Answer:

answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Throughout the book, we have learned that the narrator is a person that holds no judgement or grudge against anyone. He comes from a somewhat rich background. He was told by his father "whenever you want to judge someone, remember they may not have had the advantages you have had." He now lives as a stock man after leaving his family and a rumor.

2. The word east is associated with riches and old money. The people from east egg are all rich and are considered the most high class. They are they ones that judge the poorer people.

3. While nick mostly reserves judgement, he believes the marriage is worth nothing. He believes Daisy should leave Tom for a better life.

4. Gatsby is looking across the bay with his arms outstretched at a green light. The narrator can see even from a distance that his hands are shaking as if he angry or sad.
