Collected Stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I have just finished Collected Stories of Scott Fitzgerald. It was very good. He had the stories organized under Flappers and Philosophers, and, Tales of The Jazz Age. Very fun and Fitting sections but, the titles were even nicer. My favorites were; Bernice bobs her hair, The offshore Pirate, The Four Fists, The Jelly Bean, and Porcelain and Pink. The one's with the best titles are the best stories. No reason, they just are. Simply genius. Each in their own way. I will write about each of the best individually in separate blogs. Because writing about them all here will take up a ton of room and they just simply can not be all squashed together. They were all very different in style and morale(I want to say morale but I don't know if that is the right word for what I mean). Bernice Bobs her Hair is tacky and wonderful with a great bit of spitefulness tossed in too. The offshore Pirate is snappy, stylish and romantic? Sort of, not really. The Four fists is nice and is available to be learned from. It's teaching in a "don't-do-this" kind of way. The Jelly Bean is sad, adorable and homely. Sort of like that kid at school you want to help but, can't because you're not good enough. Porcelain and Pink was one of the funniest things I have ever read. I'd love to do it as a play in drama. The bantering in the beginning reminded me of my sister and I. The ending didn't but, made it all the funnier. Silly, silly man, Mr. Calkins was a very good supporting character. Written so well, that I could imagine the color of his glasses and the length of his trousers.
