throwing these parties.

d. conflict or potential conflict of character

ambition to win back Daisy Buchanan, and his past love all contribute to his
psychological turmoil.

e. how the setting reflects the feelings of the character experiencing this conflict.

regarding the excesses of the Jazz Age.

Work:
As the sun sets behind the extensive estate of Gatsby's Mansion, its magnificence appears large
against the evening sky. The mansion stands as a beacon of wealth and extravagance, its imposing
structure enhanced with rich details and surrounded by beautifully clipped gardens. Lights twinkle
from within, casting a warm glow across the grounds, where the air is alive with the sounds of
laughter and music. Inside, the lavishness knows no bounds, with extravagant decorations enhancing
every surface and the finest food and drink flowing freely. Yet amongst the shimmering facade of
luxury, there is an air of longing and desperation, as if the very walls themselves are whispering
secrets of deceptive love and unfulfilled dreams. Here, in the heart of Gatsby's world, the setting
reflects the inner anxiety of its mysterious host, a man driven by a relentless pursuit of love and
acceptance yet haunted by the ghosts of his past and the elusive nature of his desires.
