1. Who is the narrator? Describe his perspective, biases, character traits, etc.
The narrator is Nick Carraway, he studied at Yale. He seems like a smart efficient man. Even though his family is wealthy, he doesnt spend it and wants to invest it. He lives in the West Egg which is why we know he wants to use his money wisely.
He thinks Tom Buchanan is a bit showy, it seems he doesn't like them very much.
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?
He is wise, compared to what he believes of himself. He thinks highly of Gatsby, even though Nick is charismatic.
He is not that biased, and brings a view or perspective that makes it clear to infer about people's character.
