Inside of foldable Front Back Notes: a ​claim​ is something you propose to be true, based on evidence -Nick is a good person. (This is debatable, but I could support this claim with evidence.) a ​symbol​ is something that represents something greater than its literal meaning -a wedding ring is more than just a round piece of metal. It represents love and commitment. You may not use this, but an example of a symbol from ​The Great Gatsby ​would be Daisy’s name. A Daisy is a delicate, beautiful white flower with a yellow center. White often symbolizes purity and innocence, which is how Gatsby views Daisy in the novel. The yellow inside is symbolic of the golden memory of Daisy, from 5 years ago, that Gatsby holds on to. That golden memory is the center of everything for Gatsby.
