Lines 169–172: What point is Fitzgerald trying to make by including the flash forward at this pointing in the narrative? In which sentence does Fitzgerald shift time to the present? What literary
device does he use to do so?
Answer:
The question cannot be answered explicitly as it refers to specific lines of a text by Fitzgerald that have not been provided. Normally, Fitzgerald might use flash forwards to provide insight into future events or character development, and he often uses literary devices such as foreshadowing for this purpose. The specific sentence where he shifts time to the present would be identifiable in the actual text.
