Question

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. daisy was my second cousin once removed, and id known tom in college. and just after the war i spent two days with them in chicago. her husband, among various physical accomplishments, had been one of the most powerful ends that ever played football at new haven—a national figure in a way, one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty - one that everything afterward savours of anticlimax. his family were enormously wealthy—even after the telephone, but i in college his freedom with money was a matter for reproach—but now hed left chicago and come east in a fashion that rather took your breath away: for instance, hed brought down a string of polo ponies from lake forest. it was hard to realize that a man in my own generation was wealthy enough to do that. why they came east i dont know. they had spent a year in france for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there unrestfully where people played polo and were rich together. this was a permanent move, said daisy over the telephone, but i didnt believe it—i had no sight into daisys heart, but i felt that tom would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game. and so it happened that on a warm windy evening i drove over to east egg to see two old friends whom i scarcely knew at all. their house was even more elaborate than i expected, a cheerful red - and - white georgian colonial mansion, overlooking the bay. the lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun dials and brick walks and burning gardens—finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines as though from the momentum of its run. the front was broken by a line of french windows, glowing now with reflected gold and wide open to the warm windy afternoon, and tom buchanan in riding clothes was standing with his legs apart on the front porch. 1. what does the diction used to describe the homes in west egg versus east egg suggest about the residents of each place? rl.3, rl.4 2. how does fi create moo
