Great Gatsby- Blog Post 1

In chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby the narrator shares advice that his father gave him with the reader. His advice was "whenever you feel like criticizing any one just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had". I think Fitzgerald had Nick share this information with the reader because it is an important thing to learn and it is good advice for one to give. This shows that Nick is a good reliable narrator who is smart and is trying to teach a lesson. Nick is "confused and a little disgusted" because he doesn't understand why Daisy is staying even tho Tom had another woman, a mistress in New York and that she doesn't seemed phased that he cheated on her.
