Who gives help to those who ask, parties to people who come, and not total honesty to those who inquire
Who fears snakes, bees, and spiders
Who would like to see various places around the world, snow in the winter, and Daisy as his wife

Quote
-Nick Carraway- Page 52
This quote definitely stood out to me. This is just the first part of the quote, there is much more to it. When Nick took over a paragraph to describe a single smile that Gatsby gave him, it made me think about what that smile would look like. It talks about how it understands and believes what you want it to and what you were trying to get across by what you said. It really shows that Gatsby can be very understanding in a way, and reassures people of what they have said. They way that the smile is portrayed makes me want to see a smile like that sometime.
