Chapter 1

After reading the first chapter from The Great Gatsby, I've come to learn what kind of man Nick is. Nick is man who was brought up in a very well structured family with an ample amount of wealth to live comfortably. He is very aware of his surroundings, and can analyze situations, scenarios, and settings very well and quickly. For example, he analyzed how different the two eggs are from one another; with the West being classified as the "New Money", and the East Egg being classified as a more old school kind of old money vibe. He can tell what kind of a person some people are because his father raised him to be able to be very street smart and such. Nick is also a Yale graduate, and he has returned from World War 1. So he has a sort of out of the loop look on the society in New York.
