The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
“His
heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own”
(Fitzgerald, 110). Gatsby is now reveling since he and Daisy appear to be
getting back together. He embraces her when they kiss and is always excited to
see her. Gatsby is preparing to repeat the past and set things straight. He
plans to marry Daisy as soon as he gets the chance. One of the important
symbols that led to this part of Gatsby’s life is the green light. The green
light at the end of Daisy’s dock represents a fleeting hope. It is a hope that
is slowly disappearing and with every passing day, the chance may be lost. It
has kept Gatsby hopeful that Daisy could be his again. He also realized that he
would also need to find her love again because he could easily lose the chance to
be with her forever. That green light inspires us to do what we can today
because tomorrow could be one day too late.
I also feel that the song One Day Too Late by Skillet would be perfect here.
