The purpose of this thesis is to find the influences of places. Fitzgerald uses the places where he lived as a setting of his short stories. The use of setting helps him dramatize his perspectives of life. Fitzgerald uses “White Bear Lake,” “Manitou Island,” and “White Bear Yacht Club” as a setting of “Winter Dreams.” White Bear Lake began to develop as a summer resort when St. Paul Duluth Railroad was set in 1868. Twin City Rapid Transit Company also connected St. Paul and White Bear Lake in 1899. Fitzgerald used this Twin City Rapid Transit to visit White Bear Yacht Club when summer dance was held. Fitzgerald also visited there to perform his play: Coward and Assorted Spirits. Though accidents occurred during the play, he managed well to proceed the play. These experiences are reflected in “Captured Shadow.” The Fitzgeralds were not rich enough to have a summer house around White Bear Lake. He stayed at his friend's summer house and talked late at night. Poetic scenery of this lake (Black Bear Lake in the story) shows his powerful visions and descriptive skills. In collecting his short stories in All the Sad Young Men, Fitzgerald revises the stories to some extent. He did not want to be regarded as a popular writer in magazines. He wanted to be regarded as an artist. Fitzgerald often changes settings in the story to make the story impressive. Some differences between the story of Metropolitan Magazine version and the story of All the Sad Young Men version shows his desire to be regarded as a novelist. Long Island gives Fitzgerald a beautiful setting for The Great Gatsby. Life at Ellerslie is also useful to write a chaotic life in Tender Is the Night.
