best described as? I'm having trouble trying to define and describe the beginning of The Great Gatsby. What could it be best described as?
I'm thinking it's an epilogue placed at the beginning of the story. Or maybe It's an epilogue or something that describes Nick's admirable revelation... Not sure because the book is placed in past tense and the beginning of the book is told as of recollection of Nick's past summer - in which the actual story of the summer and Gatsby proceeds. If anyone knows the correct term or a good way to describe this (label it), please help by sharing your answer... I'd really appreciate that.
