Question #1:

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

In the novel by Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, the story took place in New York City during the 1920's in the west and east egg. The setting of The Great Gatsby develops an emotional effect on us, or the readers, by showing that Nick is happy being either rich or poor.

  1. I think I know what you mean, but maybe you can expand your response a bit more by adding details, facts or examples so we, the readers can get the idea of how the setting plays an important role in the novel.
