The following is an excerpt from a student paper about F. Scott
Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. It contains errors.
(1) The term the "Lost Generation" was coined by Gertrude Stein to
describe the group of American expatriate authors and artists living im
Paris in the 1920s and 30s. (2) However, the term can also be used mo
generally. (3) It could describe any person who experienced his or her
coming of age in the time period during and shortly after World War I.
F. Scott Fitzgerald gave many of his characters in his most famous now
The Great Gatsby, especially Nick and Gatsby, qualities that defined
members of the "Lost Generation".
