Blog #20: Beginning The Great Gatsby

1. Who is the narrator? Describe his perspective, biases, character traits, etc.
The narrator is Nick Carroway, who comes from From the Midwest of a wealthy family. When he was younger he went to war and collage.

2. What do you think F. Scott Fiitzgerald accomplishes by chooses this specific narrator versus another choice, such as a different character or 3rd person?
I think the author picked Nick as the "main character" because he is the neutral party, the fly in the wall. He said in the beginning that he was trustworthy.
