TMD preface comparison

Both the "Great Gatsby" and "Invisible Man" gave the reader an excellent view on what times were like when the authors wrote their books. They depicted the social atmosphere and mentality of their respective eras. The greed, the lavishness, and the extravagance of 1920s New York was displayed in Fitzgerald's novel. Gatsby's parties, and Tom's relationship with his wife and his mistress illustrated the fakeness at the time. Ellison's novel depicted the racial injustices in the the 1950s both in the big cities and the South.
