Gatsby Essay

           In "The Great Gatsby", Nick Carraway helps us (the reader) get better insight on who Gatsby is by giving us good descriptions about how Gatsby's parties were, how he is as a person and how Gatsby is trying to erase all the bad he did in the past by doing a lot of good in the present, basically putting the reader in Nick Carraway's shoes. Through Nick, we can see Gatsby's emotions toward Daisy we can also feel all of the heart pounding tension at the ending chapters through Nick. We can also see the struggles Gatsby goes through in the story and we begin to appeal to Gatsby through Nick because who else doesn't want to change something bad in our past by doing something good, like what Gatsby is trying to do.
