Joana Tsuhlares Question 2            
     I think Nick brings a really interesting feeling to this novel.  He develops with the reader, in the beginning he seems separated to the world he is entering shocked at somethings even, but by the end he isn't clear on his feelings towards people he is more angry and clearly plays a part in that upper class world.  I do not believe Nick is trustworthy, he isn't clear on his feelings for Gatsby and other characters (Jordan) openly claim he us untruthful.  This questionability of the narrator brings something to the novel.  Nick says, " Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known" (Fitzgerald 59).  That's a pretty big, and frankly arrogant statement that gets the reader thinking about what Nick's position really is.
     He is not perfect, no one is in this novel.  Everyone has skeletons in the closet and the narrator isn't exempt.  The point of this book is showing the role of a perfect dream.  Gatsby tried to create himself a perfect world and it fell apart, so it makes sense that the narrator isn't perfect either.  It shows how we all have different perceptions of ourselves compared to reality and it plays into the themes on unattainable and unhealthy dreams for the past.
