And therefore a man must know how to estimate a sour face. The bystanders look askance on him in the public street or in the friends parlour. If this aversation had its origin in contempt and resistance like his own， he might well go home with a sad countenance； but the sour faces of the multitude， like their sweet faces, have no deep cause， but are put on and off as the wind blows and a newspaper directs.

It eluded us then， but thats no mattertomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther And one fine morningSo we beat on， boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.Answer the following questions:(1) Do you think Gatsby deserves to be called “the great”?
