Green Light, Yellow Car, Church Steeple

Nick, the narrator of the story, The Great Gatsby, references about the Green Light, the Yellow Car, and the Church Steeple. Small little details with significant meaning in the story. While Nick was at Gatsby's party, "There was nothing to look at from under the tree except Gatsby’s enormous house so [he] stared at it, like Kant at his church steeple, for half an hour" (Fitzgerald ). Kant was a German philosopher who sought for his reality staring at a church steeple. Nick was entranced, contemplating about his reality and what would become if Daisy and Gatsby do run off. Even though this was a passage easily passed over, I found it to have a deeper significance to the story.
