Meet Nick!

My class recently began reading The Great Gatsby.
It's my pleasure to introduce you to Nick, the narrator.

Where is Nick from? Nick is a young man, he happens to be from Minnesota but now appears to be a Midwesterner adrift in the East. Where is he now? In 1922, Nick traveled from Minnesota and went to New York in order to learn about bond business, he lives in the West Egg District of Long Island and landed right next door to Gatsby. Nick is also Daisy's cousin, so he gets front row seats on how Gatsby and Daisy's relationship ends up flourishing. In the beginning, Nick describes himself as a tolerant, open-minded, quiet, and good listener which results in him often being trusted with many secrets. Later on, Gatsby seems to confide in Nick with many secrets of his own, due to these characteristics.
