"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter – to-morrow we will run farther, stretch out our arms farther"]]> 2018-02-27 19:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyennetjordan/yir5wghj10pj/wish/236097514 The Eyes of T.J. Eckleburg cheyennetjordan https://padlet.com/cheyennetjordan/yir5wghj10pj/wish/236100187 The Eyes of T.J. Eckleburg represent God and how he can see over everything.

"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"

"This is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air."]]> 2018-02-27 19:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyennetjordan/yir5wghj10pj/wish/236105867 Rain cheyennetjordan https://padlet.com/cheyennetjordan/yir5wghj10pj/wish/236110598 In chapter five the rain represents Gatsby's nervousness, but once he realizes Daisy is nervous too he becomes less nervous.
