WHAT I SEE IN LITERATURE

The Great Gatsby:
1. The Green Light
- Gatsby trying to achieve his dream, which is getting Daisy back
- The American Dream

2. East Egg and West Egg
- The Rich and The Poor

3. Theme in Both Gatsby and Prufrock is TIME

The Great Gatsby: last line" So we beat on boats against the current borne back ceaselessly in the past"
- As the boat moves forward, trying to move to the future, the current is pulling the boat back, always reminding one from their past.
- one cant move forward when the past is pulling them back

The Love Song:  in the poem there s a showing of going to the past and the future but never going to the present. 


4. Lines 47-48 "In a minute there is time 
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. "
