The significance of “the breast” in The Great Gatsby it symbolized a new beginning. It compares Gatsby’s dream of Daisy to the explorer’s discovery of America, and the promise of a new continent. It is a chance for Gatsby to win Daisy back with more money, but ultimately money was what caused Gatsby’s downfall.

“I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes—a fresh, green breast of the new world.”

I think they did a good job analyzing the meaning of the "breast," but maybe could of explained a little more on the true meaning. But I think its nice and right to the point. :)

Yeah, that interesting how money led to his downfall, but I don't exactly see a clear connection to "breast" as a symbol. I don't know, maybe I am just to stupid...

I think you both did a great job on analyzing the word "Breast". You should try to work on the connection of "breast" and money. But GOOOD JOB!!
You both did a good job! I really don’t now how the connection is made but you tried. But you still did overall GOOD JOB!!

Gatsby dream of Daisy was like the "breast" all comfort and nourished.
But the moment he stepped on the valley of ashes his hoped and dreams were turned to ashes as well.
