The green light resembles the closeness and that little part that
Gatsby had to being close to Daisy. Gatsby lived in West Egg in a
giant mansion and Daisy lived just across the bay; and during the
night across the bay Gatsby could see that light across the bay
from the dock. That green light meant alot to him, because it was a
way that he knew how close Daisy was to him and he watched that green light almost
everynight. Gatsby moved to West Egg because he was in love with Daisy and because he was
still in love with Daisy after all those years of waiting to see her after he got back from the war.
He moved closer because he was now rich and before she wouldn't marry him because he was
poor. He moved so that he could let her know that he was aliveand so that maybe she would one
night go to one of his fancy paties and that hopefully he would run into her again but that didn't
happen, but he ended up meeting somebody who knew her then he got to meet her again and
they had to be with each other again. Gatsby impressed her with all of his expansive nice things
and his big house and he tried to win her over and get her to leave Tom. That light resembled
their closeness and like in a way hwo that light was always on, it remembled kind of like how
their love was still going on and that they still wanted to be with each other.
