The Valley of Ashes represents the poor part of the world in the book. It's where people are working and where George has his car repair shop. It shows the people in the world who are struggling and who are working for their money. You have to pass through the Valley of Ashes to get into town. This seems like a dangerous area because the accident with Myrtle happens here. -SS

"The valley of ashes is bounded on one side by a small foul river, and, when the drawbridge is up to let barges through, the passengers on waiting trains can stare at the dismal scene for as long as half an hour.” (Pg. 26) -MS
this confrontation of Tom and George shows how the rich look down on the poor because of the difference in their social status. It represents the moral and social decay hidden by the West, and East Egg. The valley is created through industrial dumping and thus a by-product of capitalism.-MS
