One of the first things I noticed was that Nick and his father seem to be very smart. I really like that quote from Nick father on page 5 "'Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you've had.'" This made me think that there must be something special about this family, like where they came from or the things his family has done, maybe the have been places others haven't or invented new things. Nick must be smart, he graduated from New Haven in 1915 about 25 years after is father did. Nick was different because he wanted to live outside of the city. The description of the house he moved into was very interesting "a weather beaten cardboard bungalow". I think this means that he is living in a build that looks to be the quality of rotten cardboard. This book uses sophisticated language and vocabulary words. This helps to make the characters sound much smarter, and I believe they are smart. Tom seems to be very self assured, he thinks he knows what he is doing and that he won't run out of money so he can move how ever many times he and Daisy like. Ms. Baker seems like a quite person. She did not talk very much while Nick was at Tom and Daisy's house. She did mention though Gatsby, which is currently Nick's neighbor. I wonder what the significance is between him and the title of the book. Will he become a hero of some sort? I am not sure yet what the book will be about but something important will happen with Gatsby I am guessing.
