Their house was even more elaborate than i expected, a cheerful red-and-white georgian colonial mansion, overlooking the bay. the lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens—finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines as though from the momentum of its run. the front was broken by a line of french windows, glowing now with reflected gold and wide open to the warm windy afternoon, and tom buchanan in riding clothes was standing with his legs apart on the front porch. based on this description of the buchanans’ house, what inference can be made about many east egg residents? they hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances. they commonly ride horses in the afternoon or early evening hours. they are more sophisticated than west egg residents, because they have less money. they place more importance on the appearance of their homes than in anything else.
