Taken from Chapter 5 of the text "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, it is the scene where Daisy, Nick and Gatsby are walking towards Gatsby's place.

Explanation:

The extracted passage is from Chapter 5 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The novel revolves around the themes of a lost American dream, a claim to recover what had been gone, the differential gap between the social classes based on wealth among others.

The passage tells a description of when Jay Gatsby had invited Nick and Daisy to his house. Though it was a "rehearsed invite", as it was Gatsby's plan all along, Daisy was indeed impressed by the property of Gatsby. This was the exact plan of Gatsby, to try to impress and show off to Daisy so that she will come back to him.
