"Roosevelt again and again exploited the masterful device of radio "fireside chats" to report directly to an anxious national audience, and his calm assurance did much to restore American's confidence in theses and in their government". The New Deal, being such a complex plan, had many critics. A conservative and largely hostile Supreme Court encountered him with his most formidable opposition.

Chapter seven is a key part of ‘The Great Gatsby’; many things are happening, changing and being resolved. Fitzgerald uses many techniques to implore the events taking place. From the start of the chapter we see a huge change in the protagonist Jay Gatsby. His lifestyle of the lavish parties and many servants are now no more.

Individualism is the opposite of conformity which is exactly what Gatsby does through out the novel.
