This research is about "The Lost Generation Phenomena In The
Early 20th Century As Seen Through F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of
Paradise and the researcher will focus on finding how far the "Lost
Generation" phenomena can be seen through the situation of American
young generation in the early of 20th century. This research will focus on the
case of religion, social norm, and education in the social and cultural
condition. Since this thesis carries out American Study, thus it will use more
than one theories and approaches because it discusses more than one issue,
namely the structural theory and sociological approach. The structural
theory contributes in understanding the novel by analyzing the intrinsic
elements of the novel. The sociological approach helps the researcher to
understand the human relations in the American conditions in the early 20th
century and discusses the interactions among the characters of the novel.
Using those methods, the researcher explains the parts in the novel
which were included in the lost of religion, lost of norm and lost of
education. The lost of religion�s behavior are enjoying life too much,
smoking, drinking too much. The lost of social norm's behavior are having a
date, kissing. The lost of education's behavior are quitting from the study
and cutting the class.
As the result of the analysis, the researcher concludes that some of
young generations in the novel have left their puritan mind which explain
about the religion, norm and education. They became lost because they had
forgotten the forefather's inheritance. This phenomena is found in the young
generation, so they are called as the 'Lost Generation' by their society
