When he does this, Nick states that “I felt that Tom would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game” (6). Nick again makes a judgment by basically saying that Tom will never get past the glory days of being a football player and will forever live in the past. As Nick shows, he has a tendency of being…
