The essay should use specific details and examples. Quality essays will consist of an introduction, thesis statement, distinct body paragraphs, smooth transitions and a sound conclusion. Check your essay for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. Finally, be certain the writing is entirely your own work. Nick Carraway, the narrator in The Great Gatsby, is Daisy’s cousin and becomes Gatsby’s friend. Despite these relationships, Nick watches the people around him make selfish and destructive decisions without doing or saying anything to stop them. Some would consider him a good friend, while others would not. In a well-developed essay, discuss the following: What qualities make someone a good friend? Do friends have a responsibility to help one another not make mistakes? When should friends speak honestly to one another, and when should they remain quiet and let one another make their own decisions? By your definition, is Nick a good friend to Daisy? To Gatsby?
