The Great Gatsby

     The speaker of the Great Gatsby is Nick Carraway. He had graduated from New Haven and joined the army after. He had gotten bored of his hometown and decided to go to New York for a bond business and also to see new things and go on an adventure. He moved to New York City in the spring but settled in his house during the summer. His moderate sized house is located in the West Egg, and is right next to Jay Gatby's mansion. Nick kept mentioning that he was not judgmental because his father had raised him right and taught him how to live life correctly. He was one of the people who is dependent on themselves and does not count on other people to survive off of. He also is not a big fan of money and inheritance. He is also second cousins with Daisy and has a love interest for a girl named Jordan Baker.

     The novel takes place in the summer of 1922 in New York and Long Island. He lives in the West Egg with Gatsby. The West Egg is not as fancy shmancy as the East Egg, but most of the people are still pretty wealthy. The only difference is that people in the West Egg work for their money, while the people of East Egg just inherit the money. It also takes place during the Jazz Age. The subject so far is mainly about love, lavish parties, wealth, and mystery. Nick talks about money and inheritance and how people use it differently. He talks about the parties that Gatsby throws and never attends them. Nick mentions love quite alot. He talks about the different couples and how he is falling for a dishonest girl named Jordan. The tone is unpredictable and mysterious.
