F Scott FitzGerald presents Nick Carraway as a character and narrator by showing in Nick’s own way that he has come “back from the East last autumn” fed up off his experiences there. This instantly informs the reader that nick as a character played a part in the story that has already taken place and is now narrating this story from memory. Nick is presented throughout the opening chapters as a young man from Minnesota whom after being educated at Yale and fighting the world war one, goes to New York City to learn the bond business. Nick has also rented a house in west egg, a fictional area of long Island that is home to most newly rich rather than east egg which is home to the ‘old money’. Coincidently the house is next door to, “the man who gives his name to this book,” Jay Gatsby and as the chapters go on, we later
Those few who survived did so in dreadful conditions. In Island of the Lost, Joan Druett (2007) recounts the story of two parties who were shipwrecked in 1864 on opposite sides of the island, and it is a story of leadership and team work. The first, a party of five led by Captain Thomas Musgrave of England, behaved like Shackleton’s crew stranded in the Weddell Sea. Encouraged by Musgrave, the men banded together in a common quest for survival. Over a period of 20 months, using material salvaged from their ship, they built a cabin, found food, rotated cooking duties, nursed one another, made tools, tanned seal hides for shoes, built a bellows and a furnace, made bolts and nails, and then built a boat which they used to sail to safety.

Charles, now 68, reminisced about his own entrepreneurial history. He had ventured west from Chicago in 1955 to distribute a single line of rods from one major steel manufacturer, after borrowing heavily from it and a local bank. This new venture had seemed more like a challenge to Charles than a risk. His sons still fondly referred to him as the “riverboat gambler.” To this day, it was still Charles who primarily noticed new market trends and initiated decisions to deal with them. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Senior Lecturer John A.
