My daughter is writing a report on F Scott Fitzgerald for school. She read that he was eating a candy bar when he suddenly had a heart attack. My daughter was wondering if anyone knows what type of candy bar he was eating!
Anyone know?
A Hersey bar according the the last paragraph here: http://www.findadeath.com/Deceased/F/F.Scott%20Fitzgerald/f.htm
Thanks! It’s funny the things that fascinate a ten-year-old!
If she switches to Nestle, now you’ll know why.
Replace “candy bar” with “Sheila Graham.”
That’s going to be a tricky one to put in a school report.
Especially in fourth grade!
I think it is interesting. I try to maitain the sense of wonder and curiosity that children have and so many adults loose along the way.
Are you at all curious about spelling? ![]()
mmm
My curiosity got loose once and I never was able to catch it.
A loose bit my sister once.
Or was it a moose?
Did she maitain her sense of wonder?
mmm
Replace Sheila Graham with Real Magi Hash. ![]()
I love F. Scott. I had no idea he died eating a candy bar though. And that’s one terrible tie he had in 1938. Sort of coincidentally I’m in the middle of a little known novella of his called May Day**.
How fitting; according to Eve, he died while he was going down.
