The first case in Chapter 3 was that Gatesby customer Owl Eyes crashed the vehicle in the groove and lost the wheel in the process. Nick Callaway asked him about this matter, he replied,
But he is not a driver driving a car. The driver was clearly drunk and I did not know what was going on. He believes that they are no longer oily and can not even understand the extent of the damage They believe that the car can be reversed and filled with gas stations. For all proposals, he insisted on trying yet. His doubt is the result of a drunk and a coma
The second case involves Nick accompanying Jordan Baker. He said she was a "rotating driver", she was very close to the man working on the road, because the car fender played the "coat button on the man".
Jordan argued that he was never a bad driver and claimed that she was very careful when he suggested that Nick should pay more attention or not drive at all. Nick argues that she is not, she refutes that everyone else is
Cars are symbols of wealth and privilege. Because only people with financial resources can buy it. These two cases clearly explain this point, because the people who took part in the Gatsby meeting are said to be the upper classes of society. Jordan Baker is undoubtedly attractive as she is a famous golfer and keeps in touch with wealthy people.
In fact, both the first driver and Jordan showed such a remote path, which symbolized their negligence and indifference. They are not only ready to show their luck but they are not promising to take responsibility. Their cars are mere things, they are not careful of them. What happens in both cases is the reflection of this attitude. As Jordan declared that way, obviously their approach is that other people are responsible there

For the rich of "great Gatsby", the car is not as important as the means of transport, as the importance of the goods. A car, like a house, a luxury party, or something else Gatsby or Buchanan may spend, is just another way to show the wealth they have. For example, Gatsby has his own driver, but he still has a station wagon and expensive Rolls-Roy he uses.

Today, cars play an increasingly important role in American culture. Its popularity is that we can satisfy our desire for individualism, freedom, and power. The car reflects deep cultural and emotional values and is an important part of our American culture.

Imagine living without a car in order to draw a better picture. Everyday life becomes boring. The movement of individuals is very limited. Basically, I can not understand the life without a car. The importance of cars is often used for granite. - Salesman 's death car In modern society, most Americans possess cars.
