Answer 2

F. Scott Fitzgerald was a spokesperson for his generation by capturing the spirit and complexities of the Jazz Age through his writing. His novels, such as "The Great Gatsby," explored themes of materialism, disillusionment, and societal change that resonated with the cultural trends of the 1920s. Fitzgerald's works provided a mirror for the values and struggles of the post-World War I generation.
