Question #1.

1. How has the setting (time and place) been used in this chunk to develop an emotional effect on the reader?

-The setting is always an important element in any story. It does not only contribute to its essence, but it also reveals related issues and symbolism that would help readers have a better understanding of what's going on. In Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the setting takes place in New York during the 1920's. Prosperity and good life reigns during this era which prevails in the story. During this time it was all about the money and the good life that people of New York has been experiencing. It was focused about the character's pride and glory and nothing else. The setting creates a perfect emotional effect on the reader like selfishness, envious, corruption, competition, dishonesty and injustice. All these words revolve around the setting due to the fact that the characters are blinded by their luxurious lifestyles.
