It becomes obvious that this green light is not Daisy, but a sign representing Gatsby’s dream of having her Through close examination of the green light, the reader learns that the force that enables Gatsby to follow his lifelong aspiration is of the American Dream. “He stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward- and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that m9ght have been at the end of the dock” (21). Fitzgerald uses this green light as a symbol of hope, money, and jealousy. When Gatsby looks up at the green light, he remembers this dream and follows it so he can be with the woman he loves.

    “Son, if you make it to Queens, our time in Canada would truly be worth it.” This phrase was brought back into my mind while reading Fitzgerald 's “The Great Gatsby.” I saw myself in Gatsby, a man with the drive to change his live.

Gatsby died a sad man for his criminal actions and terrible goal. I may not be great, but I sure am happy!
