I posted this sometime back, I'm going to post it again, it's about Zelda

[Daze]

Zelda was Scott Fitzgerald’s wife

and she had schizophrenia

I read a bio book on her life story

she wanted to be a writer too

but he thought she was ripping him off

Scott’s bread and butter was his stories, or short fiction,

not his novels, and he paid dearly for her hospital stays

she was using a method of having a drill sargent over you

extreme exercise, diet, and routine or everything on a schedule

back in the day the two of them lived a lavish lifestyle

they were one of the most popular couples of their time

her writing is hard to follow, a lot is word salad, but she kept doing it

she was doing better and went to live with her mother for some reason

Paul was a big fan, and he got in touch with her and came to visit

it was an early spring day, but warm, and Zelda wore a heavy, long thick coat

as they went walking downtown. They came upon two school girls walking by them

and the one girl said to other, “That’s that crazy woman I was telling you about.”

Zelda heard it, and said to Paul, “I’m not feeling well, I want to go home.”

She went back into the hospital, and there was a fire, and she died.

She told her mother upon leaving that she wasn’t afraid of death,

too eery that she almost predicted it.

That’s very interesting. I had to Google Zelda Fizgerald.

Here’s the Wikipedia article about her.

We had to read the great gatsby in high school. I prefer something by Pearl S Buck.

She died in a hospital in Asheville, NC. That’s not that far from where i live.

I had to read the Great Gatsby in high school too. I just recently read This Side of Paradise. They were both good.

The only book they had us read at the hippie school was The Great Gatsby. Don’t know why

I read ‘Zelda.’ it was sad that her life while mentally ill had changèd her from her days as a high spitit. Went home to live with her mother -

I remember reading The Great Gatsby in high school. I remember it was pretty good.

the great gatsby must be common in school because we read it too then watched the movie. i remember asking the teacher about one part of the movie i seen was when gatsby was pulled over by a cop and he showed him a card and the cop just let them go. the teacher said we dont know what he showed the cop lol. it was a good story.

She’s the inspiration for my ‘name’ here. I agree she’s an interesting and talented character. There is a mini series on Amazon Prime about them as a couple. She was a pretty good painter as well.
