Gatsby associates it with Daisy. He reaches toward it in the darkness as a guiding light to lead him to his goal. Because Gatsby's quest for Daisy is broadly associated with the American dream, the green light also symbolizes that more generalized ideal. Nick compares the green light to how America, rising out of the ocean, must have looked to early settlers of the new nation. Discussion Question- Understand the theme of hope in the novel ✔✔Fitzgerald uses this theme to illustrate Gatsby's hope that he will reunite with Daisy. He owns an expensive house and expensive possessions so that Daisy will notice him again. In fact, there is a complex attitude towards the nature of hope as shown through the narrator Nick. He believes hope is a human instinct, but it is something undoubtedly pointless in the long run. Discussion Question- You need to defend a position on the novel's portrayal of the elite upper class. Was the portrayal accurate or inaccurate? ✔✔Accurate positionIn the novel, the elite are racist, sexist, and rude toward other people. The elite are portrayed as people made of hatred. They hate everyone lower them. They can't understand that people aren't born with the same opportunities and luck as them. Inaccurate positionThe novel is inaccurate about how the rich and elite treat others. People of the elite class can be thankful for their upbringing. Some of them even help the poor. Discussion Question- Identify at least one lesson from the novel that can be learned. ✔✔1. Have a focus on what you wantGatsby wanted and longed for one thing his whole life. His main priority was not his mansion, money, parties, or fame. He just wanted Daisy. Daisy was his one thought and priority. Be like Gatsby and find something in life that makes you happy, and then never take your eye off it. Put all your energy and effort into it. Cherish it. And never take advantage of it. 2. Money doesn't buy you happinessFitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby is all about the money, but is that what really makes the people happy? Daisy married Tom for money and she was living in an abusive and cheating relationship. She was rich but was constantly restless. Is that happiness? Gatsby had the biggest house, huge parties, millions of clothes, and loads of money. Is this what made him happy? No, Daisy's love was Gatsby's happiness. Do not seek happiness through possessions and money because in the end none of it will matter. It is the people that we love and care about that mean the most. 3. We are all in search of the pursuit of happinessThe American Dream, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Everyone is entitled to chase after their dreams, find their passions, and pursue happiness. That is our goal, to use our life and liberty to achieve joy. That's all we really want, and that's all we really need. So I challenge you to journey through life in the pursuit of happiness. [Show More]
