Look again at the characters of The Great Gatsby then respond to the tasks.

Nick has very varied relationships with some the characters of the Great Gatsby for example with Tom he is always polite and civil to Tom but we know that he does not like Tom very much because of the way that Nick describes Tom to us. For example he describes him as quite a large nasty man. “he had two arrogant eyes set over quite a dominant face”. “You could see a great pack of muscle shifting beneath his riding clothes”. That is not very nice either. Sometimes big men can be quite nice like a big bear. Evidently Tom is not one of those men.  Also Tom seems to annoy Nick a lot for example when he asks Nick what bond company he works for Nick tells him and Tom says that he has never heard of it. This annoys Nick. Yet Nick is always polite to Tom and Tom does not seem to gauge that Nick does not like him. For example Tom takes him to New York with Myrtle. Nick assumes that Tom wants his privacy and decides to leave but Tom does not let him and gives him his hospitality.

        Daisy, Nick seems to get on quite well with. They laugh and joke between themselves about Tom. For example Daisy keeps exaggerating about the things Tom says. “We should beat them down. Daisy exclaimed fervently.” This shows they get on quite well. Also she tries to set Nick up with Jordan Baker. “I think I will oh fling you together, lock you in linen closets, push you out in boats that sort of thing. Obviously Daisy is not that naïve and is quite aware and fun.

Fitzgerald is quite an interesting storyteller. He almost tells it in play form. ...
