Nick thinks he's one of the most honest people he know's because he does not no to many people.Also because the people he does know are all liars like his friend who his cheating on his wife with a married woman.
Yes i do belive that Nick is honest and so is Gatsby, thats why he got along with him so well.

Nick thinks he is one of the few honest people he knows because he does not know many honest people. He has a friend that is cheating on his wife. He also has a girl that he s interested in who he admits is dishonest. he is surrounded by lies so is bound to assume he is one of the few not contributing to the mass. I think he is honest compared to his companions and to a point very truthful. The fact is though that no one is completely honest. Nick like anyone else has his secrets and has told his lies. The difference he hold is that maybe he has less of these or he is just better at hiding them.

Nick thinks that he is one of the few honest he knows because he is talking about himself. Of course he thinks that he is honest because he is the only one who knows what is in his mind. Also the people that he is surrounded by are cheaters and liars, so the bar isn't set very high.

Nick believes that he is one of the most honest people he knows because of the environment he is living in. The few people that he knows have shown dishonesty. Jorden lies about the rental car and Tom Buchanan is ceating on his wife. Yes, i believe that Nick is a honest man, especially compared to everyone arund him.

Nick thinks he is one of the few honest people he knows because he does not know a lot of many honest people. He also believes he is one of the few honest people due to the fact how his friend is cheating on his wife. That does not set a good example for anyone. Compared to his friends, Nick is a honest person.

Nick thinks that he is honest because most of his friends are liars. Nick doesn't have a lot of friends, so he doesn't know how to judge people by comparing them to his few friends. I think Nick is honest because he doesn't really have anything to hide. His life is not very lively like Gatsby's. Nick is alone at his house and does mainly the same thing everyday, so there is nothing for him to lie about. Yes I do think Nick is honest. Gatsby has a very energetic life, and keeps to himself at his own parties, that is kind of suspicious. So i think Gatsby can be honest about some things, but lie about other things.
