F.Scott.Fitzgerald’s famous novel The Great Gatsby starts with the story of the narrator, Nick. Nick Carraway, a World War I veteran, underwent treatment at a mental hospital in December 1929. He tells his doctor about the most positive guy he's ever met, Jay Gatsby. After writing Nick's hobby, the doctor encourages him to write down his feelings. Nick continues cataloging the events to his doctor.
Seven years ago, in the summer of 1922, Nick came from Midwest to New York after he had abounded in literature. In the North Shor Village of West Egg, next to the mansion of Gatsby, an elusive business magnet who also attends lavish parties, he rents a small farmhouse. Nick is having dinner with Daisy Buchanan, his beautiful but marginalized cousin, and his athletic dominant partner, Tom. Daisy is playing match-maker between Nick and another guest, Jordan Baker, a successful golfer who's on his way back.
Nick Carraway is neither poor nor rich, which not only makes him a good person in society but a good narrator for the novel. Seeing as though Nick lives in an eyesore but continues to explain how good it is for a cheap price shows he doesn’t care what others think, as long as he is content. Nick’s family most likely set him up for a good future, Nick remembering his dad telling him to be grateful is the perfect opportunity to show that Nick was brought into society with one thing to think of, his advantages. For the most part, Nick is a very understanding person throughout the book. He reports on events that take place between characters as we watch the tragic love story unfold ultimately leaving Gatsby a victim in his flawed measure of success.
