It adds more love and devotion to Gatsby because of his goodness and emphasizes that Nick choose the right side. So, Gatsby is his best friend who has to pass away by the selfishness of Daisy and
Gatsby is immune to his judgements about the higher class, so much so he would center the whole story around him. Nick’s bias towards Gatsby affects the way he tells the story. As the narrator, Nick does not consider and empathize with all the characters. Nick is only willing to give Gatsby the hero role, making him more honourable than he truly is. The selective nature of Nick Carraway’s glorification of Jay Gatsby in a clear trait of unreliable narration.
In The Great Gatsby,written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, three parties have taken place; the Buchanan’s house party, chapter one, the apartment party, chapter two, and Nick’s first Gatsby party, chapter three. Out of all the people that attended each of the parties, Nick relates most to Jay Gatsby. The two reasons that stood out were that both have good morals and both were soldiers in the same war. Both Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby have good personal morals. This was seen especially in chapter two by Nick when he was at the party.
It allows for a little one-on-one between Nick and Gatsby, which I kind of enjoy. Here, Nick notices that the facade that Gatsby keeps up sort of vanishes here and there. His accent changes, and there are notable errors in what he says to Nick. Gatsby also shows off his war medals, and repeats again that he’s an “Oxford man”. Nick knows what Gatsby is doing.
He threw lavish parties, drawing people from all walks of life, symbolizing the rich American dream. Gatsby also captivates Nick Carraway with his charm and mysterious persona, becoming both a friend and a source of fascination. Additionally, Gatsby’s pursuit of Daisy influences her decision making and relationships with other characters. These impacts don’t take away the foolish persona that Gatsby acquired. His foolery is him chasing his delusions by getting Daisy Buchanan back into his life as his lover.

She discovers that her baby is a girl and states that she “hope(s) she’ll be a fool” because “that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world.” This quote shows how Daisy perceives what it is like to be a girl during the 20s. Although this quote does not relate directly to the themes presented within the novel, it is significant because it gives insight for the reader towards who Daisy is as a character.
Chapter 7 begins with Gatsby having lunch with Tom and Daisy. The conversation had heated up between Tom and Gatsby so Daisy interferes and says lets go to town for the day.

In his death, Daisy leaves the town, not even bothering to mourn the man that built his life around her; she doesn’t even leave a trace for Nick to follow, with their house workers saying, “I don’t know.

Dear Mr. Quinn, This quarter, when reading “The Great Gatsby,” I learned about the importance of a narrator’s perspective from an introductory homework assignment as well as developed a strategy for myself in which I learned to overtime notice key details of texts from the close-read chapter assignments. Something I found interesting while initially reading the book was the importance of perspective in narration. One of the first Gatsby related assignments was to pick a character from chapter 1 and write about first impressions of the character. I chose Daisy, but in choosing Daisy I missed out on the initial importance of Nick. After discussing it in class, I began to understand more why Nick is so important to the story.
