Ah, but this is what makes Daisy so attractive and yet so unattainable.  Daisy, in addition to a lover's obsession, also proves to be a monetary obsession as well.  In my opinion, Daisy would be the ultimate prize to someone like Gatsby:  the acquisition of his love and the only way to achieve the inherited wealth of East Egg.

I had to follow the sound of it for a moment, up and down, with my ear alone, before any words came through. a damp streak of hair lay like a dash of blue paint across her cheek, and her hand was wet with glistening drops as I took it to help her from the car.

I was happier on the lawns because I had on shoes from England with rubber nobs on the soles that bit into the soft ground. I had on a new plaid skirt also that blew a little in the wind, and whenever this happened the red, white, and blue banners in front of all the houses stretched out stiff and said tut-tut-tut-tut, in a disapproving way.

"The rain was still falling, but the darkness had parted in the west, and there was a pink and golden billow of foamy clouds above the sea" (Fitzgerald, 94).
The weather is used to depict how Daisy is feeling about Gatsby and their evening together. The fact that she uses the colour gold, shows that Gatsby was able to convince her to see him as wealthy and prosperous just as he intended.

"An hour later the front door opened nervously, and Gatsby, in a white flannel suit, silver shirt, and gold-coloured tie, hurried in" (Fitzgerald, 84).
Fitzgerald attempts to portray Gatsby as a valuable asset. He is shown wearing gold and silver to indicate how successful and wealthy he has become. He wears white to show that he is still as honest and innocent as he was the first day he meet daisy. By wearing these colours, not only is he trying to impress Daisy, but he is also reassuring himself that he is wealthy and confident, giving him the confidence to face Daisy.

"His bedroom was the simplest room of all -- expect where the dresser was garnished with a toilet set of pure dull gold" (Fitzgerald, 91).
This quote shows Gatsby's true character, he is a simple man of a simple upbringing. It shows his coming to wealth and how 'tainted' it was when describing the gold as 'dull' and being a 'toilet' set. Additionally, the gold being described as a 'toilet set' shows how little wealth he actually has in comparison to people with old money.

"It was dark now, and as we dipped under a little bridge I put my arm around Jordan's golden shoulder and drew her toward me and asker her to dinner" (Fitzgerald, 79).
When Nick refers to Jordan's 'Golden shoulder' he's not necessarily talking about her skin tone, but her social status with in the community. Nick could be using Jordan to make himself seem to be of a higher status than he truly is. Additionally, this shows how Nick possibly values people only based on their riches or social status than their actual character.

"Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red and white Georgian Colonial mansion overlooking the bay" (Fitzgerald, 7/8).

This quote talks about the detailed mansion and it's bright colors.

"Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her; If you can bounce for her too, Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover, I must have you!" (Fitzgerald)
This quote seem to indicate someones use of material deception in order to win over affection, from possibly a women. Basically it depicts, 'bling-ing' yourself out, so that a woman who would otherwise not notice you -- pay attention and return it with affection. This is precisely what Gatsby does, he wears a "gold hat", figuratively, to win over Daisy's attention and/or affection.

"Occasionally a line of gray cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak, and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud, which screens their obscure operations from your sight. " (Fitzgerald, 23)

"On weekends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains." pg 39

"Involuntarily I glanced seaward--and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far way, that might have been the end of a dock."(Fitzgerald 21)
This light represents Gatsby’s dream and perhaps the fact that it is “minute and far way”, suggests not only his ability to dream but also the fact that it is unattainable.

"I bought a dozen volumes on banking and credit and investment securities, and they stood on my shelf in red and gold like new money from the mint, promising to unfold the shining secrets that only Midas and Morgan and Maecenas knew" (Fitzgerald, 4).
Nick wanting to start a career in finance, showcases his desire for upward class mobility—a desire shared by several characters, which he will come to criticize. However, in chapter one, Nick worships at the idea of money which includes both mythical and historical figures. Midas, Morgan, and Maecenas are all wealthy, historical, successful people. This quote reveals Nick's aspirations to be as wealthy and successful as these people, even though he is far from as rich as they are.

"The only completely stationary object in the room was an enormous couch on which two young women were buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon. 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"(Fitzgerald, 9).

White is suggesting purity or, in contrast, a void of something such as intellectualism. This part shows that Daisy and her friend Jordan Baker just like in a dreamlike setting, and it also emphasizes that their inability to deal with reality.
