Betty: How did you get into literature?
F. Scott: Well, when I was fifteen my parents sent me to Newman school, it was a prestigious Catholic prep school in New Jersey.

F. Scott Fitzgerald studied at Newman School, a Catholic prep school found in New Jersey (“F. Scott Fitzgerald” St. James). Fitzgerald played for their football team (“F. Scott Fitzgerald” American). He spent two years at the Newman School then enrolled at Princeton in 1913. He was placed on academic probation in 1917 and figured that it was highly unlikely for him to graduate. So he left Princeton and went to the Army (“F. Scott Fitzgerald” St. James).

Francis was the lone son of the couple however they had a daughter named Annabel who was five years younger than Francis.

The Sweet Hereafter has quite the unique narrative structure, that completely differs from the repeated styles of Hollywood storytelling. Contrast to an average storyline with a rising action, climax, and falling action, the film constructs its scenes with skewed notions on the basic fundamentals of chronological order. This forces the audience to pay close attention to the different time zones throughout the movie, to understand how they relate to the current events that foreshadow what’s next in the film. For example, the climax of the bus crash that kills many of the towns children, is revealed relatively early on in the film, immediately building suspense and making you wonder what could be next for the rising action if I already know what happened.
Scott Fitzgerald was a unique character with a very opinionated mind, his writings speaks to many Americans all over the world because they felt his pain, lust and sorrow through out his novel. He aspired to become a well known author, and thats exactly what he accomplished. The History Channel explains Fitzgerald life and how he was raised "His father taught him to always be a gentleman to those around him and his mother sent him to prep school to better enhance that" ( The Great American Dreamer). He passed time in his new school while he was not learning or studying, he would write plays and short stories. After prep school he attended Princeton, where he wrote many literary magazines and even joined the Triangle Club for avid writers.
Fitzgerald was a bright, handsome, and successful young boy, who would always make his parents become proud of him, especially his mother. When he was thirteen, he went to St. Paul Academy and saw his first piece of writing on a newspaper.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul. Minnesota. His parents were Mary “Mollie” McQuillan and Edward Fitzgerald. Mary came from a wealthy family, while Edward held multiple failed careers; causing the family to bounce between states. Fitzgerald went to school at St. Paul’s Academy, then on to the Newman School, and finally to Princeton. Obsessed with writing, Fitzgerald dropped out of University, then decided to join the US Army. Stationed at Camp Sheridan as a second lieutenant, Fitzgerald continued writing and finished his first novel, The Romantic Egotist. The original novel was rejected, but later accepted as, This Side of Paradise, turning Fitzgerald into an “overnight success.” The novel success allowed for Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre to get married. The couple had one child, Frances Scott “Scottie” Fitzgerald, but were not happy. After their move to Europe, Zelda suffered a nervous breakdown. She spent most of the rest of her life in metal health hospitals. Later in his life, Fitzgerald suffered from alcoholism, and died from a heart attack in 1940.
The third religious group to be discussed will be Heaven’s Gate, Heaven’s Gate was a religious group in which it’s members killed themselves in March 1997, (Davis, 2000). This act was seen by the group as a way for them to reach salvation, which they called, “… the literal heavens,” (Davis, 2000, pg 241). The act of killing oneself as a way to reach salvation is something that is not seen in mainstream religions, in fact death is viewed as something to be feared by the majority of society. But wanting to reach salvation is something that is seen in most religions, and it is also something that is seen in most fundamental religions such as Gloriavale. But each religion seems to have their own way in which they believe they will reach salvation.

At the tender age of thirteen, Fitzgerald attended the St. Paul Academy. The boring aspects of academics, perhaps, could be the reason Fitzgerald got so into his writing hobby. The academy saw his potential and mistakenly encouraged his passion for writing over his schoolwork. His writing was also strongly encouraged by his mentor, Father Sigourney Fay, at the catholic prep school he began attending at the age of fifteen.
There were more than just the culture of the 1920s that affected the way F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote. His life experiences had a profound impact on his writings. F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896 in St. Paul Minnesota. He grew up in a middle class household but in a wealthy neighborhood. They lived comfortably off of his mother Mollies inheritance but as a child Fitzgerald felt out of place with all of the wealthy people around him. While at the St.Paul Academy Fitzgerald developed his love for writing and wrote his first story, this passion continued on to Princeton University. While there he wrote plays and articles for the Princeton Tiger. His passion for writing got in the way of his academics and after three years at Princeton he
In 1897, consequently to the collapse of Edwards business, the family moved to New York, in order for Edward to take up a job as a salesman for Proctor and Gamble. Be that as it may, their moved was brief after Edward was let go from his employment in 1908, inciting a move back the St. Paul where the Fitzgerald’s lived off the McQuillan family fortune, (Fitzgerald, Bruccoli and Baughman, 1995). For the next 14 years, Scott invested the larger part of his time at boarding school, at Princeton University, in the army, and in New York City (Ibid, 1995). Fitzgerald’s writing career began to take off in 1920 after the publication of his first novel, This Side of Paradise (Bruccoli and Smith, 1981). The novel received glowing reviews (Ibid, 1981) and secured Fitzgerald’s place as one of the country’s most promising young
In Milton's Paradise Lost, the two images of sex in Books IV and IX sharply contrast one another in order to show the dichotomy of love and lust. The first act of sex is seen in Book IV and represents holy love. Before going into their bower, Adam and Eve make sure to praise God. This awe for their maker is seen when Adam and Eve "both stood,/Both turned, and under open sky adored/The God that made both sky, air, earth and Heav'n" (IV. 720-2). Even the heavens are in unison with Adam and Eve's love. While Eve decorates their "nuptial bed," there are "heaven'ly choirs" singing the "hymnenean sung" (IV. 709, -10). This love of Adam and Eve's is not "loveless, joyless, unendeared" but instead is "loyal, just, and pure" (IV. 766, 755). After their sacred act of sex, Adam and Eve are enraptured with joy and peace. They are "lulled by nightingales" and fall asleep naked, embracing one another (IV. 771). All is perfect in Paradise, but not for long.
