Fitzgerald uses hapless false belief at the really start of the chapter to portray the narrator’s temper and emotions at the clip. such as ‘grey land’ . ‘bleak dust’ . ‘dimmed’ . ‘paint less days’ . ‘small disgusting river’ and ‘dismal scene’ . Fitzgerald perchance uses this to reflect Nick’s temper in holding to hold tiffin with Tom Buchanan who he clearly shows to the reader is dislike towards this character. or even bespeaking to the reader the unwanted meeting with Tom’s kept woman. Myrtle Wilson. Fitzgerald possibly uses this to involvement the reader into oppugning the mention to the conditions and the scene at the start of the chapter in relation to Nick’s emotions and asks why does Nick experience so ‘grey’ . ‘bleak’ and merely by and large glooming and negative towards this event as an debut to Chapter 2.

So Fitzgerald manipulates the surprising action by doing impact on the acuteness of the short description of this. contrasting to Fitzgerald’s other descriptions to events and scenes which he tells to the reader in great sums of item with poetic and romantic linguistic communication. in order to lend in making a great impact of horror/tragedy felt by the reader of this event.
A different narrative technique the writer uses to state the narrative in this chapter is that the storyteller is intoxicated and efforts to retrieve his motions. However. Fitzgerald uses the fact of which Nick is intoxicated by pull stringsing the narrative. For illustration. ‘…I was standing beside his bed and he was sitting up between the sheets clad in his underwear. with a great portfolio in his custodies. ’ This description is a rather alone manner of narrating the narrative. even stoping the chapter ; nevertheless it makes Nick’s narrative more realistic and reliable by stating it in this manner. the reader can clearly conceive of Nick’s dark in their caput by how Fitzgerald decides to state this event.
