            At the age of 13, F. Scott wrote his first literary piece. It was a hypothetical detective story that was published in his school newspaper. In his later years, F. Scott attended Princeton University. While at Princeton, F. Scott was still a novice to the literary world.

          Then F.Scott left Princeton to join the army and fight in WW1. Even though he didn't get to fight in the war, because it ended shortly after his enlistment, he was very debonair about the situation. In 1918, he met a young woman by the name of Zelda Sayre.  

            His avarice for her made everything come together                                                                             and they got married in 1920.

          During the 20's the Fitzgerald's were widely know and they were getting used to the adulation that everyone was showing them. Francis was becoming one of the biggest authors in history. There was especially no consternation as to why after he wrote his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, which everyone wanted because they might have been covertly placed within the text. There was no dissension that F. Scott Fitzgerald was the greatest author of the 1920's and on.

Everybody who was anybody was "supposedly metioned in The Great Gatsby. Just one book made everyone go crazy. He showed that he could do whatever and anything he wanted. Had the popularity and the riches. He was basically unstoppable without being involved in organized crimes. He was the symbol for creativity, and has still successfully held it.
