Symbol: The Green Light at the End of Daisy’s Dock
Represents: It represented Gatsby’s hopes and dreams for the future, and that he would be with Daisy again. It symbolized the American Dream; it was green, the color of money. It also made him feel closer to Daisy when he looked across the shore at the green light.
Quotes:
“Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes the future before us.” (IX pg.180)
“...Gatsby…when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream less had seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it.” (IX pg.180)

This really clarifies the meaning of the green light for me. Before it had just been a simple light but now I understand the significance of the symbol.
This was an outstanding background information to support your blog.
