Blog Assignment #21- Gastby ch. 1-4

Nick seems like he's detached because he isn't rich and is new to New York. Gatsby seems detached because he's had tragedy in his life and is looking for a way to drown it out. The main difference is that Gatsby has money to drown his sorrows in, whereas Nick must rely on others while not getting too attached. Nick also feels like he can't relate to anyone because of his status, while Gatsby is able to seclude himself using money.
