"My family have been prominent, well-to-do people in this Middle Western city for three generations. The Carraways are something of a clan ..." (Fitzgerald 3).
" Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known." (Fitzgerald 59).
"I had no sight into Daisy's heart, but I felt that Tom would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game" (Fitzgerald 6).
Tom and Miss Baker, with several feet of twilight between them, strolled back into the library, as if to a vigil beside a perfectly tangible body, while, trying to look pleasantly interested and a little deaf" (Fitzgerald 16

"I drove from the station directly to Gatsby's house and my rushing anxiously up the front steps was the first thing that alarmed any one" (Fitzgerald 161). This quote shows that right after Gatsby gets killed Nick rushes over. This hurts Nick because him and Gatsby have started to become really good friends and Nick has been helping Gatsby obtain his love for Daisy. The author Fitzgerald enhances the tone by adding "and the holocaust was complete" (162). The word holocaust means extermination and this word matches up with the way Nick was feeling during that time span.

Nick Carraways greatest desire was to reconnect Gatsby and Daisy. Like in chapter 4 of the story Nick got the two together for the first time in several years.Throughout the story Nick helped the two see eachother and he also helped them keep it a secret.

While he is very observant, he is also very judgmental. "I had no sight into Daisy's heart, but I felt that Tom would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game" (Fitzgerald 6). This shows that Nick is a very judgmental person toward Tom. From the start Nick is very observant of Tom and Daisy so when he learns Tom's character, he does not like Tom.

Nick doesn't have a significant other in the story that indicates he is in love. However, there seems to be a great admiration of Gatsby. It appears he is very observant of him and does what he can to remain on his good side. At the first sight of him Nick was fascinated, he decribes "It was one of those rare smiles .... whose elaborate formality of speech just missed being absurd" (Fitzgerald 48). This veneration continues tbhrought their reationship and even a hint of jealousy surfaces. While Gatsby explains to Nick that Daisy needs to tell Tom he never loved him, Nick gets defensive in a manner that may seem understanding but is actually jealousy. he tells Gatsby not to ask to much of him in a disguise. In another scene while Gatsby is dancing with Daisy Nick is watching Gatsby profoundly. He says "I remember being surprised by his graceful, conservative fox-trot --- I had never seen him dance before"(Fitzgerald 105).

Nick does somewhat think highly of his self but not in a conceited matter.. He directly states " Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known." (Fitzgerald 59). Nick does indeed feel he hold that great value because he is honest. As he realizes more and more that others tend to lie or may have been lying about a few things he holds it as a rather important characteristic.

Nick carries most of his father's advice and uses it throughout the first few chapter. His father says "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had"(Fitzgerald 1). Nick follows this instruction and doesnt criticize for what someone has but for how they percieve themselves. Nick is extremely observant and judges people for the things they do.

Nick Carraway gives an initial feeling of modesty. In the very first few pages he explains where he came from and the life his parents gave him as a young boy. He explains "My family have been prominent, well-to-do people in this Middle Western city for three generations. The Carraways are something of a clan ..." (Fitzgerald 3). As he continues he touches on his education and his past with the war, then leads to how he ended up on the West Egg. Since he already came from a line of success he wouldn't need to pursue his own career and simply follow the tradition as many have before him, however he chooses to seek his own life.
