Green Light, Yellow Cars, and Church Steeples

In the Great Gatsby, the green light, yellow car, and church steeple are very significant things to think about while reading. We are introduce to the green light when we see Gatsby reaching out for it at the end of chapter one. This light represents Gatsby reaching out for Daisy but not quite reaching her because things are not the same as before they both moved to New York. The dream Gatsby has of ever getting back to Daisy is buried in the past. The yellow car that Gatsby owns resembles a clown car and Gatsby has now become the joke thinking that he could get back with Daisy. The church steeple is mentioned because at this point in the book, Nick is questioning whether he should say anything about the affairs or reserve judgment like he always has.
