Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. I lived at West Egg, the—well, the less fashionable of the two, though this

is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them. . . . Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water, and the history of the summer really begins on the evening I drove over there to have dinner with the Tom Buchanans. Based on these descriptions, what inference can be made about the difference between West Egg and East Egg?

The Wealthy Residents of East Egg hide their unattractive qualities beneath the light and dreamy appearances.  

Further Explanation:

<u>The Great Gatsby was written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald in the year 1925 and it depicts the story of a fictional town named East Egg and West Egg which is situated in the long island and this story is from the period of the mid-1920s. </u>This story mainly focuses on Jay Gatsby who is the lead of this novel and he is obsessed with the beauty of former debutante named as Daisy Buchanan.  

The Great Gatsby is considered to be magnum opus by Fitzgerald. The author was very much inspired by the parties that used to take place during that time in long Island and he took ideas from those parties to wrote this novel. <u>In the above-given excerpt, the writer is talking about the wealthy people of the East Egg who had some kind of unattractive qualities but always managed to hide those beneath light and dreamy appearances.  </u>

<span>Based on the descriptions given, the inference that can be made is that although East Egg is the more fashionable place of the two, the way it appears on the surface is different compared to what it really is. Even though its glitzy with the white palaces that glitter along the water across the courtesy bay, it somewhat gives you a sense of foreboding that there’s more to it once you get past the doors of those palaces.</span>
