Nick Carraway is one of the few people whom he knows is honest( Fitzgerald , 59). He learns his reserve of judgment from his father. “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,” he told Nick , “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” (Fitzgerald , 1). Nick has seen so much he could’ve criticized but he remembered his father’s words and reserved his judgment especially when he was around Tom , Daisy , Gatsby and Myrtle.
Most of the strange actions happened in the West Egg. One day , NIck went to accompany Tom to meet the woman he’s having an affair and saw how flirty Myrtle and Tom got as he went to grab chairs.

After they bought the dog they set off to the apartment and Nick didn’t feel comfortable with going to the apartment but didn’t refuse the invitation Tom offered him(Fitzgerald , 28). Most people would have said something like “Why do you people rent an apartment and use business as an excuse to have an affair with your partner who isn’t your spouse.” Once again Nick reserved his judgement going back to his father’s words. Seeing affairs and not the only strange thing Nick avoided criticising. There was a day in which Gatsby invited him on a day out. They had a conversation about how Nick wins little and Gatsby was willing to give him extra money in his business.
“Well, this would interest you. It wouldn’t take much of your time and you might pick up a nice bit of money. It happens to be a rather confidential sort of thing.” Nick had no choice to cut him off. He had an idea that his business may have to do with drug dealing or being a “bootlegger” (Fitzgerald, 82). Although, this offer caught Nick by surprise he still managed to be polite and to treat him as a man of honor who makes money the truthful
