The Great Gatsby

           In today society, many people like to follow the
current.  They want to catch the wave.  Which mean, it does not
matter if things were good or bad, right or wrong, they just
follow and do them without any thinking.  Therefore, there are
not too many people would like to be a normal, thoughtful nor
neutral person.  However, in the novel, The Great Gatsby, by
Scott Fitzgerald, one of the character name is Nike Carroway, he
was the good and neutral narrator.  It was because, in the novel,
he analyzed all of the things with regard to accuracy of
observation.

           In The Great Gatsby, when Mr.Gatsby told Vick he wanted
to return the past over again with his lover- Daisy, Nike
Carroway warned him to give it up, because it was impossible.
Unforturately, Mr.Gatsby was not believe it.  So at the end,
Mr.Gatsby's dream still had not came true because Daisy did not

           Also, there is one more lady said that Gatsby was a
German spy:

           Nike heard it, but when Nike had a chance to have a
lunch with Gatsby, he told Nike, he was an Oxford man and show
him that fought in World War One.  Then Nike knew Gatsby was not
a German Spy nor a murderer.
