Explanation:
The first line of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby is one of the most famous opening lines in American literature: “In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.” The line sets the tone for the novel and introduces the reader to the character of Nick Carraway, the narrator of the story, as he reflects on his past and the events that led him to become involved with the wealthy and enigmatic Jay Gatsby.
