Answer: Having the skills to communicate, read, and write is vital for social and economic development. It allows individuals to expand their knowledge and understanding of society. Literacy is not simply the ability to read and write, but rather the ability to use these skills and communicate effectively.
In the beginning of "The Great Gatsby", Nick brags that he is not at all judgmental and is able to understand where people are coming from. This leads him to trusting people and thinking the best of them. By the end of the novel, after he has had so many uncomfortable and unfortunate experiences tangled up in the lives of Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, Jordan, etc, Nick finds himself to be very judgmental of their lifestyle and personalities, especially the Buchanans. He removes himself from their company and becomes more reserved, less trusting.
To me that is a personal question, so just describe where you live, popular places near where you live and maybe even what the people are like(nice, mean etc.)
