Gatsby associates it with Daisy. In Chapter 1 he reaches toward the light in the darkness as guidance to lead him to his goals. Gatsby’s hopes to have Daisy.

It shows the passion, and love for daisy, why he came all this way for her. He is so powerful but he cant do anything to get daisy right now he just needs to see her and all will be changed he believes.

Gatsby compares the light with Daisy. It breaks his heart not having Daisy the one thing he wants the most. "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. Involuntarily glanced seaward-- and distinguished nothing except a single green light." (Fitzgerald, Pg.20)  Gatsby follows Daisy around after he gets out of the war because before the war was when he first noticed her but was shipped off to war. She gets married while hes at war. He watches the green light thinking about daisy. He wants her so badly but is so close but far and just cant seem to get a hold of her like the light.  ]]> 2019-01-25 15:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324353826 Jayden Dack https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324353871 The green light at the end of Daisy's dock symbolizes his love for Daisy.
He associates this light with Daisy and is constantly hoping for the future with her.  He is so close to her yet he still can't reach her.  Gatsby and Daisy fell in love before he went to war and by the time he came back she was married to Tom. The green light represents what he wants but can't have. He can see the light but can't touch it. He can see Daisy all he wants but he can't have her. Green is the color of hope and hope is all that Gatsby has.   ]]> 2019-01-25 15:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324353871 Michael Perkins https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324354160 The green light represents a reminder to Jay Gatsby of Daisy. ]]> 2019-01-25 15:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324354160 Summer Marshall https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324355027 The green light at the end of the dock represents Daisy which is someone who Gatsby can't have. "--he stretched his arms out toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward--and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been at the end of the dock." Daisy has an unfaithful husband and is hurting inside. She needs someone who will treat her good. Gatsby is in love with Daisy but she's swamped in an unhealthy marriage. The light is green because it says it's okay to go but Daisy is too far out of Tom's reach because the situation she is in.]]> 2019-01-25 15:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324355027 Emily Nichols https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324356270 The green light at the end of the dock is used to represent Gatsby's call to Daisy. Green is often used to symbolize to go or to come towards, which perfectly indicates Gatsby is reaching to Daisy hoping she will come to him/be with him. Especially since Gatsby lives right across from Daisy and the light is at all times visible to her.  Gatsby uses this to gain her attention without directly calling to her in hopes she will follow it to him. The light also coincides with Gatsby's large parties hoping Daisy will attend one of them. Through all this the green light symbolizes Gatsby's hope and overall current relationship with Daisy, a distant call to see her again.]]> 2019-01-25 15:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324356270 Luis Gil https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324356376 The green light at the end of Daisy's dock represents Gatsby's dreams and hopes for the future like starting a relationship with Daisy.

The meaning of the green light is to show the pursuit of happiness from Gatsby to Daisy, knowing green means go shows that Gatsby is trying to pursue her.

I believe the light Gatsby was stretching his arms out to represents the goals he wants to accomplish. It's representing that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. "he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way.." (Fitzgerald 20) You can't ever give up on the goals you have set, even if it means chasing them forever it may seem. When he is stretching his arms out it resembles him reaching out to make it happen. That light is there for motivation and will not let him give up.   ]]> 2019-01-25 15:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324362296 Jaelyn Hendricks https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/324362672 The green light at the end of Daisy dock can stand for many things. For Gatsby can be motivation for. knowing that she is right across from he can just try to get her back. That she just that far away, or just one more step and she is mine as he grabs the light like shes right in front of him. "he stretched out his arm toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could sworn he was trembling" (Scott Fitzgerald, pg 20).  The symbol can be interpenetrated in many different ways.

''He stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way.'' he was trying to grab the green light where daisy is, where his happiness is.

Scott Fitzgerald portrays the american dream in the Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald portrays the american dream by creating rich and powerful characters that still have troubles in life. "I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling.' ( Fitzgerald, Pg.17)  Daisy ( a wealthy woman) wakes up after giving birth feeling abandoned and terrible. "My family all died and I came into a good deal of money." ( Fitzgerald, Pg. 65) Gatsby suffers the loss of his family and loved ones for wealth. The american dream has down sides like how Gatsby lost all of his family, but was able to have nice things. Daisy has lots of nice things and money but still feels hurt and abandoned. F.

Scott Fitzgerald portrays the american dream in the book The Great Gatsby. Jay Gatsby does not portray the american dream. In the book The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald shows readers this magnificent man and lifestyle. " He wants her to see his house." (Fitzgerald pg. 79) Gatsby wants to impress daisy. He wants to show her his fortune and lavish lifestyle. He is empty without her, he impresses her so she can fill that hole in his heart. Gatsby is lonely and nothing else matters to him besides Daisy. Jay Gatsby does not portray the american dream, he is empty, chasing the past, his past life, and the girl he never had. Gatsby is not fulfilled in his life because all he could so was dream about Daisy.  ]]> 2019-01-29 15:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325436075 Daphne Dugan https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325436096 In the novel, The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald uses Gatsby and the Buchanans to represent what it is like to experience the American Dream. Throughout the story, readers begin to see that these characters very much do, exhibit the properties of the American Dream. For example, Nick explains to the audience how well off Gatsby and the Buchanans are. "The one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard - with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden" (Fitzgerald 5). Fitzgerald gives us any examples that the wealth they carry is a tremendous part of their life.

Scott Fitzgerald references his characters representing the American dream. Though in the book, it is well shown that Jay Gatsby and the Buchanans do not represent the American Dream. In "The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan says: "You see I think everything's terrible anyhow," (Fitzgerald, 17). Despite how much money she has, which ideally is apart of the American Dream, Daisy is unhappy. Like everyone says, money can't buy you happiness. F. Scott Fitzgerald uses Daisy Buchanan as an example that the American Dream isn't all that it's made out to be.]]> 2019-01-29 15:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325436123 Jason Bailey https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325436132 In the grate Gatsby the reader is pulled in to the life of the rich and powerful. Scott Fitzgerald wants the reader to think the american dream is real and achievable. as shown in the great Gatsby "do you like europ I just got back from Monte Carlo." "Scott Fitzgerald 34" this showed that the people who live the american dream can travel and do lot of fun and exiting things that poor people can not do.

Scott Fitzgerald's portrayal of the American dream is not an accurate representation. Gatsby and the Buchanan's do not represent the American dream, in fact, they represent the opposite. "'Why' she said hesitantly. 'Tom's got some woman in New York.'" (Fitzgerald, 15) Tom and Daisy's characters show what life is like behind the scenes of the American dream. Tom cheats on Daisy constantly, leaving her helplessly to go be with another woman. They have lots of money but neither of them are happy with the other. F. Scott Fitzgerald uses these characters to show how the American dream is not real for most people. He shows how there will almost always be something that gets in the way of achieving the American dream. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325436200 Luis Gil https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325436335 F.

Scott Fitzgerald uses the Buchanan family to portray the state of the American dream. Fitzgerald uses Jay Gatsby and the Buchanans to show that the American dream no longer exists. "I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling and asked the nurse right away if it was a boy or a girl. She told me it was a girl and i turned my head away and wept"(Fitzgerald 17). Daisy Buchanan shows why the American dream is dead. She has everything that the American dream entails: money, a nice house, a family, and a nice car yet she still isn't happy with her life.

Scott Fitzgerald is showing in this text how likely the american dream actually isn't very possible. J.Gatsby and the Buchanan's do not achieve the american dream. Since the Buchanan's do not get along anymore. As well Tom does this because of what myrtle was doing "Making a short movement, Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand"[Fitzgerald pg.37]. Therefore the american dream is really hard to achieve as Gatsby and the Buchanan's represent. So it is not impossible but it is definitely difficult. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325436894 Jaelyn Hendricks https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325437380 F.

Scott Fitzgerald uses Gatsby and the Buchanan's to represent the American Dream. For example, both Gatsby and the Buchanan's are very well off and went to very good colleges. F. Scott Fitzgerald says, "His family was enormously wealthy." (Fitzgerald 6) F. Scott Fitzgerald gives a few signs that the wealth they carry is enormous. Having wealth makes them in reach of anything. These are some reasons they live the American Dream. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325437384 Michael Perkins https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325437390 F. Scott Fitzgerald is trying to show his readers what the american dream looks like through his characters. Although, Jay Gatsby and the Buchanan's do not represent what the American dream is. "Making a short deft movement, Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand"(Fitzgerald Pg. 37). "I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward-and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far way, that might have been the end of the dock."(Fitzgerald Pg. 21). The fact that Tom Buchanan hit Myrtle in the face shows that he is a angry, unhappy man. Gatsby seems to be lost without whatever or whoever the green light represents. Within the text F. Scott Fitzgerald shows that the American dream is hard to come by, whether the person is rich or poor. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325437390 Korbin Underwood https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325437949 2019-01-29 15:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325437949 Raul Avilez https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/325438686 F.

Scott Fitzgerald shows how Mr. Gatsby and the Buchanans are nothing like the american dream as Fitzgerald portrays.''...you might pick up a nice bit of money. It happens to be a rather confidential sort of thing" (Fitzgerald, pg 83). The american dream as Fitzgerald portrays is to be free, rich, and happy, but as Mr. Gatsby is getting rich, the pressure of the confidential way of making money can make a person overwhelmed and unhappy.

Scott Fitzgerald portrays the American Dream in Gatsby. Fitzgerald portrays this by having rich and wealthy characters in the story. These characters face many of their own problems. The text states "My family all died, and i came into a good deal of money".(Fitzgerald pg17) The American Dream is represented in Gatsby.

So when they try to portray this "American Dream" through them both it turns out bad since they both have a little different views on things. This is proven by how Nick states that Daisy almost wants to be back with Gatsby but she wants to leave the valley of ashes and pursue Tom and her's American Dream. But she also wants to be with Gatsby and have lots of money with him and chase the American Dream but it just doesn't work out like that . Fitzgerald makes all of this make sense and clearly paints a picture in my head of how this whole American Dream works out for Jay Gatsby and the Buchanan's, but all in all its one or the other and if they both want the American Dream they both need to chase it equally.

Scott Fitzgerald's book The Great Gatsby through the characters Jay gatsby and the Buchanans. However this is not the case, the Buchanans and Jay Gatsby potray the exact opposite of the American dream. An example of this would be Daisy and her deeply pesimistic monologue ""You see everything is terrible anyhow" she went on "Everybody thinks so - the most advanced people. And I know I've been everywhere and seen everything and done everything"" (Fitzgerald, 17) This cynical perspective Daisy has and shows through this statement is a perfect example of the opposite of the American dream.

Scott Fitzgerald uses Jay Gatsby and the Buchanan's to portray the idea of the American Dream. Jay Gatsby and the Buchanan's represent the American Dream through the way of living. "with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool... It was Gatsby's mansion" (Fitzgerald, pg. 5). Gatsby has the mansion representing Gatsby is living the American Dream through his mansion. ]]> 2019-01-31 17:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/326385772 Summer Marshall https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328259912 In the book "The Great Gatsby" the author has many tones. Overall the  tone F. Scott Fitzgerald uses is a cautionary tone.  In the book Joran tells Nick that "Tom's got some woman in New York" (Fitzgerald, 15). That is a situation that isn't directly said throughout the book but you always remember in certain times. Your mind always draws back to Daisy being cheated on. The sequence of events after is caused by the overall picture that Tom is not faithful. The author is warning the audience about loyalty and the drama it brings.]]> 2019-02-06 14:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328259912 Emily Nichols https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328260148 The tone in The Great Gatsby starts off very vague and analytical, however as the book goes on, the tone becomes more dark and pessimistic. The tone is largely shown through the way Nick narrates the story or how he is feeling, he is the eyes readers see the story through. For example Nicks critical observations through out the book saying things like " I was thirty. Before me stretched the portentous, menacing road of a new decade." (Fitzgerald,135) Showing just how dim the world is in Nicks mind. Nick slowly loses respect and faith in Gatsby, saying "Somehow that seemed a despicable occupation. For all I knew he was going to rob a house in a moment; I wouldn't be surprised to see sinister faces-" (Fitzgerald, 142) His perspective on Gatsby had grown darker, making the tone do the same. These fluctuations in Nicks emotions and voice largely impact the tone and as Nick grows more melancholy so does the story.  ]]> 2019-02-06 14:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328260148 Jayden Dack https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328260832 F. Scott Fitzgerald's tone in The Great Gatsby is sad and dark. As the book goes on, stories keep changing and things keep happening that make it even darker. The tone is shown by how Nick tells the story and explains his emotions about everything. "I disliked him so much by this time that i didn't find it necessary to tell him he was wrong." (Fitzgerald, 143) Nick explains how when Gatsby tells him about how Myrtle died, he disliked him so much because Gatsby did not care about what had happened. This shows how dark Gatsby himself is. None of the characters care about Myrtle, they only care about themselves because all of them have something to hide. ]]> 2019-02-06 14:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328260832 brayden marin https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328261020 F scott Fitzgerald tone was more like a mystery at the beginning, who was Gatsby? what did he want? who's the secret lover tom is having an affair with? but as the story goes on it reveals Gatsby("I'm Gatsby," fitzgerald #48) and the lover but still its kinda a mystery. is Gatsby telling the truth or not? the tone gets darker as you find out about his past and toms lover.

"I don't think it's so much that," argued Lucille sceptically; "it's more that he was a German spy during the war."(Fitzgerald 51) Gatsby keeps his identity a secret so his guest make up rumors about him. and after this he keeps his whole backstory a secret because he doesn't want people to think he is poor.

Scott Fitzgerald creates this dark but romantic theme. In the Great Gatsby when Gatsby say"When i looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and i was alone in the unique darkness again," (Pg.21, Fitzgerald). " Your wife doesnt love you," (Pg.130, Fitzgerald). When Gatsby says "your wife never loved you" it shows the dark romance going on in the book. When Nick see Gatsby for the first time, Gatsby vanishes and has a mysterious tone, thus tying together the dark and mysterious tone of the book.]]> 2019-02-06 14:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328261161 Gabriel Haubert https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328261465 F. Scott Fitzgerald's expression in The Great Gatsby is dejected. In chapter two It is said "This is the valley of ashes--a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges  and hills and grotesque gardens;..." (Fitzgerald, pg 23). In chapter seven it says, " ...they saw her left breast was swinging loose like a flap, and there was no need to listen to the heart beneath.'' (Fitzgerald, pg 137). " The mouth was wide open and ripped at the corners, as though she had choked a little in giving up the tremendous vitality she had stored so long". Without a doubt this shows how The Great Gatsby has a sad and depressing tone.  ]]> 2019-02-06 14:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328261465 brayden marin https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328261668 I believe Gatsby is a better match for Daisy. He would treat her like a queen making sure she was provided for,  made comfortable, and loved. She clearly still had feelings for him("At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete." fitzgerald #111) and liked the life he made for himself. He has a big sum of money and would be able to spoil her and give her everything she wants and needs. Tom would eventually find another lover to cheat on her with after Mrytl. He would continue to think he is superior ("just because i'm stronger and more of a man than you are" fitzgerald #7) and treat her like crap. ]]> 2019-02-06 14:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328261668 jason bailey https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328262849 F.

Scott Fitzgerald portrays The Greats Gatsby as a love story. Fitzgerald shows readers Gatsby will do anything for daisy and there is no stopping him. In the book The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald  shows readers how on man can love a woman so much and for so long. "I told you what was going on, going on five years" (Fitzgerald pg. 131) Gatsby believes he and daisy have been in love for 5 years without seeing each other. Daisy has not fallen in love with tom but she did love him at one time. so Tom and Gatsby are debating who daisy loves.Gatsby will do anything for daisy and there is no stopping him, he will not stop trying to get daisy to be his. ]]> 2019-02-06 14:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328262968 Luis Gil Llacer https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328263004 F. Scott Fitzgerald uses different tones through the different chapters. The first three chapters the tone stays cool and includes romantic facts. As the book proceeds and Gatsby meets Nick, Gatsby gets involved in the love triangle with Tom and Daisy and the tone becomes more emotional. "She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake,but in her heart she never loved any one except me!"(Gatsby, 130). F.

Scott Fitzgerald uses tone in the Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald uses a bitter tone through Nick's narrations and the rest of the groups dialogue. "So we drove on towards death through the cooling twilight"(Fitzgerald 136). Fitzgerald has Nick say this right after the big showdown between Gatsby and Tom and right before Daisy kills Myrtle Wilson. He shows that the world around them is bitter and bleak. "Your wife doesn't love you"(Fitzgerald 130). The fight between Tom and Gatsby shows that the bitterness between them is evident and that they despise each other.

Daisy should end up being with Tom in the end.  "They weren't happy, and neither of them had touched their chicken or the ale---and yet they weren't unhappy either. There was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy about the picture, and anybody would have said that they were conspiring together." (Fitzgerald, 145). Prior to Tom and Daisy sitting down at the dinner table getting along, Daisy ran over and instantly killed Tom's mistress. While Gatsby is outside Daisy's house worried if she is okay about everything that happened, Tom is in the house not wanting the police to blame him for the incident and Daisy is inside continuing with life ready for Gatsby to take the blame since it was his car. In that moment in time Daisy seems like she doesn't care about Gatsby who's in love with her but is content with the man who cheated on her.

Gatsby and Daisy fell in love way before she even knew Tom.Tom doesn't care about Daisy like Gatsby does. He cheats on Daisy with Myrtle and even though he isn't happy with Daisy he won't leave her. Gatsby sees Daisy as his one true love while Tom sees Daisy as property and doesn't care about her feelings. "His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own." (Fitzgerald, 110) Gatsby feels a real connection to Daisy while Tom couldn't care less. "'Why', she said hesitantly, 'Tom's got some woman in New York.'" (Fitzgerald,15) Tom is dating a woman in New York, while all Gatsby can ever think about is Daisy.

Scott Fitzgerald, i believe that Gatsby deserves daisy so much more than Tom. Gatsby has dreams of her, watches her, follows her around, etc. Gatsby is obsessed with daisy, he also watches a light from her dock and just thinks of her constantly. " I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward-- and distinguished nothing except a single green light," (Pg.21,Fitzgerald). Tom doesn't treat Daisy right, Tome cheats on her. He doesn't show her any appreciation for her. "Tom's got some woman in New York,"( Pg.15,.Fitzgerald). Gatsby achieved riches just to get her back, before he was only a poor man.

The main tone, darkness is portrayed throughout the whole story line. "When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone in the unquiet darkness."

Scot Fitzgerald portrays very many tones throughout this book. F. Scot Fitzgerald gives off a cautious tone and a surprised tone. " You must see the faces of many people you've heard about" (Fitzgerald pg.104) Gatsby shows daisy a lot of new things which is surprising to her, he can get anything for her. this is the cautious tone.

And Tom is the complete opposite of Gatsby, Tom is a awful person he never shows that he really loves and he also is abusive and racist. 
"It was a strange coincidence," I said."But it wasn't a coincidence at all."  "Why not?" "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay." (Fitzgerald 78)
This is why Gatsby should be with daisy and not Tom.

Both Daisy and Tom are extremely vapid and do not deal with their problems but instead ignore them and just act like everything is fine, where as Gatsby is very much about feelings and confrontation. This can be seen in chapter seven, where Gatsby confronts tom about the affair they've been having. Where as Tom and Daisy were just taking passive stabs at each other. " Your wife doesn't love you ' (Fitzgerald, 130) Gatsby dreams far to big while Daisy is rather cynical and realistic. " You see everything is terrible anyhow" (Fitzgerald,  17). In the end the one who deserves Daisy and will most likely have her is Tom, due to the amount of problems they had already swept under the rug, Gatsby is just another problem. ]]> 2019-02-06 14:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328280780 Gabriel Haubert https://padlet.com/kmarshall29/my3fw6dhga6v/wish/328283198 I believe, in The Great Gatsby, that Daisy and Gatsby should be together. I believe this because in chapter seven after the accident Mr. Gatsby sat in Daisy's front lawn in plan of protecting her against Tom. i also believe that both Gatsby and Daisy would be so much more happy together than with Tom.  Tom said in chapter one, " It's up to us, who are the dominant race, to watch out or these other races will have control of things."(Fitzgerald, pg 13). Tom being a racist is not what Daisy should be around, rather someone who would go to prison for her.

They were in love first 5 years ago before he went to war. Tom treats her terribly and even has an affair with Myrtle, with Daisy knowing. "You take Nick and Jordan. We'll follow you in the coupe."

Scott Fitzgerald shows Gatsby as a man in love who would do everything to get Daisy. In the other hand Tom is a married man who do not worry about his wife because he has got a mistress. Gatsby should end up with Daisy because is the only one that shows love for her. "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay."(Fitzgerald,41). "She was less than an hour old and Tom was God knows where. I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling, and asked the nurse right away if it was a boy or a girl"(Fitzgerald, 27).

"Gatsby bought that house so Daisy would be just across the bay"(Fitzgerald 78). Gatsby truly loves Daisy and has been dreaming of her for 5 years.

Scott has a lot in mind when writing Gatsby, Fitzgerald has a dark but also bright tone on the story, but it fluctuates. The Great Gatsby has many different tones to it, Fitzgerald really sticks out the feeling of tension and stress in Gatsby's life, this makes Gatsby have a dark and sad side to him that gradually comes out.  Fitzgerald uses this sad, eerie tone to express his feelings about Gatsby and maybe how he feels in real life.  This shows when Gatsby lies about his past and where he came from. " I suppose he'd had the name ready for a long time, even then. His parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people—his imagination had never really accepted them as his parents at all. The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God – a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that – and he must be about His Father's business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen-year-old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end. (Fitzgerald, 6-7). It feels as if Fitzgerald is referencing a person that he knows or maybe even himself. In conclusion, Fitzgerald has a tone that no other author can really pull off, a tone of sadness yet hopefulness, but through Gatsby, Tom, and Nick he shows a different side of him.
