Scott Fitzgerald uses a lot of imagery in his writing for example when he describes the valleys of ashes, he describes it being dark and where people dies.

During the time Nick is also very judgmental about the entire scenario and the Valley of ashes. At the until now the book is always gossipy and judgmental about the circumstances, characters, and even the decision made by Nick like, Why did he go to meet Tom’s mistress when he is related to Daisy, Tom’s
