UbD & F. Scott Fitzgerald

After reading the UbD and the biography on F. Scott Fitzgerald, I am very excited to read The Great Gatsby. I can see through the Great Gatsby preview paper that this book will be a lot about America and trying to live the American dream. A lot of the essential questions for The Great Gatsby have to do with America and making the most of some one's life. I fee that money will also be a key factor in this book. In the bio it states that F. Scott Fitzgerald had man issues with money and finances. I feel that the Great Gatsby will be about money issues in America and doing the best you can do and try to be successful. I also feel that romance will also be a key theme in the tory, considering the author had many issues with women and relationships. I feel that reading the background knowledge before reading the book is going to be very helpful. I now understand more about the book and the person who wrote the book.
