Answer in two to three sentences.

Part B. Separately Provide a quote from the text that supports your analysis. (Quote has to be from chapters 1-9)

Answer 1

Part A:
Nick Carraway is described as having a "pleasant-looking, gray, inclined face, with humorous blue eyes and hair that is light-colored". He dresses conservatively, usually in a suit and tie, giving off an air of professionalism and class. This suggests that he values appearances and presents himself in a polished manner.

Part B:
"He smiled understandingly–much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced–or seemed to face–the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor." (Chapter 3)
