Tracin' The Travels Ch.9

West Egg Village (172) - A recurring setting of our novel, if you no not know by now West Egg village is the fictional version of of the North Shore village, King Point, in Long Island, New York. On page 172 it is mentioned as Nick is trying to call people to show up at Gatsby's funeral.

Chicago...(174) - I am sure you all know what Chicago is but I did not have much to work with in this chapter... Chicago is a city in Illinois; in fact the only city anyone knows about in Illinois. Chicago is mentioned in chapter 9 because surprisingly Gatsby's death reached their newspapers. 

Greenwich (177) - A town in Connecticut that no one has ever heard of, Connecticut is named after a district in London, England for some whatever reason. Greenwich is brought up in chapter 9 because it was Klipsringer's excuse for not being able to go to Gatsby's funeral. Since the researcher probably will not bother to remind us I will tell whoever reads this that he is the strange man living in Gatsby's house that is mentioned and chapter 5 and forced to play the piano.
