How The Color Green Has A Calming Effect

    One possible meaning of the color green is envy.  Gatsby can be seen as an envious, jealous character.  He once had the love of his life, Daisy, but now she is married to another man.  He spends all of his time and effort into getting back with Daisy.  He is also envious of many

The color green often shows up in The Great Gatsby, mostly as the color of Daisy Buchanan’s dock light. From the location of Jay Gatsby’s house, this light is visible. Readers probably know

Green often is used to represent a fresh start someone experiences after a large change, and the change could be due to a single individual. One day, Jordan tells Nick a memory of her walking along a green lawn when

Green is a very prominent color in the story. Green represents Cassia's character for many reasons. The color symbolizes her uniqueness and non-conforming nature. Cassia chooses a green dress for her matching

Green is the last large color imagery in The Great Gatsby. The color green is a tremendous thing for Gatsby. He almost worships the green light at the

Fitzgerald uses green to show hope. On page 21 Fitzgerald wrote down “I glanced seaward-and distinguished nothing except a single green light.” In The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald uses green to show the reader that Gatsby has hope he will see and be with Daisy again. In the book we read that Nick sees Gatsby reaching for a green light we then later find out the light was on a dock at Daisy's house. Green is known around the world to show wealth money and hope. Fitzgerald added this color to show the reader Gatsby was a man of many hopes and

Green is the color of growth, harmony, and the desire to expand which as a result may represent hope. In the Great Gatsby, Gatsby did everything in his power to try to gain wealth and “some commenters have traced Fitzgerald’s lifelong anxiety about financial failure to his father’s inability to support the family” (Howes, Carnagie 128). Even Daisy’s voice “was full of money- that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it.” (Fitzgerald 120). This is explaining Daisy’s nature that she was always care free and provided for (Fitzgerald 120).

In The Great Gatsby, the color Green is often used to portray Gatsby's character and feelings. It is used to show his desire and want to win back Daisy which was his only love. He already has everything else he needs in life, money, wealth and power, the only thing left is Daisy. Therefore the color green shows his never ending love and passion for Daisy, and is associated with the green light at the end of her dock. Gatsby watches this light every night, as we can interpret from the narrator, “You always have a green light that

This use of green is not limited to backgrounds or outfits either. From pages 48-50, Lois Lane is preparing to use a kryptonite gun on Superman. The item itself is primarily green and fires green mist, which also makes sense because kryptonite is green. On page 106, we see Luther fiddling with a device that is a mobile library. When this device speaks, even its speech bubbles are done out in this green shade. This scientific symbolism makes sense here too, as these are very scientific machines.

The color green plays a very important role in the novel; being one of the most used colors. I believe green symbolizes hope, and jealousy. Green is used as a symbol of hope in chapter 5, when Gatsby is showing Daisy his house. Gatsby looks across the bay from his window and says

The color green has many possible interpretations in the The Great Gatsby. I think the color green symbolizes jealousy,

Studies have suggested that people with this eye color are peaceful, smart, kind and full of youth and life

Van Gogh’s color choice is largely responsible for the mood his painting creates. Upon first glance, the viewer can quickly notice that the artwork consists primarily of yellow and various shades of blue. There are some green lines around the bottom of the picture where the couple stands, and a hint of red can be seen on the women’s dress, but the blue from the water and sky and the yellow from the stars, gas lights on the shoreline, and the reflection of light on the water is much more prominent. Using a cool color such as blue for the base of the painting and adding in yellow to complement and accent it gives the viewer feelings of serenity, because blue is a color often associated with peace and relaxation. The effect of color can also be seen by imagining how different the painting would have looked with a different color scheme. For example, if Van Gogh had predominantly used a vibrant red instead of shades of blue, the artwork would have

Frivolity and immaturity are often negative associations to orange.(Wright) Yellow is the most emotional color. It can be an emotionally strong color or emotionally fragile color. Meaning it symbolizes optimism and can also symbolize depression.(Johnson)

Growing up without a father can be the hardest things a child has to go through. But growing up with a father that never truly loved nor cared about you, rips your heart open. It makes you not want to trust anyone, and I can for sure tell you that the only reason I am the way that I am is because of a man that I thought was my father. It turns out you can make someone a father just because they had kid. I’ll tell you what I remember about my dad; it might not be a lot of memories, but it sure does have a lot of meaning. One thing that I do remember very clearly is day his girlfriend was driving his van and she came around our neighborhood. I was outside playing with my mom when she was driving by. As soon as I looked up the van was driving down slowly. It’s like she wanted me to see the van. I got so excited I thought my daddy was finally coming to see me, so I started running towards the van then she drove off and I started running after crying. I couldn’t even go outside anymore, she was having way too much fun seeing me crying. You’d think that if your dad loved you he would stop drinking, doing drugs, put his family first and his band second. It never went that way and I think I’d trust him if he didn’t lie or break any promises. But I can tell you that there is no way in hell that I would ever let him back in my life. Why is that whenever I want to be happy things happen? How was my mother supposed to know that her two year old
