Why did Nick's father tell him he should refrain from judging or criticizing other people? -From the Great Gatsby

English

Answer:he said just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.

Explanation: ‘Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.’”

—Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby

F is for F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of Gatsby and master of human insight wrapped in poetry. His novel begins here, his narrator Nick Carraway, grappling with his father’s caution of criticism—

“All the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

In short, people judge, and Nick tries to refrain because his father said so. I think about Nick’s words and my life. I remember how often my mother would stop herself mid-criticism and say, “I’m not going to say that. It wasn’t very nice.” Then Philippians 4:8 comes to mind about thinking on excellent, praiseworthy things.

Speaking of excellence and praise, what about this one for its sheer lyricism? “It was dawn now on Long Island and we went about opening the rest of the windows downstairs, filling the house with grey turning, gold turning light. The shadow of a tree fell abruptly across the dew and ghostly birds began to sing among the blue leaves. There was a slow pleasant movement in the air, scarcely a wind, promising a cool lovely day.”

The narrative voice in this passage shows that Squeaky
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The narrative voice in this passage shows that Squeaky has little respect for people she thinks are shallow.

The quotation "a dumb question like that doesn't deserve an answer" demonstrates a lack of respect for Mary Louise. Additionally, the passage mentions that "it's not a smile at all" which describes a sense of shallowness.

So the answer is A.
