The Great Gatsby Essay!

In the book "The Great Gatsby" Fitzgerald uses Nick Carraway to narrate and capture Gatsby's character and the others that were in the novel. I thought it was odd but clever for Fitzgerald to use Nick to tell the story because in most stories it's either the main character or the author that is telling the story and describing the people in the story, so it was nice to have a different way to tell the story by using Nick as the narrator. He seemed got along with most of the characters in the story and he captured their personalities very well since he knew everyone. If Nick was not telling the story I'd feel like we would have not known as much as we would have about the story or the characters. It was also nice hearing some of his thoughts and opinions on the things going on in the story.
