About Me

My name is Kelsey Woods and I am a junior at Northview High School.  I play the piano and sing and row at St. Andrew’s Rowing club.

fitzreading.jpg I chose the genre Modernism and F. Scott Fitzgerald for my multi-genre portfolio.  In my research I answered the question of what influenced Fitzgerald’s writing and how the time period he lived in had such a crucial affect on his writing as well.  For the creative portion, my short story includes 4 main elements of modernistic literature.  These 4 elements are as follows, Pessimism, alienation, stream of consciousness, and dislocation of meaning.
