Fitzgerald uses many devices to illustrate the gloom of the Valley of Ashes and the separation between the upper and lower classes. Initially, he uses bleak imagery to develop the murkiness of the scene. The term ‘gray’ is only written one time in the excerpt, to define the land, but one could certainly infer that the sky is that same gray color.

good (virtue). In short, Plato is under the impression that there is only one, singular form for which good can result from. All citizens in Plato’s “kallipolis” and Aristotle’s polis are attempting to achieve a state of goodness, justice.
