Essay, Research Paper: F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Crack Up"

FITZGERALD LETTERS COMPOSITION

F. Scott Fitzgerald was a very interesting man. He was together a brilliant writer, loving father and husband. He was however not the same man during all of these occupations. Fitzgerald the writer was a perfectly planned perfectionist. He wrote satiric at times but always to the point. He would live and act out the characters and express to you which ones he approved and disapproved of. He would also lend the reader some creative genius of their own. He would leave characters shady and unclear. Whether by mistake or literary genius he has worked his magic on millions of readers. Fitzgerald the man, was a lost soul. Like Gatsby, he had a dream, and like Gatsby he never got to fully realize that dream. He was a man whose life was forsaken. Instead of living out his dream he went the more conservative route and got married. It seemed like he forever regretted the part of the marriage that prohibited his dream. He was a man that wanted everything. Unconcerned in happiness and misery he sought after only his dream and his daughters welfare. Fitzgerald the father was a interesting conception. He fully realized that all of his faults and character flaws would be studiously studied in his daughters character. He tried to groom her to the best of his ability. He tried to maker her as happy and as well off for her future as she can. He told her his mistakes and how she could avoid them. He told her no to be concerned with trifle things(which is ironic because he wrote about materialism) and he still tried to convert her life into one of complete and unparalleled readiness. As a member of a partially dysfunctional family(or at least when concerning me), I would have loved to have F. Scott Fitzgerald as my father. I found him to be loving and caring. He was a little strict at times, but only in his daughters health and well-being. He was always looking out for her and ceased to relent in his letters of moral justification.
