In The Great Gatsby, as is the same in any story, the setting is important because it helps set the tone (the author's attitude) and the mood (the reader's feelings) of the story. It also gives you a visual of a time one is not familiar with since it is set several years ago. The setting is also important to appeal to imagery (or all of your senses). Without the setting, one cannot place characters accurately or understand the actions of characters if they do not know the appropriate time, place, etc.

The setting of the novel is important, in part, because it provides a great cover for Gatsby and Daisy's affair. It also symbolizes the social strata in this society.

Hey! This was really tough to figure out. But I am really sure the type of narration used in the excerpt is Third Person Limited. The words that stand out to me the most, when it comes to making this claim was "at the age of six" and that "knew she felt it" because the narrator knew about the character's back story, however it is only pertained to the main character, which is Maisie. The effect of this point of view, is that it shows a very detailed representation of what is going through the character's mind and giving somewhat more of a description about Maisie and her story.
