GREAT GATSBY REMIX 1
credit to: teachervison.com

  1. Notice how many times Fitzgerald uses the words hope, or dream. Why does he do this?
  2. Nick starts the novel by relaying his father's advice "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." List Nick's advantages. Does he reserve judgement in the novel?
  3. Pay attention to time. What is the day and year during the first scene at Daisy's house?
  4. Describe Nick. What facts do you know about him, and what do you infer about him? What kind of a narrator do you think he will be?
  5. What image does the author use to describe Jordan Baker? What does it mean?
  6. How does Nick react to Jordan?
  7. What does Tom's behavior reveal about his character?
My questions: 

1. What is so great about Gatsby that Nick keeps mentioning about in chapter 1? who is this mysterious guy? And why is Nick son enamored to him?
2. why are west egg neighbors lack in social connection and whereas Nick doesn't?
3. Is Nick a reliable person?
