Answer and Explanation:
Vonnegut's letter and 1984 are showing how the hiding of messages and concepts is done by people who are in power to manipulate, alienate and limit people's access to information that will make them reason.
These two works show how the reasoning of the mass, of the people is dangerous for the powerful and for that reason, they will try their best to deny any type of media that encourages racism at the expense of alienation. This occurs through the censorship of books, the denial of historical facts and the positioning as a figure that contains the truth and that must be followed. This occurs through manipulation.
However, even in the midst of these similarities, these two works present some differences, mainly regarding the level of power of the active manipulative force. In Vonnegut's letter, this force has a more domestic power and is limited to a region, which shows that the capacity for manipulation may be closer to what we imagine and it is necessary to perceive and fight it. In 1984, the manipulative force is something comprehensive, governmental and greater, which has the power to interfere in absolutely any factor and any element of human knowledge.
"The great Gatsby" contains many symbols open to the interpretation of those who are reading the book and relating them to the themes presented in the story. One of these symbols is Dr. Eckleberg’s eyes, which are painted on a billboard facing the Valley of the Ashes (a dangerous, demoralized, ugly place resulting from the greed of the rich).
These eyes can represent the eyes of God, judging the greed, pride and dehumanization of American society that is always in search of wealth and goods, even if it implies the destruction of other people and the sadness of many.
This meaning is related to the "American dream" that is portrayed as one of the themes of this book. Thus, the billboard sends the message of how the American dream can be empty and disadvantageous in some situations.
