The occurence of how things ended in the story kind of opened my eyes to a few things in the real world that we live in and it made me out the pieces together for what things still actually happen today.
The green light at the end of Daisy's dock represent and symbolizes Gatsby's dream that he is chasing throughout the book. It shows that he and Daisy are connected and can both see the green light, but what Gatsby doesn't realize is that the light is already in the past and whatever he does now just takes him farther away from his dream that he has, the "American Dream." When Gatsby is killed and lays at his empty house it shows how he came up empty handed and never met his goal to be with Daisy.
Another aspect that came to me was how the classes of people back then are so much similar to how they are now. The people with all the money constantly thought they were better than everyone else back then and treated people wrongly. Back in tis time period people did things to lead people on as did Daisy with how she made Gatsby believe that he could achieve his dream, but really it was already lost. People were careless in these times and didn't take responsibility for their actions. This book really teaches you a lesson and how society is the same then as it is now.
