1. How has the setting (time and place) been used in this chunk to develop an emotional effect on the reader?
The setting was in New York in the 1920's. This has been used to develop an emotional effect on the reader by stating how the place and type of dwelling affects how people look at others. It also dictates how the characters in the story move or act towards other characters. The setting makes the readers understand why certain things are happening and why the characters act the way they do. Also, the setting affects the readers emotionally by stating things that are not far from happening like when Nick said that Gatsby represents everything that he hates and yet admires him because of the life he is living. He knew that rich people are stubborn and obnoxious and by what he saw Gatsby is definitely one of them but he still likes him. Just like in real life, there are people who hate the rich because there are times that they are annoying, selfish and you would just hate them for what they do yet people still admire them because of everything that they have.
