Question 5 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_1001370_English 3_S2_2015
West Egg’s houses imitate older architectural styles; Gatsby’s mansion, for example, is described as an imitation of a French hôtel de ville. East Egg’s homes represent the established old-money style rather than newer copies. The narrator’s first impressions also contrast the settings: East Egg’s white houses glitter across the bay, while West Egg’s description of Gatsby’s house emphasizes its strange, shadowy quality. East Egg is described as more fashionable, so D reverses the contrast.
