Gatsby One

The narrator is Nick Carraway. He comes from a well-off family, they aren't rich but they aren't poor either. He seems nonjudgmental and trustworthy because of what he was saying on the first page of the book. He said that his father had told him never to judge people because they might not have had the same advantages as him, which makes him and unbiased character, allowing you to trust his opinions. Carraway also seems a bit out of place in New York since he really isn't rich like his neighbor Jay Gatsby.

Since Carraway is different from the other members of the story, (since he's not rich and he doesn't know the other characters that well). He doesn't come into the story with an opinion of the other characters, so his opinions of the situations in the book grow as yours do. This way, you can still relate to the book more than you could if it were a third person narration, but you aren't immediately forced to believe one side of a situation or another since the narrator doesn't even have an opinion of the situations at hand.
