- metaphor: green light- the green light represents Gatsby's dream and it represents the society desire and the impossibility of achieving the "american dream".
- smile:"a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges..."- this is setting the mood it talks about the valley of ashes between west egg and New York. it creates a grim mood reflecting on the downside of the industrial boom of the 1920's
- personification:"the late afternoon sky bloomed in the window for a moment"- the sky can't actually bloom like a flower it shows us the time which is the setting
- irony:"neither of them can stand the person they're married to"- myrtle and tom are two married people but has a affair together but they don't love the person they are married to. they are both unhappy people but can't be together because of the situation that they are married.
- bias:"your wife doesn't love you," said Gatsby quietly, she never loved you.."- Gatsby is convincing Daisy and influencing her words to Tom
