8: I found it interesting that Gatsby has made Daisy a symbol of everything he values, and made the green light on her dock a symbol of his destiny with her. Thinking about Gatsby’s death, Nick suggests that all symbols are created by the mind—they do not possess any inherent meaning; rather, people invest them with meaning.
9: I found myself changing my view on Gatsby in this chapter. A mans death and funeral attended by very few is a sad story. Tom even claimed that he deserved to die. No one deserves to die of a gunshot. Before this chapter I thought that Nick was a boring and non-appealing narrator but after this chapter and hearing how he dislikes Tom I started to like him.
