This Side of Paradise is his first novel, published in 1920. It is the novel that makes him stand out overnight. The novel not only vividly reflects the disillusion of American dream, but it also shows the mental outlook of the upper class at the time. At the moment, foreign research on Fitzgerald is more comprehensive, with distinctive features. The studies of many lifetimes are mainly based on the experience of the writer and its influence on his creation. Ruth Prigozy revealed unknown experience of Fitzgerald in The Unpublished Stories Fitzgerald in His Final Stage. Scott Donaldson introduced and interpreted autobiography works of Fitzgerald in The Crisis of Fitzgeralds Crack-Up and he tried to look for ego remains in Fitzgeralds novels. Richard Lehan explored literature creating idea and his life experiences influence on creation in F. Scott Fitzgerald and Romantic Destiny. The studies on his creation thought mainly focus on his works significance in the present age and profound critical thinking. Leo and Miriam Gurko analyzed that Fitzgeralds novel represented his own experience and thought and it was personal experiential creation in The Essence of F. Scott Fitzgerald. At the same time, it also reflected overall, general experience and ideas of a young generation, so it was popular creation. Stephen L. Tanner in Fitzgeralds Lost City expounded figures lostness in the novel. Mitchell Breitwieser emphasized strong power of reappearing social situation in Jazz Fractures: F. Scott Fitzgerald and Epochal Representation. Beyond that, Lewis A. Turlish pointed that there was feature of space-time by historical relativity theory in The Rising Tide of Color: A Note on the Historicism of The Great Gatsby. Furthermore, Roger L. Pearson deeply analyzed the results of disillusioned American dream in Gatsby: False Prophet of the American Dream. Whats more, those studies on creation art begin to study Fitzgeralds creation according to the artistic form and they intend to show that Fitzgerald is a literary artist with consummate art. Glenn Settle specifically analyzed the way to shaping the hero by the voice. Frances Kerr discussed the technique of expression of art in Fitzgeralds works. Giles Gunn explored the feature of his novels imagination and M. Bettina studied the technique of molding images. M. Bettina analyzed Fitzgeralds excellent skill at creating typical characters in The Artifact in Imagery: Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby. Besides, Arnold Weinsteinz analyzed artistic invention and counted it as one of one of the basic ways of artistic creation in Fiction as Greatness: The Case of Gatsby. In addition, Carmen W. Holsberry emphasized the authors feature of modern and post-modern literature creation in Faulkner, Fitzgerald, and Pynchon: Modernism and Postmodernism in Secondary School.In general, the views of foreign research are innovative and its discussion is rigorous. It provides detailed information and new perspectives for further studies on Fitzgerald. Domestic studies consist of general evaluation research on creation and detailed research. In the early research, Dong Hengxun analyzed Fitzgeralds creation thought, artistic feature and writing style. He affirmed Fitzgeralds creation thought, artistic feature and compared him with Hemingway, Dreiser and Steinbeck. Moreover, he explored psychological characteristics of young peoples disillusion. Beyond that, Wu Ningkun translated and published Fitzgeralds novels, describing Fitzgeralds literary career, creation thought and artistic achievements. Besides, American Literature History written by Zhu Hong, Shi Xianrong and Li Wenjun truly showed the writers style. Qin Xiaomeng highly praised Fitzgeralds artistic achievements and regarded him as one of the best novelists in American literature.In recent years, the studies of our countrys scholars on Fitzgerald make great progress and those studies are mainly concentrated on some excellent theses. The studies on his creation thought apply critical theory to discuss great significance of his works. In Re-interpretation of Fitzgeralds Female View, Jiang Guihong analyzed his female view by female images of his novels. Han Wei explored the reasons of womens degradation in Fallen Angel of the Jazz Age. Besides, Li Baofeng analyzed money worship of women in On Women in the Circle of Money of Fitzgeralds Novels. Moreover, in Youth Culture and Literary Expression of Jazz Age, Bao Congying made comprehensive survey on Jazz Age from the perspective of young peoples thought and features. Wang Dongmei expounded the formation and manifestation of American dream of Fitzgeralds works by social theory in Fitzgerald and His American Dream.Taken to together, the studies of our country on Fitzgerald still have some problems. The study angle is similar, for example, many people interpret female images of his novels by feminism. The studies primarily focus on the analysis of ideological contents, while they are less about artistic form from the view of aesthetic. In addition, those studies lack the discussion of the ideological feature of characters lostness. For this reason, the thesis will analyze characters lostness of his novel.As one of the representative writers of the Lost Generation, Fitzgerald created many novels whose characters were full of puzzlement about life. The thesis will analyze the hero Amory Blaines life experience to explore how young people get confused about life in their growth from the perspective of his first novel This Side of Paradise. It consists of four parts. Chapter One mainly describes the difficult process of the novels success and its influence. Chapter Two deals with the reasons of Amorys puzzlement, including social background, crisis of belief and his life experience. Chapter Three studies the manifestation of Amorys puzzlement in details. Chapter Four explores how Amory wants to look for a way out. 本科生毕业论文设计题目 在成长道路上的迷失 浅析菲茨杰拉德的人间天堂 作者姓名 XXX 指导教师 XXX 所在学院 XXX学院 专业（系） 英语教育 班级（届） XXXX级X班 完成日期 XXXX 年 5 月 8 日Being Lost in the Process of Growing up Brief Analysis of Fitzgeralds This Side of ParadiseBYXXXProf. XXX , TutorA Thesis Submitted to Department of English Language and Literature in PartialFulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of B.A in EnglishAt XXXX UniversityMay 8th ,XXXX摘要弗朗西斯斯科特菲茨杰拉德是美国二十世纪“迷惘的一代”的代表作家之一。1920年出版的小说人间天堂是他的处女作，正是这部惊世之作使得年轻的菲茨杰拉德一夜成名。它是一部记录菲茨杰拉德本人生活经历的自传体小说，其故事情节很简单，但是思想内容却相当深邃，引起人们对人生的思索。在小说中，菲茨杰拉德以生动的笔触向读者展现了美国“迷惘的一代”形成初期严重的道德混乱和精神危机，逼真地描述了这一代人在成长道路上所遇到的种种困惑与挫折。本文主要通过分析阿莫瑞的人生经历来探讨年轻人如何在成长的道路上变得迷惘。它包括四个部分：第一章主要讨论该小说成名的艰难历程及其影响；第二章从社会背景、精神危机、成长经历来分析阿莫瑞的困惑；第三章对阿莫瑞的困惑做了具体的描述；第四章旨在探究阿莫瑞想如何走出困惑。关键词 菲茨杰拉德 迷惘的一代 困惑 成长 AbstractFrancis Scott Fitzgerald is one of the representative writers of the Lost Generation in American literature, in the 1920s.

Amory Blaines Thinking19 Conclusion21 Notes22 Bibliography23 vIntroduction After the First World War, the social value of America was gradually changing during the 1920s. People abandoned the traditional Puritan ethic, while they began to pursue material pleasure. Francis Scott Fitzgerald is just the author of that time. This Side of Paradise is his first novel. The publication of the novel made Fitzgerald a spokesman for the Lost Generationand a prophet of the Jazz Age. As the spokesman, Fitzgerald wrote down his strong feelings about the Jazz Age by his own passion and trenchant pen. The hero of This Side of Paradise is the reflection of his life and his creative prototype is right from his life experience. Therefore, his life journey explains his novels and in turn his novels give proper explanatory notes for his mystery life. It is like his own words, I see something that seems to be unbelievable, untrue and impossible becoming reality. Francis Scott Fitzgerald was born in a middle class family and his father was a businessman, so he could afford to go to a privative school and later he entered Princeton University to receive regular education. In his early time, Fitzgerald showed his talent for writing. At the age of thirteen, he published his first works. At school, he was fond of writing for the journal of the school, which made him gain considerable fame at the time. However, his love for writing and his illness made him neglect his studies. When he returned to school, he found that he had lost his passion. Although his family was no longer prosperity and he tasted hardships of life too early, he still hoped that one day he could gain certain fame by himself. Fitzgerald wanted to get rid of difficulties of studies and to change his fate though the war, so he joined the army. During that time, he became to write his first novel and he got off with a young lady Zelda Sayre. The love for Zelda Sayre strengthened his thirst for success. However, before he went to the battlefield, the war had ended. Therefore, Fitzgerald could not realize his dreams by war. His manuscript was returned and Zelda Sayre left him, which was a huge attack. He came back to his hometown and continued writing his novel. He put his affection and experience into his novel, so his novel was the reflection of his life. Like Fitzgerald, Amory Blaine aspired to become a famous person, but their dreams were different from the social value. As a result, it was inevitable that their belief would be disillusioned. This Side of Paradise depicts that a group of American young people only pursue material pleasure and are at a loss about life in the process of growing up. The novel describes the end of one age and the coming of another new age,
