Blog #21: Gatsby! Ch 1-4
Gatsby and Nick are both somewhat detached from their surroundings. Compare and contrast this sense of detachment. How are they similar and/or different in this respect?

Gatsby and Nick are very similar, they are both detach from their community/surroundings. They seem to not fit in either of the new rich and old rich social class. They both don't drink and kind off stay back and watch. But Gatsby is probably more materialistic then Nick. Gatsby thinks that from his big parties he is going to get daisy attention, he is trying to get her attention with material things. Nick in the other hand, likes jordan he is trying to her attention by talking to her not buy spending money yet.
