THE GREAT GATSBY - 100 POINTS

On the first page of the novel, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments" about people; however, as he relates his experiences
during the summer of 1922, he makes judgments about many people he encounters. Recall that he claimed to have come from a prominent, well-
to-do family, and yet considered himself "too poor" to marry the girl he was apparently engaged to. What impact does this have on Nick's
reliability as a narrator? Do you believe him when he says he is one of the few honest people that he's ever known? If not, does this impact
how you view the story? Write a 300-word essay analyzing Nick's character so far, including his claims about himself and his perceptions of the
people he encounters. Cite evidence from the text in your analysis.
