Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Desolate : Strange garden, full of ashes, there was smoke dined, crumbling, with plenty people that looks like ghost than humans, gray, cloudy, unclear and exposed.

Fitzgerald took time to talk about the settings in a comprehensive poetic manner. His center of attention was on the specifics of this area which is a setting although it was meant to play an important role in the story more than just spending this much time explaining the settings in details.
