1.  in the first two pages of the novel, Nick Carraway claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgment." Do you find that this is true so far? Please provide textual evidence to support your position.

when reading these first chapters i could not help but feel that careaway does not reserve his judgment. i believe that he would like to think he does but he really does not. for instance when he describes the way daisy talks he says that she might talk in such a low voice so that someone would have to lean in close. he says other things about daisy that were completely judgemental. another instance is when he describes tom. he says that he were like a man that enjoyed everything at the age of 21 so that everything afterwards seemed bitter. this quote says a lot more about careaway than what he says himself.
