The Mary Jane in question is Mary Jane Wilks, one of the three nieces of late Peter Wilks. At this point in the plot, Huck has already decided that he will help Jim, his fugitive slave friend to escape to a free state. Because he has been brought up in the Slave South, he thinks that such an action makes him a bad person and that he will go to hell.

Additionally, he knows that the Duke and the King are con men who intend to steal the Wilks nieces inheritance and although he disagrees he dares not to expose them and he feels remorse and shame due to that. Since Mary Jane offers to pray for him, he considers that it would take an amount of prayers far greater than Mary Jane can produce to be able to save such a “horrible” person as him.

What are some differences between the homes on East Egg (a richer area) and those on West Egg? Check all of the boxes that apply
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

West Egg homes imitate old styles, while East Egg homes were made when those styles were first designed.

The narrator describes his first impressions of East Egg with light, dreamy imagery and those of West Egg with dark, shadowy imagery.

Explanation:

The setting of <em>The Great Gatsby</em> is very significant to the plot of the story. The story is about the lavish lifestyle and overindulgence that characterized the 1920s in America. The setting contributes to establishing this by highlighting the differences between West Egg and East Egg. West Egg is not as wealthy as East Egg, and the humble setting of West Egg is used to emphasize the decadence of East Egg. East Egg has older, grander homes. The area is also described with light, dreamy imagery, as opposed to the dark, shadowy one that is used to describe West Egg.
