He that it is an authors duty to write for the people of their generation and of generations to come. Fitzgerald says that he book is a sum of the experiences he has had in his life and that the book only took him three minutes to conceive because of the struggles, we can assume he had. In saying, "An author ought to write for .... the critics of the next", Fitzgerald is implying implying that he knows what he is saying will be remembered because of the generation of writers. I think his title "The Author's Apology" is an act of sarcasim and rebellion.]]> 2016-12-05 18:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/141843287 aqmcabee https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/141845815 American writers, in the 20's, left the United States to live in Europe. These expatriates, people who left their native country to live elsewhere, often settled in Paris. American writer Gertrude Stein called them the "Lost Generation." They moved frantically from one European city to another, trying to find meaning in life. Life empty of meaning is the theme of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (1925).  This source has the theme of someone trying really hard to find something that is chasing behind them. The optimism the writes had is show when the author writes, "Gatsby believed in the green light, the ... future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther".]]> 2016-12-05 18:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/141845815 aqmcabee https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/141899296 Values: a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life.

This term would stick with the authors of this time for the rest of decades. The quote is explaining that members of the lost generation are never going to succeed in life. She basically said that all the troops and people involved in the war were lost in life. They'll never recover or go anywhere in their lives.]]> 2016-12-05 22:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/141900819 aqmcabee https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/141903134 During the 1920's, post WWi, literary art forms such as, art and literature were called the Lost Generation. In literature, the "Lost Generation" refers to a group of writers and poets of both men and women of this period. The term the Lost Generation was introduced by Gertrude Stein, a modernist American writer. Instead of facing the horrors of warfare, many worked to create an idealised but unattainable image of the past. A refined, attractive  image with no bearing in reality. All involved in this Generation were American, but several members emigrated to Europe. The most famous members were Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and T. S. Eliot. These people were the most famous because their literary arts read of the way authors during this time felt. Their writings had themes of cynicism, a theme that the writer would create a world without a solid family foundation or any moral values that "should" be found in the home. The Lost Generation writers revealed the cheap nature of the shallow, foolish lives of the young people and the wealthy in the aftermath of the war. They used the high following they gained to spread their beliefs all around the world.]]> 2016-12-05 23:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/141903134 aqmcabee https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/142093328 The members of the Lost Generation, dissatisfied with direction America was heading, saw the cities of Europe as centers of progress. A place where individuals could enjoy greater personal freedom and thriving culture. The Lost Generation changed society by its mass influence over an American literature audience in the 20's. The literature during this time period was so influential that the books are still read today in American schools all over the country. American literature in the 1920's forced all readers to sense what the Writers of the Lost Generation felt. The writings of these authors included themes of Decadence, Gender Roles, and Idealist past. In their novels restories on such topics added to their importance. Because of the high following they gained, their influence spanned the entire world. Ernest Hemingway writes about friendship, stoicism, and natural grace under pressure are offered as the values that matter in an otherwise amoral and often senseless world in his novel, The Sun Also Rises.This was an attempt at gaining the attention of his audience and figuatively telling them what he feels is the problem their society. ]]> 2016-12-06 17:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/142093328 aqmcabee https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/142194945 2016-12-07 02:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aqmcabee/56okuialktmp/wish/142194945
