From the early pages of the novel, The Great Gatsby, we are first introduced to Nick Carraway, who is the narrator. We learn that Carraway is a Midwesterner, a YALE Graduate and was a soldier in the First World War. Nick has moved to New York to learn about the bond business; Nick has also rented a small house next to the luxurious mansion of Jay Gatsby. As we are at the early stages of the novel it is hard for the reader to judge Nick’s character. The novel begins with Carraway stating a quotation his father told him when he was younger, “Whenever you feel like criticising someone – just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” Carraway is able to intake and digest important words he has heard, this shows that he is one who listens to wisdom; this also shows he is quite a Down-To-Earth character.
Nick Adams American Sniper I originally chose to do Unbroken, but I switched to reading American Sniper an autobiography by Chris Kyle. I chose this book because I was very interested in how and what the autobiography would be in relation to the American Sniper movie. The autobiography starts off with Chris not really knowing what he wants to do with his life, until he gets involved with the Navy Seals. The rest of the book then goes more in depth into his experiences in combat and how it has, and still does affect him and his family. This book has definitely lived up to my expectations in the fact that it takes a lot from the movie and delves deeper into certain situations.
