Post 2



1. Based on what is told about the "Valley of Ashes"; it is a place that produces ash or dust just like a farm that produces vegetables all around the area without stopping, pretty much a dumping ground. It's symbolic to show where poor people would live during the time period. It was a place to dump ashes by using the train to do so. T.J. Eckleburg is pretty much and overseer to look after the "Valley of Ashes" and its people living there.

2. Described from the book, Wilson was a blond, spiritless, anemic and faintly handsome man. Wilson ask tom when is he going to sell a car to him and tom told him next week because his friend is working on it, when Wilson replied to that by that he works kind of slow, Tom completely changed from being happy to cold and telling Wilson that if he feels that way then he might just sell it to someone else. Tom was a little uncomfortable on how tom treated him, I felt mad from how Tom treated Wilson and his wife treated him as if he was a ghost.

3. The significance would be the fact that the rich has power over the poor, making that tom could tell the man what to do.

4. "At a man named Gatsby's. Do you know him?" pg. 36, "Neither of them can stand the person they're married to." pg. 37, "It's really his wife that's keeping them apart." pg. 38, " I married him because I thought he was a gentleman". pg. 39,

5.To show where the poor would live, how they was treated,  and tell how Tom really is.
