Fitzgerald describes Nick as non-judgmental, that he knows not everyone has had the same advantages he has had in life which helps him befriend and understand people. 

Because Nick is the narrator, it is important to set the character up in this way because the reader will be more likely to trust the observations of the other characters that Nick makes. If the reader thinks he is too judgmental, they might not believe his story as fully.

When do you think It is unfair or deceptive to try to use emotions to persuade people
Rasek [7]
It depnds on your motivation. If it's for personal gain, that's called manipulation, and is extremely deceptive and unfair. But if your simply trying to appeal to someones emtions to get them to benefit a good cause, like showing them one of those videos of someone in the military coming home in order to persuade them to donate to a cause that helps veterans, I wouldn't really call that unfair or deceptive since they know exactly what you're trying to do. So it's deceptive and unfair when they don't know what you're tring to achieve and that you're trying to achieve anything.

What is the form of conflict in "The Adventures of Aladdin"?
sukhopar [10]
Actually, this story reveals many conflict, it depends on what you are focused. For example, you can see the love of two characters from the different social classes, but depending on the target reader and classification of types of conflict it must be external conflict ''Man vs Man''. Because, you know, in this childish story the main problem is that main character is always being chased by the evil antagonist that reveals himself as a pushing force that points on external conflict.
