In chapter two Nick and Tom travel through the valley of the Ashes to see Tom’s mistress. We also see Nick attending a party with Tom and his mistress Myrtle with a few others present. Fitzgerald uses this chapter to show contrast between the ‘eggs’ and the valley of ashes; he does this to build on the hypocrisy of the American society at the time. The chapter is told through Nick’s perspective which allows us to see and understand how he feels about the valley. We know Fitzgerald is describing the valley in contrast to the ‘eggs.’ We can see this from how he calls the valley “a Fantastic farm where ashes grown like wheat” the quote which is almost sarcastic reflects on how such a dead place is vibrant and appears to be full of life.

I can smell the trees and the flowering shrubs as a gentle wind blows them my way.

Compared to the size of the ants, the grass looks like the Giant Sequoia trees of the Sequoia National Park. This would not be a good time to cut the grass due to the fact that it is still damp from yesterday’s heavy rain.

Tŏkchae being the nut within the burr, and Sŏngsam being the chestnut burr that released him. The chestnut story, reminisced by Sŏngsam supports this symbolism, showing connection between Sŏngsam and South Korea, with Tŏkchae and North Korea. The Grandfather with the Wen’s sudden appearance within this memory signifies war and just how fast war can approach.
