The phrases such as "the consoling proximity of millionaires" and "white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered" convey to the reader that financial wealth is desirable to the narrator. This can be seen in the narrator's word choices.

"Consoling" means "intended to make someone feel better when they are sad or disappointed". Nick lives in West Egg, the place where people are looked down upon because their money is new money. He does not have enough money to live in East Egg, where the real rich people live, but he really desires that. When he talks about his place, the adjectives he choses are neutral "small", "partial". Yet, when he describes East Egg, the images are quite positive "fashionable", "glittered".

This kind of narrative can be recognized by the use of the first-person pronouns <em>I </em>or <em>we</em>. The story may be narrated by a first-person protagonist, first-person reteller, first-person witness, or first-person peripheral.

Answer these questions (make something up for the first one)
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
1. Yes, I have a growth mindset. I have a growth mindset because once I do bad in a subject I will work to improve.
2. An example would be cooking. If I am really bad at baking cookies and they fail, I could try them again changing my mistake.
3. Going along with the “herd” is an easy thing because people do not want to feel left out.
4. It is important to be yourself to give other an Idea of who you are and to keep mental health up. Also to make friends.
