Move to East Coast

In first chapter of The Great Gatsby, Nick is introduced. Book introduce him as nonjudgmental person, who don't judge someone by his own eye and thought. Since narrator is nonjudgmental person, it makes us to know truth of person. Nick never say neither someone is good or someone is bad.He was lived in Minnesota, in middle part of United State. After he graduate Yale he decided to move to East coast, to West Eggs. In West Egg, there was lots of new moneys. When he got in to Tom's mansion, he felt not good, he seems uncomfortable in fancy house. I would feel that to when I go to fancy house with expansive decorations. Nick met Tom, Daisy, and Jordan at dinner. Tom was Nick's alumnus from college, and Daisy is his cousin. Daisy lives under Tom's command because Tom was strict and violent man. I think Nick fell to Jordan because Daisy and Tom keep stayed together. So, Nick just stick with Jordan and he started to felling to her. Jordan mentioned about Gatsby and Nick wanted to know more about Gatsby. Chapter 1 shows that Nick's feeling about East, West Eggs, and he felt he isn't belong there, seems he doesn't like the  life in there, like all the fancy stuff in there, and way the rich people live.
