Fitzgerald is pointing out the problems with having idealistic hopes and dreams. By giving Gatsby an endless capacity for hope and then killing the character at the end, Fitzgerald makes a strong statement about what too much hoping and dreaming can do to a person, it can ruin them. Gatsby's dreams are represented by the green light at the end of Daisy's dock, he can see them but they are not close enough to realize. When he gets his chance, so many things then get in the way. Fitzgerald uses the ending of the book to summarize how he feels about hopes and dreams. Nick says "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." He gives the reader the image of the current coming in and moving back out into the sound, the repeating ins and outs of the tides, and says that we are just boats trying to move forward against it. He uses the image of the water, tying into the green light of Gatsby's dreams, to show that we can never truly move forward to achieve them.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
