"Gatsby's smile had a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life....It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself." (48)
This quote shows how Gatsby had a way with people. He was charming and people were amazed by him. It also gives the reader a little more insight into society in the 20's. It shows that people were more superficial and that even in a time when they were all focused on parties and drinking that they would take time to notice something as simple as Gatsby's smile. Gatsby wasn't like others. He has a real human quality about him that was something to be noticed.
My version:
The view of the beautiful mountains and hills and a peaceful feel to it, it had a way of making you forget all of your problems and see what is really important. It made you see a new side of yourself and it changed you.
