The description of the valley of ashes- a dismal area of land where the railroad meets the road for some time. This serves as a contrast to the riches and mansions of West and East egg. In the valley of ashes is an advertising board with the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg but he has no face. These eyes watching over the city may represent the eyes of God watching over the moral indecencies and the gradual decay of the rich generation. This may also serve as a metaphor for female genitalia. Tom and Nick go to the gas station in the valley of ashes where they meet up with Myrtle, his mistress, and travel to an apartment in New York City. On the way, Tom buys Myrtle a puppy as a sign of dominance and control.They decide to host a party and invite the McKees and Catherine, Myrtle's sister. They proceed to drink alcohol and let out their inner desires. Nick is disgusted at their behavior but also intrigued by the carelessness of their minds. Myrtle begins to chant Daisy's name in defiance and Tom punches her in the nose. Soon after this the party ended, and both the Mckee's and Nick leave the party. Somehow Nick ends up standing beside Mr. McKee's bed who is dressed in his underwear revealing Nick's homosexual tendencies.
