Gatsby post 1- norberto

Unlike many books I have read, The Great Gatsby starts out with the description of a character. It is interesting how Nick describes himself and explains his learning from what his father has taught him and what he has learned from his prestigious school. The explanation of Nick's new home was helpful to understand the situation. New wealth was forged and many were recuperating from the war. I found it intriguing how after the Great War was over, people were emerging from millions of deaths and the overall sufferage of a war. It can be compared to new seeds growing from a destroyed terrain. I believe Nick was very lucky because he came back from the war with helpful relationships and a warm welcome from his old friends.
