Nick Carraway begins to narrate "The Great Gatsby" in a detailed manner. He precisely describes major details in his life, and the setting of where he lives. Nick introduces himself, and talks about where he's from. He constantly mentions that he went to Yale or "New Haven"as he calls it. This is because he feels as if though calling it "Yale" is too mainstream. Carraway comes from a wealthy line of family, and is pretty well-of and rich. Carraway can be seen as a judgemental person, who makes snarky remarks and judges those around him. He has a pessimistic view on life, constantly replying to people sarcastically. He can be described as aloof, giving one word answers to people often. Nick listens more than he speaks, thus being observant and making quick judgements about others. As we read through the pages, we can see that Nick gives highly accurate representation of Tom and Daisy at the dinner table. Making conclusions on Tom that he is "arrogant and cocky".
