"They will throw everything overboard and have an intermarriage between black and white" (pg. 130)

Tom is asking why Gatsby is creating destruction in his marriage with Daisy. He then moves on to explain that if this is happening and he is okay with it them him and Daisy will be on two different pages. He compares it to the colours black and white. Black is a dark colour usually representing something bad. White is a colour of innocence, purity, and youth-fullness. It is used to describe individuals as calm, and pure.  These two colours do not see eye to eye and Tom is displaying that him and Daisy will be like this.

This quote the innocence of Daisy and Jordan during the situation. The two women are naive to what is later going to happen in the chapter, as well as keep their innocence in this part of the passage. They are also wearing white to show they are not a threat to the other characters around then, rather they are pure compared to others. -Ashley

"Search for her among soggy whitewashed alleys." (pg. 84)

Although Daisy is innocent and pure, there is a side of her that is hollow and doesn't care about others. She married Tom for his money and she is staying with him although she doesn't love him for the money. Whitewashed alleys show that white is pure but its only washed with the colour its not fully the colour. Just like Daisy is not fully pure and innocent.

"Sometimes she and Miss Baker talked at once, unobtrusively and with a bantering inconsequence that was never quite chatter, that was as cool as their white dresses and their impersonal eyes in the absence of all desire" (pg.12)

This quote shows the innocence of both women because they are dressed in white and in a youthful way both women accept Tom and Nick. Also, both women are displayed to be pure and the colour white is significant because white is pure and youthful as both women are described to be. This colour is the perfect way to describe Daisy and her purity and innocent nature.

"A tray of cocktails floated at us through the twilight, and we sat down at a table with the two girls in yellow and three men, each one introduced to us as Mr. Mumble." (Page 43)
Throughout chapter 3, the author describes many of the girls at Gatsby's party to be wearing yellow dresses. Because the people that attend his parties often have money or belong to a high social status, its obvious that the yellow colour of their dresses is used to describe the women's social status or wealth.

" I bought a dozen volumes on banking and credit and

- This is describing how he believes that these books can make him money, the colour red seems like an evil, arrogant, colour, and by him taking the "easy route" it can be seen as the selfish and arrogant road. Gold can be a symbol of having a dream, hope or aspiration,  while reading these books he hopes to become a "Well rounded man". All though he has this dream, he will do anything to have it, being red and gold.

" Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red and white Georgian Colonial mansion overlooking the bay" (Page 9)

The house is as a cheerful red because red can symbolize a selfish, rich and cruel person, which can describe Tom.

This quote is important because in this sense yellow is used as a way of describing wealth. Before you enter the wasteland, on the boarder is this yellow building that separates the rich from the poor - a prominent theme throughout the novel. The wasteland is a way of showing the difference between the poor class and the rich class.

The gray beard kind of represents an old man who is in a lot of pain and sadness because while he is already old and never really go to see Gatsby much, now he has to find out that his son is dead, which drained all the energy from him.
