why did nick go east after the great war
To me, there are two reasons why Nick comes East after the war. In practical terms, he is coming to New York because he has decided to sell bonds for a living and New York is the center of American financial markets.In more psychological terms, Nick has been changed by his experiences in the war.He feels as if the Midwest is sort of like the middle of nowhere now that he has seen more of the world. So he comes East because it seems more like someplace important and exciting.n practical terms, he is coming to New York because he has decided to sell bonds for a living and New York is the center of American financial markets.
