“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,' he told me, 'just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.'"
I find this quote to be a very interesting beginning to the story and a strong statement. It sets a tone of how Nick was raised and how he decides to act as a human being. This is also a great message to live by as a reader. I find books often don’t give such clear messages like this and they should. This also shows what kind of a father Nick had which was likely the man he is a reflection of today. The idea of Gatsby himself raises many questions and a lot of question. This story barely has Gatsby in it thus far he is a brief shadow in the scene or not even mentioned. Overall I find this book very interesting so far.
