The author I have chosen is F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald wrote Tender is the Night and The Great Gatsby. The Great Gatsby is a prominent American classic that is enjoyed by most. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald ties in many themes such as the hope for the unreachable depicted in the green light, and the corruption of the 1920s. In Tender is the Night, Fitzgerald uses themes such as love, betrayal, and deceit. The reason why I chose Fitzgerald is because in his novels he ties in a plentiful amount of themes, both hidden and obvious. Fitzgerald’s books are page turning, best sellers that everybody should read and savor.
