Gatsby ch. 1-3: Characterization

The first few chapters of The Great Gatsby show Fitzgerald's depth of characterization.


Select one of the following main characters and identify two passages from the text that develop the character in two different ways (ex. one a physical description, one on the character's possessions or one of what the character says, one of what is said about the character). 

Please do not repeat passages that have been chosen, provide page numbers, and analyze the passages you choose.
