To me the color green represents a lot of thing like a plant. A plant will die but it will soon grown again so I think of regrowth, new beginnings, harmony, hope, and peace. Chapter 1 page 24 it conveys “Involuntarily I glanced seaward and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked once more for Gatsby, he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.”  I feel like Gatsby believes there is still hope for him to be with Daisy. He believes he can make a new beginning with her and get with her. " [H]e 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." I say gatsby has hope to one day be Daisy again and knows that one day it will happen and also that why he makes all those parties cause he had hope one she will pop or someone might pop up to help him. - arleth garcia

To me "yellow music" represents happiness when listening to that certain type of music.When I think of yellow I think of smiles and hope.In chaper 3 it says
"The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from
the sun and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail
music and the opera of voices pitches a key higher."(Page 44)
That quote symbolizes the type of music and emotion that the guest are feeling with the music.The color yellow is being used to show the feeling with the music.In chapter 3 it also says "Laughter
is easier, minute by minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word." this quote shows the emotion felt by everyone in the party.You can see all the happiness and good feeling and how you can forget about the bad for a brief minute.

To me the color white represents purity and inncoence. It also makes me feel at peace, and clean. In the Great Gatsby the color white is used in chapter 1 when it states "they were both in white and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house. I must have stood for a few moments listening to the whip and snap of the curtains and the groan of a picture on the wall" (Fitzgerald 10-11). This statemnt shows that how Daisy, and Jordan wearing white dresses represent their innocence and purity in the story, and also to Nick.

In chapter 1 page 24 it states "Involuntarily I glanced seaward- and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock." When I think of the word green I think of happiness, hope, nature, jealousy, and much more. Who really knows how he felt in that moment but as for Gatsby, Nick said "But I didn’t call to him for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone—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." As if he was reaching for that light to guide him or give him hope. - Aysha Johnson.

In the story the quote states: "The eyes of Doctor T. J.
Eckleburg are blue and gigantic—their retinas are one yard
high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of
enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent
nose." I chose to use the image of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg eyes because the narrator described them as blue and gigantic which the color symbolizes calmness and peacefulness (Chapter 2 page 1).
The quote supports my reasoning because its like Dr. T.J is calmly looking down on them while he's in a peaceful place. --Kayla Bailey

When I think of the word blue, I think of it representing hope or calm but I also think of sadness. In chapter 2, blue was used to describe Doctor T.J Eckleburg's eyes. "The eyes of Doctor T. J.
Eckleburg are blue and gigantic—their retinas are one yard
high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of
enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent
nose. Evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there
to fatten his practice in the borough of Queens, and then
sank down himself into eternal blindness or forgot them
and moved away. But his eyes, dimmed a little by many
paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground." (26). When Nick says the word blue he is describing his eyes as having hope in them for the Valley of Ashes. And when it says that his eyes dimmed he is losing hope and is becoming scared for his town.

The color black can resemble or be associated with many things such as elegance, fear and depth. "The whole town is desolate. All the cars have the left rear painted as black as a mourning wreath and there's a persistant wail all night along the North Shore."(12) To me i believe it can be taken into a deeper meaning as to using the words desolate and mourning which both deal with bleakness or being dismal. "The tears coursed down her cheeks -- not freely, however, for when they came into contact with her heavily beaded eyelashes they assumed an inky color, and pursued the rest of their way in slow black rivulets."(56) Black can be a color to represent sadness in the sense that the woman is weeping which also represents sadness, and the inky color is most likely to be some sort of makeup colliding with her tears. -Haylie Freeman

When I think about the color yellow,  I always start thinking about something that brings me joy and happiness.  One of the quotes i found talking about yellow is in chapter 3 it says " The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from  the sun and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail  music and the opera of voices pitches a key higher. Laughter  is easier, minute by minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped  out at a cheerful word. The groups change more swift" (44). This quote just made think about how fun and joyful it is being in a party and all the people dancing, the music getting louder. And how in parties people just kind of let go.

RiHanna Murphy -- When I think  of the color blue I think it represents sad and calm. From the story in where it says "The eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic, their retinas are one yard
high" and "But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground" in chapter 2 page 1and 2 . It supports my reasoning because paintless days over sun and rain seem sad like those days when u would watch the drops of rain race down yo window or hearing the sound of the rain hitting stuff was calming but also sad because u couldn't go outside from the heavy pouring of rain.

Sochil Mecen:
"Occasionally a line of grey cars
crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and
comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up
with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which
screens their obscure operations from your sight." (third sentence of chapter two).
Usually, when you come to think of the color gray, the feeling that normally would come to mind is 'sadness', 'dullness', or anything else related. This quote gives you a visual imagery of a depressing state that the people seem to be in due to greed and lack of humbleness.

"Gray" connects to "old age" for me. Gray comes up in the "Valley of Ashes" in "The Great Gatsby." The text states, "The valley of ashes is bounded on one side by a small foul
river, and when the drawbridge is up to let barges through,
the passengers on waiting trains can stare at the dismal
scene for as long as half an hour" (27). Here, words like 'foul' and 'dismal' seem to symbolize decay and rotting of the American Dream. It could also represent the moral decay of people in the 1920's due to the negative effects of greed.

"Blue" to me is a person or a place being calm, peaceful, and relaxed but it can also represent sadness. Blue was introduced to us in chapter 3 in "The Great Gatsby stating "There was music from my neighbors house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and  the champagne and the stars."(43). Reading this quote made me imagine a nice calm garden full of flowers and plants with music playing in the background with joyous people having a good time and enjoying each others company.
