The Great Gatsby
            
             The Great Gatsby is a really good book that deals with many different issues with
             its many different characters. A few of these characters share some characteristics while
             they are completely different at the same time. In this essay I will show you the
             similarities and differences in Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway.
            
             First off the similarities. Although there are not many there is a few to be talked
             about. Number one similarity between Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway is the location of
             their 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. The other
             neighborhood is East Egg and that is where all the rich people with their old money and
             mansions lived. The West Egg is for the middle class. Although Jay Gatsby is not middle
             class, he is not considered to live at East Egg because Jay Gatsby did not inherit his
             parents money who inherited it from their parents, he worked for it. Another similarity
             between Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway is they are both hardworking people in search of
             the American Dream. Jay Gatsby has done a little better in his search than Nick Carraway,
             but Jay Gatsby still has to work for his money. It was not handed to him like Tom
             Buchanan had it handed to him. Jay Gatsby went to Oxford and then supposedly became
             a bootlegger. This is part of how Jay Gatsby became so rich. Nick Carraway on the other
             hand went into business and is just surviving. He is not rich, but with some more hard
             work he is well on his way.
            
             Now onto the differences. Jay Gatsby and his wealth is something that differs
             from Nick Carraway. Jay Gatsby lives in a mansion where he has his servants that clean
             and maintain his establishment. Nick Carraway on the other hand lives in a house that he
             calls an "eye sore" which is stuck between two mansions. Nick Carraway's house is
             maintained but...
