Problem 1: What kind of character IS NICK Carraway? How does he compare to narrators in other novels you have studied?
Problem 2: Does Nick's narration color our view of all the other characters?
Problem 3: What do these characters teach Nick about himself?
Problem 4: What do we learn about Gatsby?
Problem 5: Consider Fitzgerald's descriptions as you read. Find the three most vivid descriptions in chapter 4 and be prepared to share these in class. Are they effective? Why or why not? Why does Nick say, "There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy, and the tired"
