Answer:
He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.
Explanation:
F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," tells the story of Jay Gatsby and his unfulfilled dreams of trying to win back his former love which is the main and only purpose of his life. The story also deals with the theme of an American dream, the various obstacles that one encounters in life, and the evident social status that one maintains or tries to maintain to be "agreeable" for others.
In the given excerpt from the text, Nick, our narrator, describes his home. He agrees that his house at West Egg <em>"is an eyesore but it was a small eyesore"</em>. This seems to suggest that it was an eyesore for those living in East Egg but not that much as compared to the other houses in West Egg. This shows that <u>he is wealthy enough to live in a much better house than the others but at the same time, not wealthy enough to be able to reside in the "upper-class" East Egg side.

Answer:
Today was a good day, not only for me, but the environment too. On this special day, I got to see my family after a long time, and it was quite delightful. We had such a fun time, all while causing the least pollution to our beloved Earth. There were countless things we had done and I did not regret any of it. For one thing, we used candles, which saved electricity. The only thing I missed was the firecrackers, but that was okay, because it would allow us to live another year. Overall, it was a great time, and the fact that we were also helping the Earth, made it even better.
(hope this helped!)
