Beginning The Great Gatsby

1. Who is the narrator? Describe his perspective, biases, character traits, etc.

- Nick Carraway is the narrator of the story. He seems on the shy side of things and his biases are against Tom because he talks about him like he's some sort of player mean type of dude who's really cocky and rich.

2. What do you think F. Scott Fitzgerald accomplishes by choosing this specific narrator versus another choice, such as a different character or 3rd person?

- I feel like he chooses someone who isn't directly involved in the situations, but someone who is always there overlooking/ or observing these things and then has there own opinion on those things too. He's sort of using a 3rd person view and a 1st person view all in one.
