In this essay I will show you thesimilarities and differences in Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway. First off the similarities. Although there are not many there is a few to be talkedabout. Number one similarity between Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway is the location oftheir establishment. Both Jay Gatsby and Nick Carrawy live in the same neighborhood,West Egg. This is the least fashionable of the two but still a nice place to live.
Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway live in the same neighborhood of West Egg,and they both are hardworking people chasing the American Dream. Nick Carraway doesn't even own a nice car. The West Egg is for the middle class. Nick Carraway on the otherhand went into business and is just surviving. Jay Gatsby also enricheshis social status by throwing huge keggers at his mansion.

It was not handed to him like TomBuchanan had it handed to him. Another similaritybetween Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway is they are both hardworking people in search ofthe American Dream.
