As a high school junior, I am writing a paper on the Lost Generation, of which Fitzergald was a part. I read This Side of Paradise 2 years ago and found it absolutely amazing, though it does not capture the Roaring Twenties as Gatsby does. I think any high school or college male could relate to Amory and any female could relate to experiences with guys like Amory. This was just one of the many reasons I have chosen to write a 30 page paper on this topic.
