What is there not to say in this blog in relation to "The Great Gatsby"?
All the three items listed on the Blog name are related to the one and only-- Jay Gatsby, aka James Gatz.
Green light refers to his one unreacheable dream, always looking forward to the day of tomorrow for a chance to gain it. A dream so forbidden to be grasped, but a symbol that gives out hope for another night to go by. In this case Gatsby's dream of being able to get Daisy to be his one and only. As he always tries to reach certain standards that will please her, like that of having money. He tries and tries always having a glance at the green light- figuring that he has some type of chance of winning her. Little does he know that his dream of reaching her is hollow-- hollow enough to send echoining sound waves at high frequencies.
The yellow car-- ah yes, a way to symbolize his wealth and ironically his death.
One of the latest models that he bought, and rode with his lover. "A clown car" as Tom refered to. A materialistic object that didn't give him a superiority, but made him a fool. After Daisy accidentally kills Myrtle using the car, Wilson shortly wants to find the owner of the yellow car-- and bamm, he finds Gatsby is the owner assuming that he must be killed in revenge for the killing of his wife- Myrtle. It was an object Fitzgerald surely fit into the novel so that Gatsby could be seen as a character who was a fool in love capable of so many things to only make himself suffer in the end.
She wasn't worth it; something he realized too late.
Last and most importantly the church steeple- the greatest symbolism for Gatsby's wealth.
Having Nick view the Church Steeple and figure out some of the pieces of the puzzle himself. An ironic way since Nick is very self-preserved. Nick notices that a lot of the times Gatsby uses his own wealth to cover for his real intentions. The real intention to gain Daisy for himself- due to the love he has for her. That's exactly when he starts realizing that there must have been a connection between Daisy and Gatsby from far back - a great connection. A connection strong enough to only be paid by death (as in Gatsby's).
