Question

1) Please explain the following quote and how it relates to the climate of the Roaring

Twenties.

"I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had

actually been invited. People were not invited - they went there. They got into automobiles

which bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby's door. Once there

they were introduced by somebody who knew Gatsby, and after that they conducted themselves

according to the rules of behavior associated with amusement parks. Sometimes they came and

went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its

own ticket of admission."
