Writing Prompt:

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning ——
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

What do you think this means? Put this into your own words.
Predict what you think this book will be about? What do you think Gatsby is searching for? How do you think this will end? Explain.
