Green Lights, Yellow Cars, and Church Steeples

               The Great Gatsby is a novel about the pursuit of the American Dream. Green Lights pertaining to a goal that is to be reached by a person. In the novel we can see that the green light across the lake and on Daisy's dock represents something for Gatsby. For Gatsby, that green light is much more important to him than any other. Gatsby does whatever it takes to reach his goal and finally reach and grab the green light. Owning yellow cars and a house with towers that may seem to be church steeples; to represent his wealth and hopefully attract Daisy. Owning these various objects in order to better his social class and win the heart of his long love. All of these just for the American Dream.
