Similarly, “The Rich Kid” is narrated by a first-person, observational narrator, who is a confidant of Anson. The narrator is compassionate towards Anson, but looks at him objectively and says that rich people “…are different from you and me” (Fitzgerald “Rich” 318). He looks at Anson objectively because sympathizing with Anson means he will “have nothing to show but an absurd movie” (Fitzgerald “Rich” 318). So, the narrator sticks to his point of view and recounts the events, including himself only when he talks to Anson, which rarely happens. “The Bridal Party” features a third-person omniscient narrator who is not part of the story. The narrator simply observes and narrates the actions that occur in the story, such as when Michael The Great Gatsby is set in New York and Long Island, in the two places known as “West Egg” and “East Egg”. East Egg is where aristocrats live, who have had money for generations. West Egg includes middle and lower class people who have earned money during their lifetime. They are despised by the East Eggers, including Daisy, who is an East Egger, never attends parties of Gatsby, who is a West Egger. One of the most important locations in the novel is the “Valley of Ashes,” a desolate wasteland on the way from New York and Long Island. The valley where “the highway hastily joins the railroad” and sometimes has “a fearful creak” (Fitzgerald Gatsby 23). It represents the destruction of modern society as the byproducts of the trains go there. However, it is also the place where Myrtle dies, which indicates how the moral bankruptcy of large cities ends up in smaller towns as well. Through this Fitzgerald portrays what New York symbolizes: a place where match-fixing can occur, where lavish parties are held, and where money is used ruthlessly by rich and bizarre people. The setting allows Fitzgerald to portray the wealthy society of the 1920s and its destruction. His privileged upbringing is such that he can "grow up to be righteous and successful men" (Fitzgerald "Rich" 319). After completing his studies at Yale, Anson moved to New York and worked on Wall Street at a brokerage firm. In New York he attended “debutante parties” and “gentlemen's clubs,” living an extravagant lifestyle that makes him arrogant and selfish (Fitzgerald “Rich” 319). Through Anson's actions, Fitzgerald further portrays the lifestyle of New York's wealthy. However, New York reminds Anson of the special moments he shared with Paula and Dolly in the city, causing him to become depressed as a result. As a result, Anson goes to Paris and the narrator notes “the first joviality I have seen him exhibit in months” (Fitzgerald “Rich” 348). Anson learns to move forward in life and through this represents the fast-paced life of New York, which does not allow an individual to slow down and pull themselves together. Fitzgerald describes the ability of cities to change a person, positively or negatively
