1. How has the setting (time and place) been used in this chunk to develop an emotional effect on the reader?
The setting is:
- 1920's, New York City
In New York in the 1920's there was a lot of prosperity, in the family home and the city itself. The setting in the Great Gatsby shows that prosperity. It shows this prosperity through Nick. Nick is the narator of the story so far, and is neither rich or poor. So in this way the setting of The Great Gatsby develops an emotional effect on us, the readers, by showing how Nick is happy while not being either rich nor poor.
