The Great Gatsby Setting Map
You are going to create a textual representation of the setting from The Great
Gatsby. This means your map must be accurate based on the details described in
the novel. It also must be easy to read, labeled clearly, and look pleasing to the
eye. Some items listed below are locations and you merely have to label them on
the map. Others are actual buildings or items so you will have to draw them based
on the way Fitzgerald describes them in the novel.
