White= the upper class
Blue= Hope
Yellow/Gold= Money
Green= Mystery
It is easy to just forget about the colors while reading the book. You can read the book and have a pretty good understanding of it without noticing the colors. But When you take the plunge and find the deeper meaning to all the colors you find out more stuff about the book. You will understand more or just get more of a meaning of certain stuff in the book.
Wilson's blue eyes, "gleam of hope springs into them"
Myrtle changes in to cream colored chiffon dress for her party
Gatsby's gardens are blue
Twins where yellow dresses to the party
Brendan,
ReplyDeleteExplaining how the use of colors supports the larger meaning of the novel (the death of the American Dream?) seems a good approach to the novel. Check out some of my comments on related posts above for more specific recommendations. Again, this seems like a good approach, and I look forward to seeing your draft!
