During the first chapters of "The Great Gatsby" we are introduced to narrator Nick as a honest man who doesn't judge others . Nick is a simple guy who doesn't drink and aspires to get into the world of trading and buying bonds. Although, throughout the beginning four chapters he is placed in theses different settings that displaces Nick from his familiar and usual surroundings. For example: In Tom and Myrtle's apartment they had a party and there was continuous drinking and smoking, Nick isn't the kind of guy to go to a party just to drink and smoke, but he does do it to fit in with the environment.
On the other hand Gatsby seems to be having the same problem but in a different way. Instead of attending these scandalous parties, he throws them they are huge party's every week, where everyone can drink, socialize, and dancing. But, Gatsby never participates in these chaotic actions, instead he watches everyone else enjoy themselves. Loving the fact that his guest are enjoy and taking advantage of the turnout of the party. Gatsby shares his past on the way to the lunch in with Nick, he describes a past that doesn't connect with what is going on in his future. Gatsby did not seem like the guy o throw scandalous parties every week.
