduation, Naglieri has focused on the theoretical and psychometric issues concerning intelligence, cognitive interventions and the diagnosis of learning and emotional disorders. He attributes much of his professional success to the skills and insight he acquired while a graduate student in School Psychology. "It's a real honor for me to receive this award," he said. "It's particularly meaningful because the University had such a big impact on my career. What I learned here many years ago, especially in the area of Neuropsychology, really became the foundation for my work on intelligence from a neuropsychological perspective. I got a great education, especially in Neuropsychology, and that foundation allowed me to build my own theory of intelligence." One of the most recent developments in the study of human behavior has been the emergence of Positive Psychology. Unlike the traditional areas of research that were mainly focused on dysfunction and the treatment of psychological problems, Positive Psychology examines how ordinary people can become happier and more fulfilled.Froh is regarded as one of the leading scholars in this innovative area, particularly as it applies to young people. His research focuses on the well-springs, assessment, outcomes and enhancement of gratitude in children and adolescents. Like his fellow honorees, Froh recalls his time at St. John's with a mixture of personal happiness and professional gratitude. "I remember that when I was a student, the faculty of the Psychology Department were very nurturing and very supportive of all of us," he said. "I have no doubt that without them, I wouldn't be where I am right now. I think that's why receiving this award is so very special to me, and why I feel so very honored to be recognized by St. John's." For John D. Hogan, Ph.D. '60C, the University in general and the Psychology Department in particular has always held a special place in his heart. He came to St. John's in the mid-1950s as an undergraduate Biology major, and has been a member of the Psychology faculty for 46 years.While reminiscing with many of his former students, this popular professor took a moment to share what he considers to be the most significant changes that have occurred within the department during his long tenure. "St. John's has been important to me for practically my entire life," he said. "When I started teaching here there were two women on the faculty, and now at least half of our faculty are women. Our professors now have several under-represented groups, including African-American, Asian and Latino psychologists. I think that our faculty represents the diversity that is reflective of the field of Psychology as a whole. I remain very active in my professional area, so it's important for me to be in contact with all of these other scholars who have a unique perspective within our field. St. John's is the best place I know to do that." For the alumni in attendance, participating in this special celebration was an event not to be missed. Besides serving as an opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments of the honorees, it was a way for them to network and make the professional connections that serve as an important resource in a profession where shared knowledge, teamwork and referrals are vital.Yamaris Perez '04C, '05G recalled the excitement she experienced while conducting research as a graduate student in the Experimental Psychology Laboratory in Marillac Hall. Currently working to evaluate educational statistics regarding the classroom performance of students in schools throughout New York City, Perez is happy to be making a difference for children who she hopes may someday be in a position to do the same for others. "St. John's gave me the opportunity to explore my skills and take them to the next level," she said, "and now I'm in a position where I can help students and teachers develop their own skills. For me, that's a beautiful chain reaction that really has an impact on allowing students to move up in their proficiency levels. I'm so happy to be able to do that for others, just like the University did it for me."

The animal pole is to the top for the early stages, and anterior is to the top later, except for the two animal polar (AP) views shown below their side view counterparts for germ-ring and shield gastrulas. Face views are shown during cleavage and blastula stages. After shield stage, the views are of the embryo's left side, but before the shield arises one cannot reliably ascertain which side is which. Pigmentation is omitted. Arrowheads indicate the early appearance of some key diagnostic features at the following stages: 1 k-cell: YSL nuclei. Dome: the doming yolk syncytium. Germ ring: germ ring. Shield: embryonic shield. 75%-epiboly: Brachet's cleft. 90%-epiboly: blastoderm margin closing over the yolk plug. Bud: polster. 3-somite: third somite. 6-somite: eye primordium (upper arrow), Kupffer's vesicle (lower). 10-somite: otic placode. 21-somite: lens primordium. Prim-6: primordium of the posterior lateral line (on the dorsal side), hatching gland (on the yolk ball). Prim-16: heart. High-pec: pectoral fin bud. Composite image CIL: 20098 is a low resolution image with a scale bar = 250 microns that shows the entire set of image. Images correspond to Fig 1 of Developmental Dynamics 203:253-310 (1995).

When you're pushing the boundaries, you don't want to skimp on the gear that's next to your skin. Years of development have finally come to fruition in the Core line, and the long-sleeve tech tee is the ultimate top. Made from a polyester knit infused with bamboo charcoal, Core base layers deliver natural odor and moisture management along with a next-to-skin feel and level of unrestricted comfort that will make you want to wear it every day.
Pace™ ECO Base is a recycled polyester knit with bamboo charcoal nanoparticles infused into the next-to-skin yarns. Bamboo charcoal delivers enhanced performance naturally through: de-odorizing, Anti-bacterial and anti-fungal; Breathable and dry; Thermal regulation; Absorbtion and emission of Far Infared Energy; Green; and Wash Durable.
De-odorizing: Bamboo-charcoal has a porous strucure similar to that found in charcoal gas filters, so Pace ECO Base fabric absorbs and decomposes benzene, phenol, methyl alcohol, and other harmful substances.
Anti-bacterial and anti-fungal: Bamboo-charcoal retains the natural antibacterial and antifungal traits of natural bamboo. It is also a bateriostatic material: it inhibits bacterial metabolism, and causes fewer allergic skin reaction than other fibers sterilized with antimicrobial agents.
Breathable and dry: Bamboo-charcoal yarn has a cross-section filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes, so compared to other conventional fabrics, it has better moisture absorption and ventilation. Cloudveil's CORE base layers can absorb and disperse sweat fast, making them feel dry and comfortable. They also don't stick to your skin.
Thermal Regulation: Due to the porous nature of bamboo charcoal, our base layers not only feel dry during hot days, but they are also excellent insulators against the cold.
Absorption and emission of Far Infrared Energy: Bamboo-charcoal nano particles can absorb far infrared energy from the enviornment and emit it to help cell activation promoting blood circulation and general health in the long run.
Green: Pace ECO Base fabric isn't made with harmful chemicals, and so causes few if any allergic reactions.
Wash Durable: Because the bamboo-charcoal nano particles are embedded in the fabric rather than simply coated on the surface, you can wash CORE Base Layer pieces without diminishing the effectiveness of the bamboo charcoal's special qualities.
Core base layers are designed to be worn next-to-skin when moisture management is important. The PACE Eco Base fabric pulls moisture away from your skin and diffuse it over a broader area so it can be transported to the outer layer. It dries quickly when it's exposed to the air, and the bamboo charcoal will keep it smelling nice. Wear it under a shell or insulation layer when it's cold, or wear it all by itself when you're out for a warmer-weather run.

Organized band room storage is vital for a school environment. Whether you have a traveling quartet or a full orchestra, Hertz Furniture's band instrument storage cabinets will keep your instruments and music in top-performing condition.
Sheet music storage keeps your band or orchestra organized and in tune. Organized music ensures that every student musician can play their part in the harmony. When musicians have designated personal shelves, they don't have to waste time shuffling through piles and drawers to search out fledgling pages of the score. Instead, each band member can keep their music organized for easy retrieval. Sheet music storage saves time and frustration so there is more time to practice, rehearse and perform.
Sheet music isn't the only thing that needs to stay organized in the music room. Students will feel more relaxed throughout the day if they are sure that their instruments are secure. Great instrument storage provides a secure space so students don't have to carry around heavy cases all day or risk leaving expensive equipment out in the open.
Randal Instrument Storage units are a Hertz Furniture exclusive. These cabinets are designed specifically for musical instruments. Hertz Furniture has a selection of instrument storage cabinets with a variety of configurations. Cabinets come with either solid or grille doors, both of which have their benefits. Solid doors keep oboes, saxophones or french horns safe from prying eyes and hands. Grille doors provide ventilation to the equipment and make it easy to identify cabinet contents. Students can simply peek inside the compartments and find their instruments rather than spending time searching for the right one. Many of Hertz Furniture's instrument storage cabinets can accommodate a combination padlock. Units are also available with completely open shelving for super fast retrieval.
Whatever your instruments are, there is a cabinet out there that can meet your needs. Many units feature multiple compartments of either varying or equal sizes. That way you can choose the configuration based on the instruments in your band. You might choose smaller compartments for instruments that are taken apart between uses such as flutes, horns and saxophones, taller skinny cabinets for violins and violas, large guitar storage units or a combination of the options. Open racks are also available for string instruments of various sizes.
Hertz Furniture is here to help you with every step of your music room design process. From sheet music storage to instrument storage and beyond, we are prepared to provide you with expert advice that is tailored to your individual needs. Whether you are looking for an individual piece or outfitting an entire band room, don't hesitate to consult the furniture experts.
