The Great Gatsby - The Green L
1219 Words - 5 Pages.... neither does Daisy.
I don't believe that in our world today that we have an object that universally
symbolizes the same meaning as the green light did. The green light was physically close
to him but he thought he could never actually have it, "it" meaning Daisy. Money could
be viewed in the same sense. In our society money is everywhere, but for most of us it is
difficult to acquire all that is wanted. It is like the saying, "So close but yet so far away."

have to earn our own assets. And in the same context, Gatsby could not go kidnap Daisy,
he had to woo her and win her love. ....

1630 Words - 6 Pages.... and Natural Historians
such as Charles Darwin were swiftly building theories of evolution that defied
the Old Testament version of creation (Ford & Christ 897). God seemed to be
dissolving before a panicked England's very eyes, replaced by the vision of a

Mouth full of pearls,
Two girls
As flat as she, who whisper "We're your daughters."
The still waters
Wrap my lips,
Eyes, nose and ears, ....
