The great gatsby and ping ... please help!!?

The richly historic city of New York City is a popular setting for fiction and film. Reflecting on our works, what image of the Big Apple emerges? Is it the same/similar? Or is the impression completely different? In your essay, refer to at least two of our written works (Gatsby, Ping, Harlem Renaissance poetry). Though you may find it useful to draw on other sources and/or your knowledge, keep focused on the novels/poetry themselves.
