Chp 1: Who is Nick?
Before reading chapter 1 I knew that Nick is the narrator. He is also non-judgemental, from the mid-west, looks at everybody the same, and is very nice. He's also cousins with Daisy, who is married to Tom. In the beginning of chapter 1 it tells how Nick became non-judgemental. He 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."(1) I think that means that not everybody haves what you have. You don't know what people are going through and don't know them long enough to judge them. Nick also says that since people know that he won't judge them, they tell Nick their personal stories. Little do they know, Nick doesn't really care about what they're telling him. In the chapter it also talks about how Fitzgerald moved Nick out to the west egg and that he's neighbors with Gatsby and his second cousin, Daisy, and her husband lives in the east egg and Nick visits them. I think that we're going to learn more about Gatsby and what's so important about him.
