1. I Was Within And Without - Simultaneously Enchanted And Repelled By The Inexhaustible Variety Of Life.

While Drunk At Tom's Apartment In Ny Nick Has A Sharp - Sudden And Clear Moment Of Insight- "(Attach Quote Here)." At This Moment - He Becomes Both Participant And Observer. Looking Over The Events Of His Experiences In The East - Nick Is Often Simultaneously "Enchanted And Repelled" Though He Is Involved He Remains Emotionally Detached From Many Events - Which Enables Fitzgerald To Use Him As The Narrator Of The Novel. It Is Also An Author's Surrogate As Fitzgerald Reveals Through Nick's Voice His Own Attitude To The 'roaring Twenties.'
Notice The Juxtaposition Between Gatsby's Trademarked Pink And Daisy's "White". How Gatsby Is "Pink" Implies That He Is Imperfect And Of A Different Class Of The Established Rich But How It Stood Out As A "Bright Spot Of Color" Places Emphasis On Gatsby's Unique Personality ("...Gift For Hope Such As Ihave Never Seen And Which Is Not Likely I Shall Ever See Again.") Nick Uses An Interesting Adjective To Descirbe Gatsby's Dream: "Incorruptible." The Reader Feels A Sense Of Irony Even Sacasum In Nick's Tone As We Very Well Do Know That Gatsby's Dream Was Derstined For Failure Ever Since He First Meet Daisy.
It Also Seems Silly Of Course To Cry Over Shirts. But Not Only Does It Reveal Daisy's Inner Swallowness But It Is Not The Shirts Themselves That Overwhelm Her But What They Symbolize: Gatsby's Extraordinary Dedication To His Dream. Wouldn't You Be Moved To Tears To Find Yourself The Object Of So Much Adoration?
After The Events That Allowed Nick To Realise That " It (His Tolerance) Has A Limit" - He Declares That His Experiences In New York Lead To A Strong Negative Reaction And Eventually Returns To The Midwest In Search Of A Less Morally Ambiguous Environment- "(Attach Quote Here.)" The Diction Of Words Like "Uniform" And " Moral Attention" Create A Militaristic Picture In The Readers Mind And Stands In Stark Contrast With Morally Ambiguous New York That Has No Clear Right Or Wrong.
