Journal #20


Journal 20 – The Great Gatsby Conclusion

Using the imagery of Gatsby’s parties Nick talks about how there will not be happiness and joy in that house again. People still drove up to the house for the never ending fun but without Gatsby the parties were no longer there. For Gatsby, the green light was his symbol of hope. Hope one day that Daisy would come over the short distance and they would be reunited and in love once again. The Dutch sailors viewed the green trees that made way for Gatsby’s house as their new, hope filled world. Gatsby and the sailors had the same hopes of having a new future.
