1) How has the setting (time and place) been used in this chunk to develop an emotional effect on the reader?
The setting of a story always symbolizes a great deal of what the story is about. In the novel by Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, the story is set during the 1920's New York. During this time great prosperity was present in society. And since it was set during the time of economic development you would also understand that there are many emotions which are prevalent throughout the story. Like greed, envy, corruption, hypocrisy, and the like. With that depth of the meaning of the setting readers would understand the very feelings of the characters in this story.

This is a good answer but I don't think there is greed showing.
