Journal 20 – The
Great Gatsby Conclusion
By using imagery to describe the parties that Gatsby would
host, Nick explains that positive energy and happiness will never be in that
house again. Gatsby’s days of hosting parties had come to an end and Nick
retreats to his place on the shore to think about his changing surroundings. The
green light that Nick describes symbolizes the hope for Gatsby and his dreams.
Gatsby always hoped that he would be with Daisy. Nick connects Gatsby with the
sailors by explaining that they both had an obsession with that green light. In
both cases, their hopes and dreams ended up hurting them in the end. Gatsby
died and the sailors were overwhelmed with many hardships. The dreams of both
Gatsby and the sailors gave them false hope that they would reach their goals.
