“Paid a high price for living too long with a single dream” poor Gatsby felled like he wanted his life and although he became rich he never got what he truly wanted #TGGWaste#ch8
“Wilson’s glazed eyes turned out to ashheaps, where small gray clouds took on the fantastic shapes” they could symbolize myrtles tragic death and her not living the life she wanted #TGGSymbol#ch8
“Daisy gleaming like silver, sage, and proud above the hot struggles of the poor” Gatsby cares a lot about Daisy’s money. Daisy is “silver” like a prize or trophy #ch8#TGGCash
Nick knows that Gatsby is wasting his life and is trapped but he never says anything to Gatsby he just stands by and watches it all happen #ch8#TGGfake
