Enchanted Objects

For around the past 5 years, Gatsby has been on a search for a way to get back in touch with Daisy. Ever since he found out where she lived and found something to notice her house, the green light, it has been one of his greatest possessions because it was the closest thing he had to his greatly missed Daisy. This flashing light was something he could always look at and picture Daisy and know that on the other side of the water, she was sitting there at her house, closer to him than she has been in a long time. Once Daisy went to Nick's cottage for tea, and the doors opened for the two of them to have a talking relationship again, his need for this flashing light started getting smaller. As the day went on, and he started to realize they might be able to talk once and a while,like old times sake, he didn't need the light. It wasn't an enchanted object to him anymore that linked him to his past and connected him some how to this young lady he so greatly missed.
