Abstract
The writer of this paper clearly details the significance of the colors used in F. Scott Fitzgerald's American classic "The Great Gatsby." The writer contends that Fitzgerald is a master of the motif and his recurring themes and symbols, which include the use of light and automobiles, in addition to colors, are a large part of what make this particular novel so captivating. Each color in the novel symbolizes a different theme. The colors do not only have meaning individually, but the relationship between all of the colors and the things they represent are intricate and visually stunning. This paper examines the author's use of colors throughout this novel, which include blue, gray, lavender, yellow, white and green. The blue motif represents dreams, imagination, and in some ways, the supernatural. For example, Eckleburg's blue eyes, which appear in the novel many times can be interpreted as representing the omnipresence of God himself. The writer also delves into the author's focus on the use automobiles and light, in addition to the colors. Fitzgerald centers on the use of light in his novel also as a motif. The green light, in specific, holds great importance in the story, which is clearly explained in this paper.
From the Paper
"The Valley of Ashes is an example of gray being the color that represents being stuck without hope of reaching any dreams, and having abandoned them. The people near there work hard, drive in gray cars (a connection to another Ftizgerald motif of automobiles), and they do not strive for anything more exciting. While the eyes of the all-knowing Eckleburg are blue, Jordan, who is superficial and has no dreams, has gray eyes. Lavender is another important color. Closely related to blue, this color represents indulgence, such as Gatsby's lavender-decorated rooms and his lavender shirts. The beads on a dress are also referred to as lavender; the beads are embellishments, unneeded things that are nonetheless desired, and obtained often by the wealthy. White is used in The Great Gatsby in the traditional literary use of the color. Like white wedding dresses, white here represents innocence."

Abstract
Describes the process in length and uses early as well as later examples in the development of Technicolor. Examples include "Birth of a Nation," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Gone with the Wind". Also, it describes some of the difficulties that were encountered with the development of Technicolor.
From the Paper
"Motion pictures as we know them today were propelled by two innovations; sound and color, and as early as 1903, filmmakers have been experimenting with color (www.pbs.org). However, Technicolor was responsible for the color revolution (Basten 9). The production of color had originally been limited to tinting and toning black and white release prints, hand stenciling frames, and utilizing complicated additive color systems that required special projectors (Haines1). In 1915, Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation was established. The term "Technicolor," was originated by Dr. Kalmus, who replaced "que" with "color" in the word "technique" as a tribute to his alma mater (www.technicolor.com). Technicolor Corporation initiated a plan called "progressive step development;" a strategy that was developed to a plan as far ahead as possible, a series of steps where each move does not require too much money or time, and shows convincing pictures on a screen (Basten 22)."

Abstract
The paper begins with a short history of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The paper explains that Fitzgerald used himself, his wife and others in his close circle on whom to fashion his characters. Fitzgerald sometimes based characters on the country, the United States, as a symbol of moral decay in society. The paper has reviews of each of the following books: "This Side of Paradise", "The Great Gatsby" and "Tender is the Night".
From the Paper
"Of all American writers, F. Scott Fitzgerald is considered by many critics and scholars to be unparalleled in the elegance and grace of his fiction. He wrote with a lyrical economy that elevates his work from pure storytelling to poetic beauty.
"This Side of Paradise"
Fitzgerald's first novel was groundbreaking in its candid portrayal of the behavior and thoughts of young people. One contemporary reviewer noted, "No one else has given us so real and intimate a study of college life, of the relationship at that age between boys and girls ... of the things young men in college think about and do." It tells the story of Amory Blaine's passage through adolescence and youth toward maturity. It explores his relationships with women with frankness that shocked the post-Victorian parental generation. His love interest, the beautiful Rosalind, tells him, "There used to be two kinds of kisses. First when girls were kissed and deserted; second when they were engaged. Now there's a third kind, where the man is kissed and deserted." This was a new facet in the sexual tension of the times, an early indication of the sexual revolution that was to come."

Abstract
This paper starts with a background of the Jazz Age which F. Scott Fitzgerald was a part of, and looks at how Fitzgerald's personal experience was reflected in his work. It maintains that Fitzgerald?s ability to adhere to two different perspectives was one of his distinguishing marks as a writer, as well as his ability to create three-dimensional characters and write about the American experience that has withstood the test of time.
From the Paper
"F. Scott Fitzgerald was a part of this time. In his twenties himself, he lived the way the rest of his generation lived, and he ?not only represented the age, but came to suspect that he had helped to create it? (Bloom 57). He was constantly aware of being involved in a part of history. He made countless lists of current slang expressions, songs, football players, and hobbies. Forever seeking to keep up with the times, he knew he was part of a changing world that was slowly losing its innocence. ?Fitzgerald never lost a quality that very few writers are able to acquire: a sense of living in history. Manners and morals were changing all through his life and he set himself the task of recording the changes? (Bloom 57). He wrote about the Jazz Age in away that no one else could, integrating into his work his own personal experience, and a rare double-vision that allowed the reader to not only participate, but to stand apart from it all, absorbing with a critical eye. Because of this gift his novels are timeless."

Abstract
This paper looks at the emergence of F. Scott Fitzgerald as a leader in the modernist movement of literature. It looks at the defining characteristics of modernism and how the uniqueness and newness of Fitzgerald's style of writing put him in the forefront of modernist writers. Fitzgerald's famous works of art and the characters within them are used to aptly illustrate Fitzgerald as one who spearheaded the modernist movement.
From the Paper
"Modernist literature is also the result of the writer seeking to save mankind from the ?deadening features? of what became known as everyday life. The Modern artist, according to Paul Lauter, editor of The Heath Anthology of American Literature, felt a need to ?challenge and reinvigorate? the ever-growing urban, industrial society. (935) In order for this reinvigoration to be successful, new styles of writing were needed to express the new ideas and values. From this need, Modernism arose and became what one critic called a ?tradition of the new? (935). However, more than anything, modernism meant breaking away from traditional responses and ?predictable forms?."

Abstract
This paper relates that F. Scott Fitzgerald (Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald) was an Irish-American Jazz Age novelist and short story writer, who is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. The author points out that Fitzgerald's protagonists are often reflections of the author and his wife Zelda -- heroes who are handsome, confident and predestined that blaze brilliantly before exploding and heroines who are beautiful, tempting and manipulative. The paper compares the couples from the two writings, Jay and Daisy of "The Great Gatsby" and Dexter and Judy of "Winter Dreams", who want greatness but end in misery.
From the Paper
"Both of these women were described as insensitive, unfaithful women, because both being involved in unsatisfactory marriages, they were having an affair with the male character, Jay Gatsby, respectively Dexter Green. Also Daisy was especially cruel when it came to significant issues. She ran over a woman and killed her, yet afterwards she simply went home and ate dinner, as nothing happened. She cared more about the heat than the person she murdered. Judy was heartless too when it came to the men who adored her."

Abstract
This paper explains that, unlike earlier novels, Fitzgerald's ?Tender is the Night? pays more attention to internalized issues instead of focusing solely on the wealth of the characters as the means by which they express themselves. The author points out that, in this manner, Fitzgerald brings the reader closer to the characters he creates, characters who operate with less flash and dazzle and more strain and spontaneity. The paper relates that the main conflict of the novel lies in Dick Diver?s complete collapse as his life changes from that of an affluent and respected doctor to a humiliated, alcoholic outcast.
From the Paper
"At this point, as it seems to be moving towards an inevitable climax in which the couple comes to a resolution, the novel surprises the reader by going back in time several years and exploring Dick?s career as a doctor, the Great War, and the early relationship between Dick and Nicole. We see that Dick is no stranger to Europe, as he was stationed
there when in the US Army. More of an intellectual than a soldier, Dick spends the war as a doctor in France and Germany. The reader is introduced to the character of Franz Gregorovius, Dick?s business partner and friend, who, though the two have much in common initially, acts as a rational foil to Dick during his later unraveling. Dick meets
Nicole when she is a patient at their clinic, and writes to her while in France."

Abstract
This paper examines how F. Scott Fitzgerald experienced many different hardships, romances, and personal achievements. Most characters in the "The Great Gatsby" had some link to his past, which makes each character more dynamic. It explains how F. Scott Fitzgerald called upon all his personal knowledge and past experiences to write "The Great Gatsby".
From the Paper
"In The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald used many of his own life experiences including his own yearnings and lost hopes (A&E Biography). Throughout Fitzgerald?s life he met people in Great Neck, Long Island that would later become the characters in his elaborate novel that combine both truths and false pretenses that he lived. Mellow said that every scrap of experience, his own or borrowed from others; every insight, earned or overheard, was considered usable knowledge for his fictional pursuits (220). For instance, Mellow stated that nearly all of Gatsby?s shady connections with bootlegging, sport scandals, and stock swindles were related to unnamed but clearly identifiable Great Neck residents(220). In the character Jay Gatsby similarities can be seen between Gatsby and Fitzgerald."

Abstract
This is a review of "The Great Gatsby", by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which analyzes and comments on one man's personal vision of the 1920's American Dream and the dynamic yet decadent society that fueled his aspirations of wealth and happiness. The author of this paper provides comprehensive descriptions of all the characters, and reveals Gatsby's undying devotion to the pursuit of Daisy Fay Buchanan's love. The author also explains how Fitzgerald produced in his novel, set in the 1920s, a tale for any generation with the message that no one should be deterred from searching for their own piece of heaven on earth.
From the Paper
"The Great Gatsby, through the honest, heart-felt narration of Nick Carraway, celebrates and criticizes the Jazz Age society, stressing its failure to reach its full potential as well as its inability to separate corruption from financial success and happiness. The corruption of this 1920's society caused the inevitable downfall and demise of Jay Gatsby, Fitzgerald's version of the heroic American character.
"From the outset of the novel, Nick Carraway is established as the mostly impartial but not passive narrator. His loyalties shift during the novel, and he becomes more critical of the individuals he previously thought to be friends and acquaintances. Nick is the straight-edged man in the Eggs, a suburb inhabited by an assortment of millionaires, eccentrics, and upstart societal darlings of the theatrical and musical worlds. Nick comes from a wealthy Mid-West family, but is indeed one of the normal, upstanding people in the novel, not a false face trying to fit into a self-chosen social coterie. Although he lives next to Gatsby's mansion, Nick is detached from the "garish, drunken-Broadway atmosphere" of the Eggs (Sutton 38). He is the most appropriate of all the characters to be the narrator because, as he explains, "...I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known"(Gatsby 64). It has been said, "Nick, who is, like us, within and without, simultaneously repelled and enchanted by the inexhaustible variety of life, is the hero we can and must become"(Gross 168)."

Abstract
This paper discusses whether F. Scott Fitzgerald is found to be accurate in his fictional portrayal of prohibition, gangsters, the American Dream and new women of the 1920s. By examining various aspects in the novel, this paper compares the reality of the 1920's, to the way it is described in "The Great Gatsby" and examines its accuracy.
From the Paper
"F. Scott Fitzgerald was accurate in his portrayal of the aristocratic flamboyancy and indifference of the 1920s. In his novel, The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald explores many aspects of indifference and flamboyancy. A large influence on this society was the pursuit of the American Dream. Gangsters played a heavily influential role in the new money aristocracy of the 1920s. The indifference was mainly due to the advent of Prohibition in 1920. One major societal revolution in this period was that of the ?new women,? who expressed new actions and beliefs. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald accurately portrayed his characters Nick Carraway, Daisy and Tom Buchanan, and the novel?s eponym, Jay Gatsby, as a part of the society of the 1920s."

Abstract
This paper looks at the life and early works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. It begins by describing his childhood and upbringing. It looks at his personal life, marriage, and parenthood. It discusses some of his early works and the attitudes of critics toward him in his early days.
From the Paper
"Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota. His given names indicate his parent?s pride in his father?s distant cousin who authored the National Anthem (Brief pg). Fitzgerald attended St. Paul Academy where his first writing appeared in the school newspaper when he was thirteen years old. At Princeton in 1917, he focused his attention on his literary apprenticeship, writing scripts and lyrics for the Princeton Triangle Club musicals and contributing to the Princeton Tiger humor magazine and the Nassau Literary Magazine (Brief pg). Having neglected his studies and unlikely to graduate, Fitzgerald joined the army that year and convinced that he was going to die in the war, he quickly wrote his first novel, ?The Romantic Egotist? and submitted it to Charles Scribner?s Sons for publication (Brief pg). While stationed at Camp Sheridan, outside Montgomery, Alabama, in 1918, he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre, the eighteen year old daughter of an Alabama Supreme Court judge (Brief pg). He was discharged in 1919 and moved to New York to pursue his career (Brief pg)."

Fitzgerald?s "The Great Gatsby", 2002.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
F. Scott Fitzgerald?s novel, "The Great Gatsby", characterizes society in America in the 1920?s by looking at the lives of key residents of suburban New York and how they relate to one another. The paper shows that Nick Carraway, the novel?s narrator, is an important character in the book, since the reader sees everyone else through his biased eye, but he is not a man of great means or any particularly special quality. In this paper, the author looks at issues related to the gender roles in the novel, and how they reflect the patriarchal society set forth in the novel. The paper also focuses on issues of narrator reliability as they relate to gender and the patriarchy.
From the Paper
"The ?single girls? in this scene are wild and uninhibited. They are the type of women who entertain the men at the party; however, women are also portrayed as small and insignificant. Later at the same party, two women, described as ?highly indignant?, are carried off by their husbands, kicking the whole way (Fitzgerald 56). This type of treatment shows that despite the allowances women are given to act independently at the party, they are still under men?s control when all is said and done."

Fitzgerald and Nafisi Compared, 2004.
Examines the theme of finding one's true self in "The Great Gatsby" by F.Scott Fitzgerald and "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi.

Abstract
The characters of F. Scott Fitzgerald?s "The Great Gatsby" are largely members of a falsely created American aristocracy. But some of the higher aspirations of this decadent elite for truth, beauty, and, more importantly, a secure sense of home and identity, mirror the far less decadent, but equally passionate desires of the members of the all-female book reading society found in "Reading Lolita in Tehran". This paper shows that Jay Gatsby desired to improve himself by ?making himself up? to be worthy of the love of the faithless Daisy Buchanan. He did this through bootlegging, purchasing fine shirts, and securing a home in Great Neck, Long Island. The paper shows that, similarly, through a shift in attire and place, the women of Azar Nafisi?s book wished to reinvent themselves by casting off their chadors and the external social and moral strictures that restricted them in their theocratic, Islamic educational framework.
From the Paper
"The girls revealed the hidden colors of concealed banned clothing, from under chadors, colorful as Gatsby?s fine shirts that he showed to Daisy, concealed in his drawers. ?Recovering himself in a minute, he opened for us two hulking patent cabinets which held his massed suits and dressing-gowns and ties, and his shirts, piled like bricks in stacks a dozen high.? (Fitzgerald 91) Yet like these Iranian women, Jay Gatsby too has a hidden past and life, of his mundane Midwestern beginnings, as well as his criminal past. Gatsby keeps this boring past hidden life, filled with the shame of wealth he has not inherited, concealed under the colors of his shirts, while the women of Tehran keep their colorful plumage and reading a secret under cloaks of blackness that hide their faces and light. But like Gatsby, too, ?it was not until I had reached home that I realized the true meaning of exile,? writes Nafisi. (Nafisi 145)"
