Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. 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?

    From the excerpt given above, it can be infer that the residents of East Egg are rich, they are able to acquire beautiful homes which are decorated with beautiful things that money can buy; so their homes and environment appear very beautiful and attractive but this is in contrast to their personal characters which are far from attractive. So they use their beautiful surrounding to conceal their unattractive characters.
