Now that you have finished Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby, respond to the following questions:

1. Who is the narrator? Describe his perspective, biases, character traits, etc.
Nick Carroway is the narrator and he sound like a normal person he also told us in the beginning that he doesn't judge and we can trust him.

2. What do you think F. Scott Fiitzgerald accomplishes by chooses this specific narrator versus another choice, such as a different character or 3rd person?
I think he chooses Nick Carroway because he is the character in the novel that doesn't belong to none of the social class, old rich and new rich he is in the middle. I also think he is a good narrator because he doesn't judge people or choses a side.
