Answer and Explanation:

Nick is the narrator of "The Great Gatsby" and it is through his opinions that the reader can create their own opinions about New York high society. In the words of Nick himself, we can describe him as a tolerant and open-minded person, which allows him to transition into several different scenarios in the book. However, the reader can characterize it more deeply according to the first and second chapters of the book.

In these chapters, Nick proves, in fact, to be a tolerant and calm person. However, the reader may doubt his ability to be open-minded, as he makes a lot of judgments and is very cryptic, especially in the second chapter, about people and everything he sees.

Nick is a great observer in these two chapters and a good listener. This allows people to feel free to talk to him, allowing him to analyze and observe them deeply, being a detailed and intense narrator.
