I did find todays class discussion to be quite fascinating, because I had not looked at the book from that point of view. Gatsby=Gun (Gatsby gets shot), none of the love is real (symbolizing how they only focused on their material possesions and therefore could not know true/real love).
I think that todays disscusion brought out a much deeper meaning of the book. Now that we know this we can percieve the book differently all that was in doubt has now hopefully for most been cleared up.
The main Themes of the book, The Green Light, Love, Class, God/religion, they all tie together now in a much deeper way than before. Overall I think this was a very good book, with many controversial issuse and morals, which in the end made for a very interesting story.
