Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway are two of the Great Gatsby main characters. Nick moves into the house everyone calls an eye sore which happens to be right next to the Gatsby mansion. Nick hears many different things about Gatsby, however, he does not officially meet Gatsby until he attends one of his parties.
Gatsby and Nick have an interesting relationship with each other. At this point in time, you can not exactly tell whether their friendship is real, or if Gatsby is really just using Nick. Gatsby seems very friendly to Nick, but it seems to me like Gatsby kid of forces Nick into doing some things. He might pick him up randomly and tell him "you are going to lunch with me and I have a story to tell you". It's like he doesn't really give much of a choice about anything he really does with Gatsby. And every time he does something with Gatsby, its for Gatsby benefit or something that Gatsby wants Nick to know.
A good example of this is when Gatsby has Jordan Baker tell Nick about the history between Gatsby and Daisy. Gatsby is still in love with Daisy who is married to Tom and he decides that he is going to use Nick as a way to reconnect with her. Nick of course being the time of person he is, never turning away anybody, helps Gatsby out, but once Gatsby is back with Daisy, will that be the end of their relationship?

Winter in Chicago
It's winter time in Chicago
And we all know what that means
It's time to bring out the heavy coats
And time to drink cocoa so hot,
You can always see the steam
Winter time in Chicago
Does not just mean its cold
But it also means that Christmas is near
And time for school work to be put on hold
Its time for spending time with family
Putting up the Christmas Tree
Time to start making Christmas Lists
With all the things on Christmas morning
You would like to see
Its a time to think of others
Whom you know and love
