Gatsby’s Car
Gatsby’s car is a symbol of the American dream because he is living his life in luxury.
The car symbols the ending of Gatsby because in the end you no longer see the car as “beauty”, but as a “weapon” that was accidentally used to kill Myrtle. In the Wilson Myrtles husband uses his weapon to kill Gatsby.
Gatsby's yellow car is ultimately the murder weapon used to kill Myrtle. This yellow represents money and crass materialism that corrupts and destroys Gatsby's dream.
“He was balancing himself on the dash board of his car…that is so peculiarly American.”
Here the coincide the car along with America the car is a dream only for those who are rich enough to grasp it. While to the eye Gatsby has grasped that dream, but in actuality Gatsby is still not reached his point of the American dream.
“I’d seen it everyone had seen it”
Here Nick expresses that everyone’s seen the car, and in the end when Myrtle dies Gatsby thinks no one saw them except when they find out what kind of car it was from the black guy its almost positive that someone will identify that car as Gatsby’s
“It was a yellow car”
“…and left the car in my garage.”
Gatsby thinks he’s going to be able to hide away like Tom and Daisy simply, but just hiding the evidence, but by hiding the car to me it’s like hiding the American dream so it hints to the fact that Gatsby American dream where he was so close to achieving will soon come to an end.

your blog seems like it has good information but it is a bit repetative and there are small grammatical errors. next time you should proof read a couple of times to perfect it before you post. Good Job!

I like the way you express the meaning of the car, how you explained that it was at frist bueaty then the souce of corruption, it is like money which you said because people do see it as bueaty because it gets them places and items but its really just corruption in disguise.

Why does this blog repeat twice? Anyways... I think that they shouldn't have done that to Gatsby because it was just an accident. As far as the Car, I agree that it represented luxury. I don't know what else to say...

you made me read it twice dosh garnett too betsy! but other than that, I also think that the car symbolizes luxury and death, so we are on the right page with each other

It was confussing at first cause you said the car represents the American Dream and it is a murder weapon. But, you explained it later on and now it is clear.

The 1920s are depicted as a corrupted and reoccuring proof of the American dream was filled with greed, cynicism and empty pursuit of pleasure. The reckless spending became a social norm that provided elevated social status. The moral goals that used to be of importance were surpassed by the irresistable desire to SPEND SPEND SPEND. The nation was born anew after the Great Depression. Spending became a celebration.

I agree that the car represents the American Dream, because it is luxurious and symbolizes wealth. I agree that the car’s meaning does change, when Gatsby accidentally hits Myrtle.

Full of detail and quotes, but a bit too long-winded and repetitive. Other than that, great work, and the information helped me come to a similar conclusion.
