If I could change school, I would move it to somewhere in the world that is very nice and beautiful. School would be on a beach or near a very nice lake. It would always be in the summer and every way you look would be a good view. The halls would never full and there would be less people in every class. The classes would never be boring and if I didn't feel like going I would have to.
There would be nap time, snack time, and recess every day. All classes would be like preschool. All we would do is color in the lines, learn how to share, and play games. We would also make money do it. Only people we like would be there.

Great Gatsby: What it all means
In The Great Gatsby Nick was a listener who was a main audience for everyone's life story. He found out everyone's true self and was trusted by them. Even when he first came into the novel, he was thought of as a trustworthy person by all the characters. I can relate to him.
Nick is the narrator of the story and has a presence in everyone's life. He befriends his neighbors, relatives, and new people. I am also a quiet listener type of person. Instead of always being in the conversation, I will listen to people's thoughts and figure out more about them.
Nick is also a trusted person. He is thought of by everyone as someone they can go and talk to about problems or stories that are personal. I am also someone who can listen to personal stories. I can keep secrets very well when people trust me and believe I'm a loyal person.
In the end as Nick character progresses to fully understand the reasons people are inclined to do what they do. He learns about himself as well, either personally, emotionally, or physically conforming to fit into others. I, too, change with each new person I meet. But not always for the good. Throughout my life, just like Nick, I have grown to judge while judging myself.
