In the book, one of the main themes is closure. Everybody needs to have closure with the one person you have loved for so long. This is the same for Gatsby. After the argument with Tom and daisy, Gatsby finally realized that his dream would not happen and he finally has closure with her, "he must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what grotesque thing a rose and is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass". To me, everybody needs to have closure and even for me, I have had my great deal of closure. This whole closure thing reminds me of when my best friend died. After the funeral I realized that what I had told him several days before meant a lot and it finally came to me that he knew something was going to happen, and I feel like I finally had closure with him because I told him what I needed to say. when Gatsby was in the pool he knew that reality had set in; "a new world, without material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about...like that ashen, fantastic figure gliding toward him through the amorphous trees". This quote shows that reality has finally set in for him and it is hitting him like a brick in the face.
