Yellow cars, church steeples, and green lights

These three things are very symbolic in the great gatsby. Jay Gatsby drives a yellow car in the book, and it is seen as a big flashy statement. Tom refers to it as a circus wagon, and he believes it is just an attempt by Gatsby to show how much money he has. the green light is the light at the end of Daisys dock, that Gatsby looks at. The green light can represent the American dream to some, although that is a very general statement. At the beggining of the book, Nick sees the green light ahead of him, and in his individual case this might represent financial succes to Nick, seeing as he is a struggling binds salesman. I beleive Fitzgerald uses the color green to represent money for Nick. Finally, the church steeple. This refers to Immanuel Kant, who developed his theories on morality while looking at a church steeple. Fitzgerald relates this to Nick, because he resembles Immanuel in that he is pensive and thoughtful, and also carefully considers those around him and their thoughts/opinions.
