Something that struck me in these chapters was the green light that Gatsby sat and stared at at the end of Daisy's dock. To me the light was a meaning of new hope for him and a chance in his life to get back with Daisy. Another meaning that i took it as was that he saw it as a new hope for America and another chance for the World to become something better since they were in the era where the stockmarkets were crashing and there were thieves everywhere. We found out later that Gatsby does get to hangout with Daisy and get reunited with her and catch up with her. So to me his dream came true so far.
Another part that I really was caught by was all of the parties that Gatsby holds and the fact that he doesn't even join in with eveeryone whereas he just sits off to the side and observes. I take this as he wants to be the person who is seen with everyone who is famous and be the richest man in town. Also I take it as he wants others to get together so they can connect with each other and make new friends. Gatsby is a very unselfish man and cares for others pleasure and not just his own.
