overview of my project April 17, 2007
The author i picked was F. Scott Fitzgerald. Im writing about how alcohol, parties, and romance influenced his writing. The 20′s was a diffrent time for everyone, and for Scott he had a drinking problem. But if it wasnt for his crazy and wild wife and the parties he wouldnt have as much to write about. I think the 20s was a very intresting time period and i thought it would be a good idea to research about it.
