Answer this question… F. Scott Fitzgerald
Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald were associated with the "Lost Generation" of writers, a group that emerged after World War I and rejected traditional values in favor of exploring the disillusionment and uncertainty of the post-war era. Their works often reflected themes of alienation, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in a changing world.
In "This Side of Paradise," F. Scott Fitzgerald illuminates the archetype of the "lost generation" through his use of characterization and setting. The protagonist, Amory Blaine, embodies the search for identity and purpose typical of the post-World War I generation. Fitzgerald's vivid descriptions of the post-war disillusionment and societal upheaval further highlight this archetype of a generation grappling with a sense of aimlessness and disconnection.
If you mean F. Scott Fitzgerald, he did not actually fight in any war. He was an officer in the American army during WWI, stationed at Montgomery AL, but did not accompany his unit when it was sent overseas. Eventually, he did board ship, but the ship returned when the Armistice was signed. Fitzgerald considered his failure to see combat one of his chief regrets.
