Read the excerpt from fitzgerald’s the great gatsby. my own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so i had a view of the water, a partial view of my neighbor’s lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month. what does this excerpt reveal about nick? he is not particularly impressed by material wealth and fashionable appearances. he plans to move into another house as soon as the opportunity arises. he is wealthy enough to live in west egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place. he is desperate to become part of the elite society of west egg and east egg.
