Similarly, "The Rich Boy" is narrated by an observant first-person narrator, who is a confidant of Anson's. The narrator is sympathetic to Anson but looks at him objectively and says that the rich “…are different from you and me” (Fitzgerald “Rich” 318). He views Anson objectively because sympathizing with Anson means he “will have nothing to show except an absurd film” (Fitzgerald “Rich” 318). So the narrator sticks to his point of view and recounts the events, only including himself when speaking to Anson, which rarely happens. "The Bridal Party" consists of a third-person omniscient narrator who is not part of the story. The narrator simply observes and narrates the actions that take place in the story, such as when Michael's The Great Gatsby takes place in New York and Long Island, in the two locations known as "West Egg" and " East Egg.” East Egg is where aristocrats live, who have had money for generations. West Egg includes people from the lower and middle classes who have earned money during their lives. They are looked down upon by the East Eggers, including Daisy, who is an East Egger, never attends Gatsby's parties, who is a West Egger. One of the most important locations in the novel is the "Valley of Ashes", a desolate wasteland on the route between New York and Long Island. The valley where “the highway hastily joins the railroad tracks” and sometimes emits “a terrible cracking sound” (Fitzgerald Gatsby 23). This represents the destruction of modern society as the byproducts of the trains arrive there. However, it is also the place where Myrtle dies, indicating how the moral bankruptcy of big cities ends in small towns. Through this, Fitzgerald depicts what New York symbolizes: a place where match-fixing can happen, where lavish parties are held, and where money is used mercilessly by weird, wealthy people. The setting allows Fitzgerald to depict the wealthy society of the 1920s and its destruction. His privileged upbringing allows him to “become men who live well and succeed” (Fitzgerald “Rich” 319). After finishing his studies at Yale, Anson moved to New York and worked on Wall Street at a brokerage firm. In New York, he frequents "debutante parties" and "men's clubs" in order to live an extravagant lifestyle that makes him arrogant and selfish (Fitzgerald "Rich" 319). Through Anson's actions, Fitzgerald further depicts the lifestyle of New York's wealthy. However, New York reminds Anson of the special times he shared with Paula and Dolly in the city, thus making him depressed. As a result, Anson goes to Paris and the narrator notices “the first joviality I had seen him show in months” (Fitzgerald “Rich” 348). Anson learns to move forward in life and thus represents the fast-paced life of New York, which does not allow an individual to slow down and get back on their feet. Fitzgerald describes the ability of cities to change a person, whether in a positive or positive way.
