Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born in September 24, 1896 and died in December 21, 1940. He was an American fiction writer, whose works helped to illustrate the ostentation and excess of the Jazz Age. While he reached popular success, fame, and fortune in his lifetime, he did not receive much critical acclaim until after his death. He was Perhaps the most notable member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s.

Fitzgerald is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He finished rich novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, was published after his death.

<u>The "single green light" on Daisy's dock that Gatsby gazes wistfully at from his own house across the water represents the "unattainable dream".</u>

The ironic part of this symbol is that:

B. What Gatsby wants is behind him, in the past, not in front of him.

The answer is: [A]: weave them into the syntax of your own writing.
_______________________________________
This is the best answer and most preferred way to write an excellent essay.  By doing so; and by accurately citing source(s) in addition, one avoids plagiarism—especially "accidental plagiarism"—and even shows credibility and thorough efforts (and often results in higher marks in an academic setting!) at a well-planned, well thought-out, well-researched paper.
________________
Answer choice "B" is incorrect. This method is adamantly discouraged and often results in low grades in the academic settings; additionally, this method distracts and confuses the reader.
_______________________
Answer choice "C" is incorrect. One should not "pad" one's paper, or include excessive, irrelevant, superfluous quotations—and should definitely not make them "as long as possible"!  Doing so does NOT impress readers but rather distracts readers—and often leads to low marks in the academic setting.
_______________________
Answer choice "A" is the best answer.
