[Minute of Mindfulness/suggestion: What do you imagine will give you the freedom to really go for what you want in life?]

Chapter
1 of The Great Gatsby ends with Nick
(our narrator) seeing Gatsby reach out toward a green light (the end of a
dock?) across the water. Take a guess: given what you know about

Use the epigraph and anything else we've read/discussed so far to
support your idea.
