West Egg‚ the East Eggers are stuck in their old ways and don’t like the new generation (East Egg) and how they have changed things. Two characters in the novel that perfectly display old money are Daisy and Tom. These two are husband and wife‚ and the funny thing is‚ Daisy only married Tom for his wealth. Throughout this novel the two bump heads and cheat on each other‚ as well as other characters in the book. If you’ll ask me‚ I think that both the East Eggers and West Eggers are no good. They

He never understood the legal device used against him.” This shows how the garish‚ new money West Eggers will always be of a lower class and will be controlled by the old moneyed East Eggers.

Island where they face the ocean. East Egg is the home of those people who enjoy the highest social prestige‚ as well as their money. Their fortunes have been inherited and their roots run deep in American society. Theirs is "old money."

In the Book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald‚ there is a topic that always seems to come up‚ that topic is the American dream. This book makes you wonder whether this dream is actually realistic and achievable‚ or if it is just some made up thing that most are not able to achieve. It soon becomes clear that F.
