How do aspects of the setting (specifically the Valley of ashes and the two eggs) in the Great Gatsby contribute to the overall meaning of the text and to the development of the plot?

Answer and Explanation:

The Valley of ashes is a place created by the dumping of industrial waste, being an inhospitable place and a decadent and bad environment. It symbolizes the supremacy of the wealthy over the poor and how the wealthy had relieved responsibility for their actions and the consequences they caused the poorest population. In other words, this scenario reinforces the moral decadence of the rich, the lack of resources of the poor and a strong difference between these two social classes.

East and West Eggs, on the other hand, symbolizes discrepancy and corruption and fallacy within the upper social class, the wealthy. This is because one of the egs represents the people who were born rich and who has a strong influence in society, while the other egg represents the people who became rich through corruption and illegal work, who try at all costs to receive the admiration of those who were born rich.

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.
