Yes I think it is. The narrator describes Gatsby’s home as a mansion and his lifestyle is luxurious and lavish with being so rich and wealthy. And we learned about how people in that time were rich and famous, it was called the roaring 20’s because of the luxious time in American history. And it does live up to the expectation in Gatsby.

Fitzgerald's depiction of their near New York area is on point with what I imagined about the 1920's (from what we've discussed).
"Already it was deep summer on roadhouse roofs and in front of wayside garages, where new red gas-pumps sat out in pools of light, and when I reached my estate at West Egg I ran the car under its shed and sat for a while on an abandoned grass roller in the yard. The wind had blown off, leaving loud, bright night, with wings beating in the trees and a persistent organ sound as the full bellows of the earth blew the frogs full of life" (20).
This particular quote describes the setting as 'loud' and 'bright', but still manages a calm area. The frogs are making noise and it is windy. It's a simple landscape, with the distant yet close city buzzing with their new technology (as we learned about). There are also many mentions of surrounding houses and a lake, which coincides with the wealthy theme of thee 1920's.

Yes I do, because it's pretty obvious how much money is floating around. And how the difference between the two "eggs". Where Nick lived in the West Egg which was still fairly well off. As Nick says "My house was at the very tip of the egg, only fifty yards from the Sound, and squeezed between two huge places that rented for twelve or fifteen thousand a season"(5).

It describes and displays that rich lifestyle that most of them lived in the 20’s. It’s shown through their rich houses and fancy clothing and even their attitudes. It talks of how peope are born with “fundamental decencies” and how most rich do people do not have that and are usually snobbish. Like the 20’s it shows how everything is about money and riches and that’s how people are categorized back then either the rich or poor. This first chapter just really helps to display that I think.

Yes, people with a lot of money are talked about and how they show it off with expensive houses and expensive objects. In the west egg a lot of rich people live. Not everything we’ve learned about the 1920s was mentioned, it’s mostmy just been about the money so far.

I believe that what we learned about the 1920's is consist ant with what we witnessed in the book. Even though we didn't witness a party (yet) we know can infer that this time was very roaring. During Nick Carraway's flashback we see that he grows up to hate the loose morals and raucous way of life, "I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever..."
Also just the mansions imply a very affluent lifestyle and supercilious attitudes. Here he describes Tom and Daisy's impressive mansion, " 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..."

yes because in the first chapter they were talking about how different the west egg and the east egg is from each other. the east egg is a lot more fancy then the west egg because a lot of people who live their have a lot money. Nick also lives next to a big mansion, gatspy lives there. I feel like houses in the 1920s weren’t as seperated as they are now.

I say yes because I just shows how the way worked in his dipiction of the book the vocab and how the book and how the words are phrased

Yes, I believe that Fitzgerald's depiction is consistent with what I have learned about the Roaring Twenties. One is that many whites during this time thought of themselves as the dominant race. The text supports this by saying " ' It's up to us, who are the dominant race, to watch out or these other races will have control of things' " (13). Another aspect that Fitzgerald gets about the 1920s was the style of the upper class. Fitzgerald writes this in the text, where he says "They knew that presently dinner would be over and a little later the evening, too, would be over and casually put away. It was sharply different from the West, where an evening was hurried from phase to phase toward its close, in a continually disappointed anticipation or else in sheer nervous dread of the moment itself" (12).

Yes because we talk about a lot of rich people flexing their money when they can shown on page 2 nick says “The one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard-it was a factual imitation of some Hôtel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden.

Fitzgerald’s depiction is consistent with what we have learned about the 1920s. In the book we see alot of rich people and in the 1920s there was alot  of rich people who like to party.

I think that Fitzgerald's depiction are consistent with what we have learned about the 1920's.We learned about wealth during this time period. Wealth is shown everywhere throughout the book and describes the houses, etc.

One of the most significant things that stuck out to me as "thats so 20's" was on page 3, when Nick tells us about how he participated in the great war, also known as World War 1. To me even the way Fitzgerald depicts women, is very to the times, on page 17, Daisy discusses her daughter and says that she hopes she grows up to be a beautiful fool, which I think is relevant because at this point in time it was important to be able to find a husband and trophy wives were every which way, back then as a woman, the more you knew the worse.

I think that it is 100% consistent with what we have learned. Mrs. S said that his writing was very eloquent and flowing and that is almost a perfect description of his writing. The words just roll of the tongue. I think his writing is just amazing. The descriptions he gives about how he is acting and how he is feeling are so accurate and make me know and feel exactly how he is feeling.
" Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth bit there was an excitement i her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget"(9)

It's the same that we talked about during the 1920s, as we read along the narrator describes the amount of riches that are going around during this time and how great the cities and the wealth is for every american not just for the higher ups of society also in the lower class.

# data[].attributes.body
We talked a lot about all the wealthy people during the 1920s and going to the parties and how it might effect their relationship with friends and family. In chapter 1 it talked a lot about Gatsby's mansion and all the huge houses and traveling all around the world. If found it interesting that Nick thought, " it was hard to realize that a man in my own generation was wealthy enough to do that" (6). Gatsby brought down a string of ponies. I think during this chapter it kind of set the scene of the people in the 1920's and how they acted with their money.

In the first chapter of the Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald past depiction somewhat reflects the character of Nick Caraway. In the novel, Nick moves to New York to start with the bond business, just like how Fitzgerald moved to New York for new opportunities. Also just like Fitzgerald, Nick went to the Great War. In the novel it is stated, "I enjoyed the counter-raid so thoroughly that I came back restless. Instead of being warm in the center of the world, the Middle West now seemed like the ragged edge of the niverse--so I decided to go east to learn the bond business" (3).

Nick Harroway described in detail the two enormous eggs known as Long Island. He mentioned his small subtle house wedged in between," Two huge places that rented for twelve or fifteen thousand a season"(5). This showed how wealthy people were and how dedicated they were to being flashy and extravagant about how they live. The way he explained the houses surrounding  him represents the culture of the nineteen twenties.

Fitzgerald's descriptions are consistent with what we have learned about the 1920's. Of course the first chapter doesn't include all the parts of the 1920's, but it definitely includes the rich, lavish part. Some characters mentioned in this chapter, Daisy and Tom, "spent a year in France for no particular reason" (6). This is something that only the extremely wealthy are able to do, and they were very prominent during the time of the 1920's.
