comparison of the two parties

Different from the huge mansion of Tom which has a great view, Myrtle's apartment was 'on the top floor-a small living room, a small dining-room, a small bedroom, and a bath'.(pg.29) The party at Tom's mansion was somewhat luxurious and graceful. People only had dinner together at Tom's place. At Myrtle's party, people drank alcohols. I felt Myrtle shows cheap culture during 20's while Tom shows wealthy living. The topics that people dealt with in each party was different. At Tom's house, people talked about the book although it was about radical racism. At Myrtle's place, the topic that she talked about was divorce. Compare to the topic at Tom's place, Myrtle's place's was cheaper culture. (The mysterious phone call was from Myrtle in my opinion).
