Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby"

Brian Sutton argues in his article that light plays a big role in The Great Gatsby. It is both a symbol and a driving force behind Gatsby's dream. Summarize the article in a paragraph and then comment on the plausibility of his argument. Are you convinced? Why or why not?

Your comment is due by 8 p.m. on Tuesday evening.

Happy reading and writing!
