Gatsby #21

I feel like Gatsby and Nick have some similarities in how they live. Gatsby seems really sporadic and spur of the moment, more so than Nick. While Nick still has some implied spontaneity, he doesn't throw extravagant parties and then if someone rips their dress, gets their address and sends them a new one. Gatsby and Nick seem to both like company, hence neither really have been alone when they are mentioned in the book. Although, Gatsby does like the finer things in life, and seems to always have something to say, whereas Nick lives a somewhat simple life, and tends to be quieter.
