Sands Point

The place Sands point is significant to The Great Gatsby because it served as real life inspiration for "East Egg" in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel. I found this information from a website called Sands Point Preserve which gave background information on the location and the relevance of it. This article is an example of a gatekeeper because It is an official website for the location in Sands Point, NY and the only posts on the website is information regarding the estate and its history. Mapping this location on Cove lets future students build on what I found and explore the real places that were used in this film as well as makes this estate known for more then what it is described as on the websites and more of a place many viewers and enjoyers of Great Gatsby have a strong connection too, rald's classic novel The Great Gatsby
