These articles sum it all up fairly well. http://nealabbott.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/the-reliability-of-nick-carraway-part-one-the-naysaying-narrator/ http://quote-companion.com/nick-carraway-quotes-analysis/ There's one quote that you should include above all the others: "I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known" (p. 69). Honest people (which are few and far between) don't go around calling themselves "honest." Sounds shifty, doesn't it? :)
