Question

what does Nick mean when he says "im thirty. im five years too old to lie to myself and call it honor"? From the book call “The Great Gatsby”

Answer 1

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

In Nick's mind, he apparently believes that 25 is young enough to do things like lie to yourself, but he believes at the age of thirty he cannot lie to himself anymore. When he says and call it honor he is talking about how when you're young and lie to yourself you often don't acknowledge it, but now that he's old enough to recognize what he'd be doing, it would be dishonorable if he did.
