The Picture

In the book "The Great Gatsby" The town is devided into two sets, East Egg and West Egg. Eggs appear in the book alot. The symbolism of eggs applies to the people of East and West egg, Hard on the outside but messy and scattered on the inside. Meaning the people in the story are not what the appear to be. To the eye they all seem like they have it together and everything is well, but that if far from the truth. Cheating, Lieing, and Rumors are only a few of the daily things that go on daily.

*On the East Egg side, the people that live there are from new money.

*On the West Egg side, the people that live there are fom old money, usualy inhereted from the family.

*The main character in the book is Jay Gatsby. He lives on West Egg. But his money is not inhereted from his family. He Made all of his fortune himself.

*Nick (the na-rrator of the story) Is Gatsby's neighbor on the West Egg.
