The Valley of Ashes
The valley of ashes represents the moral situation of the story. It shows the greed that people are consumed with, they wish to find wealth and nothing can stop them. They do not care what is in their way or what will get in their way. The rich only take into account with what they want and they ensure they maintain self-pleasure. The valley can represent the poor, it is a valley which nothing lives and no one takes care of it. It simply represents the people living in poverty.

I love the way that you completely explain the valley and it's symbolism. I agree that the rich are consumed with their own self-gain and don't really care how it affects others.
