...The green light has a many different symbolic meaning that what first comes to thought. Gatsby would often reach towards or look at the light. Also, Gatsby built his house across from Daisy and used the light to feel closer to Daisy. When the green light is first introduced to the book, it seems very miniscule in the grand scheme of things, but when further looked into, the role of the light is revealed as a important symbol to the story. The most obvious symbol of the green light is Gatsby’s desire and hope to be with Daisy once more. In chapter one Gatsby is at his dock looking longingly towards Daisy’s dock with the green light. Then later on in chapter five Gatsby is caught reaching towards the green light as if he expects Daisy’s hand to be next to his. Gatsby has a sense of hope when looking at the light. That hope is carried on throughout the book. He believes that it is his way of staying connected to Daisy and hope to be reunited once again with her. He hopes that Daisy will learn to love him like she once did, and things would go back to like they were before. Daisy, of course, can’t bring herself to leave Tom for Gatsby. Gatsby continues in his hopeful fantasy of the past. He becomes overly consumed by his fantasies that his thought process in the present is manipulated into thinking that are just simply not reality. Its a dream that Gatsby strives for, and will go to any lengths to get it. When Gatsby realizes at the hotel that Daisy also shares love for Tom, Gatsby’s...

...Over the Rainbow “While we admired he brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher- shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple-green and lavender and faint orange, with monograms of Indian blue,” (Fitzgerald 92). The theme of colors is present throughout the entire novel The Great Gatsby. Although some colors are more prominent than others, all are equally important in displaying qualities of each character. Each color represents a distinct feeling for the duration of the book. Some are very obvious in what feeling they are trying to express, while others are more abstract, but significant nonetheless. Colors are the best way to exhibit an overall feel for a character or time frame. As a rule of thumb, white usually...

...important and widely used in the book is the color white. In the novel we are constantly hearing about white this and that but you ever stopped thought about how it is different for each character? Tom for example it is the fact that he is cheating on his wife and the constant covering up of that fact. For Gatsby it is the covering up of his past and how he truly came into his money. For Daisy it is the growing hatred for her husband which is unconventional at the time that is why Daisy says “it is best for a girl to be a pretty fool”. How it connects to the theme is that people are constantly scanning and finding a way to feign and con people out of what they want but maintaining the image of innocence....

...Gatsby and Tom recognizes this which later leads to conflicts between to two. Early on in the novel Nick sees Gatsby and states that, “he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way… Involuntarily I glanced seaward - and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away” (Pg. 15). The green light at the end of the water symbolizes Daisy, because that side of the water, near the dock is where Daisy lives. The green light is a very important symbol in the book. Gatsby’s objective throughout the novel is to be with Daisy and get her away from Tom. However, Tom always has a presence over Daisy that blocks Gatsby from being with her. That is no different in this quote, where Tom is represented as the dark blue...

...The Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald Chapter 6 Color Analysis May 24, 2011 Jay Gatsby | -“torn green jersey” (104): The color green symbolizes wealth and money. At this time in the book, Gatsby is working for Dan Cody, the guy who greatly supplies his wealth. The fact that the jersey is torn signifies the hard work that Gatsby demonstrates which then leads to him reaping the benefits of hard work. This section furthers to talk about his parents and how they were “unsuccessful farm people” also that Gatsby “was a son of God.” This is to say that although Gatsby’s parents were hard workers, they were unsuccessful in reaching their ideal “American dream”. Gatsby is currently making those dreams happen. He was helping to complete his father’s business, and is therefore relatively “a son of God.”---- The green jersey also symbolizes the new life that he yearns for that is full of wealth. Right at this stage in the book, Gatsby is called different names: Gatsby, James Gats, Jay Gatsby, young Gats: Each name recognizes a different stages of growth towards the Wealthy life.-“His brown, hardened body lived naturally through the half fierce, half lazy work of the bracing days.” (104): Brown is the color of earth, and of “getting down and dirty”.

He always believes Daisy will leave Tom and choose to marry him again. In real life, when the traffic light turns green, it is a sign tells us it is safe to go. Gatsby interprets this as he is right with everything he is doing right now and he will soon achieve his goals. When he says “I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,” he said, nodding determinedly. “She’ll see.”(Fitzgerald, 110.), it shows he has the confidence that he is on the right track.

...Green is one of the most used symbolic colors in the novel behind white, gold and yellow. Green represents a couple different things according to when this is said, “So besides the disillusionment of dream, the green light also represents new hope and the ceaseless struggle towards our dream”(Zhang, CS Canada). The color green symbolizes new hope, a disillusionment of a dream, and a ceaseless struggle towards the American dream. The American dream is the idea that every U.S citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success. The American dream was very popular among many Americans during this time. Daisy had a green light on her docks, and that was visible from Gatsby’s house. Gatsby looked out at that light very because he still had feelings for Daisy. When Fitzgerald says, “Involuntarily I glanced seaward and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the of the dock”(Zhang, CS Canada),it gives us more information about the green light. As Gatsby is looking out to sea there are many things that could catch his eyes, but the only thing he notices is the green light at the end of the dock. Fitzgerald makes it clear that Gatsby made a very close connection with the light when he writes “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter tomorrow...

...whatever it took to become successful. If you are willing to put forth hard work and effort the American dream is possible for anyone to achieve. The American dream defined by many is the idea that anyone can succeed through hard work which potentially leads to a happy, successful life. Others also believe that freedom, relationships, and fulfillment play a role in the American dream. Critics often suggest that not everyone has the same opportunities of being able to “live the dream” because of class, race, religion, and ethnicity. In the story, The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald symbolizes the hope and opportunity that can be found in the new land, what comes to be known as the American Dream in the quote, “a fresh, green breast of the new world(Chapter 9).” The color green symbolizes the hope and opportunity that can be found in the new land, what comes to be known as the American Dream. An example of a metaphor in the story is Gatsby’s house. This image serves as a key symbol of aspiration, reflecting on both Gatsby's success as an American self-made man and the mirage of an identity he has created to win Daisy's love. Gatsby follows his American Dream as he buys the house to be across the bay from Daisy, and has parties to gain wide-spread recognition in order to impress her. Yet, Owl Eyes compares Gatsby's mansion to a house of cards, muttering "that if one brick was removed the whole library was liable to collapse(Chapter 3)." Ultimately, the inevitable collapse occurs, as...

...hummingbirds prefer bright colors opposed to darker colors. The hummingbird has a red throat so considering that I would think they prefer red or something similar to red when it comes to picking flowers to visit. Research Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are primarily in the United States. These small birds are hard to find in the sky because they are only 2-3 in and can flap their wings 53 times in one second. That’s kind of hard to believe or even imagine. When it comes to the type of feeder a hummingbird feeds on doesn’t really matter. They tend to eat from any kind of feeder. When it comes to flowers they prefer, red and yellow are their preference. Experiment Materials: Hummingbirds, red flowers, blue flowers, yellow flowers, green flowers. Instructions: Place flowers 10 feet apart, release the hummingbirds from their cages and see which flowers they’re attracted to. Make a chart with tally’s for how many times to hummingbirds chose each flower. By doing this you’ll be able to tell which color they prefer more. Analysis...

...The Color Red In Director Sam Mendes’ American Beauty, Cinematographer Conrad Hall utilizes great lengths of visual silence to signify the enveloping, jarring presence of Lester Burnham’s own, imaginary world. Conrad Hall also creates startling visual silence when intensely focusing upon each character of American Beauty, and consistently morphs the lack of apparent objects into an inconspicuous focus on the striking color of Red. Through this enigmatic color, Conrad incessantly portrays the goal and lifelong desire of every character in the movie, starting with Lester Burnham. Each character is faced with a dream that is not recognized starting from the opening scene, but becomes gradually apparent through the blatant indication of Conrad’s color choice on various objects in each subsequent plot point. There are numerous shades of red as well; contrasting between each character’s superficial appearance, such as Jane’s distinct albeit crude lipstick, and the essential, authentic item of desire, such as Angela Haye’s falling rose petals in Lester’s fantasies. With the brilliant amalgamation of red and specified isolation of Lester, Jane, Carolyn and Ricky, along with the enveloping shades of gray in between, Conrad imparts a language of film unique to his own perspective: telling a story not through the conversations of character, but through the stark contrasts of color and use of varied visual silence. Lester Burnham first sights the color red through the lovely, soft rose...
