Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, and passed away on December 21, 1940. As an American novelist, he illustrated the lavishness and extravagance prevalent during the Jazz Age. Although he achieved considerable popularity and wealth during his lifetime, much of his critical recognition came posthumously. He is widely considered a prominent figure of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s and is now regarded as one of the finest American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald wrote four completed novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. A posthumous release, The Last Tycoon, was an unfinished work.
"Winter Dreams" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that debuted in Metropolitan Magazine in December 1922, and later included in the collection All the Sad Young Men in 1926. It is regarded as one of his best stories and is frequently featured in anthologies.

C) The dream was gone
D) Something had been taken from him
In "Attack the Water," Mirikitani employs concrete language to paint striking images of the human impact of warfare.
Concrete language enhances sensory experience. A concrete term directly appeals to one of the five senses.
This form of language allows readers to clearly grasp the topic at hand, whether it pertains to a location, event, individual, or other subjects, by providing specific details and identifying information. Writing may become dull, unclear, or ambiguous without the use of concrete language.
