5. Comment on the juxtaposition of the following paragraphs:
“Over the great bridge, with the sunlight through the girders making a constant
flicker upon the moving cars, with the city rising up across the river in white heaps
and sugar lumps all built with a wish out of non-olfactory money. The city seen
from the QueensboroBridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first
wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.
A dead man passed us in a hearse heaped with blooms, followed by two carriages
with drawn blinds, and by more cheerful carriages for friends. The friends looked
out at us with the tragic eyes and short upper lips of southeastern Europe, and I was
glad that the sight of Gatsby’s splendid car was included in their somber holiday.”
