From these instances it becomes clear that Nick, in many ways, is an outsider.
-In Chapter 2, Nick, Tom, and Myrtle spend time in the Buchanans’ New York apartment. In this moment it’s getting dark, and Nick imagines what people outside the apartment must see when they look up into its well-lit rooms. Nick identifies with this imaginary watcher, although he is inside the apartment. Nick’s sense of himself split between being inside and outside nicely describes his social position in the novel. Although he hangs out with wealthy people, he is not quite one of them.

-Nick is explaining how lavish and expensive the palaces are and Describing East Egg as the superior of the two. The color white is often symbolized as wealth in the great Gatsby.
"Turning me around by one arm... he turned me around again"
-Tom is physically handling Nick and controlling where he goes and what they look at. Tom always has to be in control and seems to be asserting his dominance.]]> 2021-04-23 15:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kdestes100/4qwuyjb57owl0odk/wish/1452362682 kdestes100 https://padlet.com/kdestes100/4qwuyjb57owl0odk/wish/1452365179 Nick travels to New York in 1922 to learn the bond business.
