The first page of “The Great Gatsby” caught my attention. When Nick Carraway quotes his father, it was a very original way to begin the novel. The quote is: “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone just remember that al the people in the world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” To me this quote is self explanatory. It clearly means don’t criticize people when you don’t know their side of the story. The details in the first chapter are very vivid and sometimes threw me off.
_The main characters in the first chapter are:
-Nick (narrator)
-Daisy (Nick’s cousin)
-Tom (Daisy’s husband)
-Jordan Baker (Daisy’s friend)
-Jay Gatsby (Nick’s neighbor)
Nick moves to New York where he rents a house in west Egg. In the novel West Egg is a home to the rich. Nick visits his cousin Daisy for dinner in East Egg. While there he learns that Daisy’s husband, Tom Buchanan was a former member of his social club from Yale University. Daisy’s friend Jordan Baker is there and after she goes to sleep, Daisy and Tom suggest to Nick that he should take interest romantically in Jordan. When Nick arrives home he notices, next door, Mr. Gatsby, his extremely wealthy neighbor, on his porch. Nick finds Gatsby very mysterious.
