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.  ]]> 2019-04-29 17:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/355117755 gray: Taylor tjones121 https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/355117771 "It was a few days before the Fourth of July, and a gray, scrawny Italian child was setting torpedoes in a row along the railroad track." p.26
   describes as gray because the atmosphere is dull creating the child to look gray and glum.
    "Her gray, sun-stained eyes shared ahead, but she had deliberately shifted our relations, and for a moment i thought i loved her." p. 58 
     He is saying that she had a gloomy expression on her face and wanted to change the shift of the conversation. 
" But I can still read the gray names, and they will give you a better impression than my generalities of those who accepted Gatsby's hospitality and paid him the subtle tribute of knowing nothing whatever about him." (p.61) ( i have no idea what this one means) 
    "At the gray tea hour there were always rooms that throbbed incessantly with this low, sweet fever, while fresh faces drifted here and there like rose petals blown by the sad horns around the floor." (p.151) 
    Nick was saying that at the time of day where Daisy would have her tea or relaxing time, it was somewhat gloomy and sad for her because when Gatsby went to the war, she was completely heartbroken. 
   "His eyes leaked continuously with excitement, and when I took the bag and umbrella from his hands he began to pull so incessantly at his sparse gray beard that I had difficulty in getting off his coat."
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.

(Fitzergald 17) 
(Alessia)
The lamp light that reflected off the paper is the same yellow-tone as Daisy's hair. It's understandable that since a daisy is yellow, the author is trying to relate the colour yellow to Daisy herself.

investment securities and they stood on my shelf in red and
gold like new money from the mint" (Page 6)
- 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.

" beside her stood a tall, red haired young lady from a famous chorus, engaged in song " (Page 56).

The yellow used to describe the girls dresses is a symbol of wealth - every time the girls were referenced they were described with their yellow dresses.

the music is described as "yellow" to give the readers a sense that the music was sophisticated, or "rich".

(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. ]]> 2019-05-01 14:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/355807216 White (Olivia) ociampaglia1 https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/355809422 "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.

In this sense, the yellow is supposed to symbolize destructive power and death, because the yellow light is at the scene of Myrtle Wilson's death, which was a car accident involving a YELLOW car. ]]> 2019-05-14 17:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/360030376 Blue acrognale https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/360030458 "It's a blue car, a coupe" (pg. 140)]]> 2019-05-14 17:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/360030458 G https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/360031198 2019-05-14 17:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/360031198 Green https://padlet.com/smacpherson1/tflwsasgre9g/wish/360031208  With an effort Wilson left the shade and support of the doorway and, breathing hard, unscrewed the cap of the tank.

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.

Black represents darkness which in this case can represent the occurring problems in their relationship and white represents pure and happiness and can represent that despite their problems, they have some good times and memories.
