The 1920's, or also known as the roaring twenties was all about Jazz. Everyone was out dancing and there were alot of fashion fad.

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote many of his short stories about his relationships with his wife, Zelda. They have the general American life, they talk about their ups and downs and all the other joys and losses.
