The Great Gatsby:What does Tom call Nick? Why? How does Nick feel about what Tom says

English

In Francis Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" (1925), Tom calls Nick "Nordic" during their first encounter in the book. Tom says "The idea is that we're Nordics. I am, and you are and you are and----"

He calls Nick Nordic because he has been reading a book called "The Rise of the Coloured Empires" by a man named Goddard. This book deals with the idea that White people are supposed to be the dominant race who brought civilization and the book also warns that if White people do not watch out, other races will become dominant and "control things".

Nick feels very displeased with Tom. He finds Tom an unpleasant, not intelligent, strong and aggressive man that bullies his wife and others. Nick also finds something pathetic in his concentration and in taking seriously a book so ludicrous while also failing to keep the train of thought while trying to explain the book to Nick.

From on writing by stephen king what are some of the characteristics of king`s muse? ◢bodyp into what four categories does king
dmitriy555 [2]
Here's my take on the defining characteristics of SK's writing: 
<span>Mistrust of the government. In a number of his novels, you can see government organizations as dehumanizing and often a host for evil people. A recurring organization is "The Shop", which you can read about in Firestarter and Dreamcatcher. The Shop is analagous to the CIA, but more secret and more evil. In "The Stand", a government facility destroys the human race through a combination of evil and stupidity; the government also undertakes a long disinformation campaign. In Under the Dome, the town's officials are venal and corrupt. In Hearts in Atlantis, the government is seen as responsible for the Vietnam War.Belief in the power of youth. Perhaps nobody has more awe for the power of youth and especially groups of children than SK. IT, Under the Dome, The Talisman, Black House, Salem's Lot, the Dark Tower series, Apt Pupil, The Body, Carrie, Children of the Corn,  Desperation, The Regulators, The Sun Dog... All of these works and more feature children on their own or in groups being the prime movers in the story. Most of the time, children are good in King's work, but not alwaysAn abiding understanding of the small town. King is a small-town person; it's no surprise that he's preparing a musical with John Mellencamp. His work has always embraced the small town with a clear-eyed understanding of both its loveliness and the darker currents that flow underneath.<span>The belief that great evils can be combatted and beaten by "normal" people, and that there is greatness even in the wounded and the beaten. Rose Madder, Jack Sawyer, Charly McGee, Trisha MacFarland, Jake, Eddie, Susannah, Johnny Smith, Stu Redman, Larry Underwood, Ralph Roberts -- just a few of the Everyman and Everywoman characters who discover unknown reserves of courage and power when faced with cosmic evils.</span></span>
