A Windstorm in the Forest begins by depicting the wind as a maternal figure. As if tending to children, “the winds go to every tree, fingering every leaf and branch and furrowed bole … [seeking] and [finding] them all, caressing them tenderly, bending them in lusty exercise, stimulating their growth, plucking off a leaf or limb as required” (55). The trees resemble infants who are reliant on their mothers to make them strong, living symbiotically with the wind; the trees eventually reap cool shade, clean oxygen and protection for the soil below in return for the winds’ breezes.
This quote focuses on the idea that sometimes, no matter how hard people try, <em>they cannot achieve their goals or deepest desires.</em> They reach out further and further for one thing or someone and <em>never </em>get to it. Some never lose hope and "stretch out their arms farther", but that doesn't mean they'll get there. They have more optimism. These final words are just about Gatsby's struggle to achieve the American dream and his dream girl and the unfortunate events that follow his endeavors.
