He even quotes the advice his father gave him " whenever you feel like criticizing... people in this world haven't had the advantages you have" (1). Also from the use of first person readers can assume it's going to be a memory book. Another thing I noticed about nick is that he's a family man in other words proud of them, "My family has been prominent" (3)]]> 2018-05-24 20:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/melissareyes245/cd2t41mnbe3n/wish/263481521 melissareyes245 https://padlet.com/melissareyes245/cd2t41mnbe3n/wish/263486896 When he first meets Tom Daisy and Jordan he doesn’t like them since they’re gossipers. He calls Daisy sad since he could probably tell she is not happy with Tom in chapter 2 “Her face was sad and with lovely bright thing in it.” (9). He also doesn’t like Jordan especially when she’s intoxicated and she’s driving he tells her “your a rotten driver I protested” () meaning he’s juding her. ]]> 2018-05-24 21:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/melissareyes245/cd2t41mnbe3n/wish/263486896 melissareyes245 https://padlet.com/melissareyes245/cd2t41mnbe3n/wish/263487939 Lets get this out of the way. (Nick is lowkey gay) Old sport sleeps with Mr.McKee in chapter 2. "I was standing beside his bed and he was sitting up between the sheets..." (38). Nick shuts down a rumor asked by his cousin daisy asking if he was engaged but he said he wasn't. ]]> 2018-05-24 21:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/melissareyes245/cd2t41mnbe3n/wish/263487939 melissareyes245 https://padlet.com/melissareyes245/cd2t41mnbe3n/wish/263653597 He's a man between strength and weakness. Meaning he's strong enough to be himself around others , yet when it comes to Gatsby he acts like another person. another weakness could be that he judges other when he said he didn't. "they we careless people Tom and Daisy ..... smashed up creaters and things."

From sleeping with a man one day to then sleeping with another woman. To then kissing Jordan.

In the beginning of the book Nick makes himself seem a privilege man “ my family has been prominent.” (3)]]> 2018-05-25 15:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/melissareyes245/cd2t41mnbe3n/wish/263670029
