CH3#4
After Nick meets Gatsby he is surprised to see how down to earth he is. He is intrigued by his curious nature.
ch3#2
Nick describes Gatsby as sophisticated , tall and tan. He was intrigued by Gatsby whereas he did not drink at his own parties. He also thought Gatsby did not look he could kill a man.
CH3#1
I agree that Nick is a very critical person. i also agree that in the beginning he judged Gatsby harshly and his outlook on Gatsby changes as the book progresses.
