The correct answer is onomatopoeia.

The word wail can have several meanings, but all of them have to do with sounds. If you wail, you produce a high-pitched cry, because you are sad or in pain.

Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech where a word can express the sounds coming from nature. So, when you wail, you produce a particular sound, which is why this is onomatopoeia.

(with the crash looming in 1929) there was a belief that anyone could 'strike it rich' like Gatsby did. George and myrtle Wilson were middle class people looking to improve their life, and achieve the american dream daisy is the ultimate, perfect example of the american dream. the darkest secret at the end, Gatsby's wealth didn't come from work, it came from a life of crime. Fitzgerald is basically saying american dream is actually a lost promise.  also underlying greed strewn throughout the novel, and affairs which tear couples apart. 

quote: 

'But I didn't call to him for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone--he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and far as I was from him I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward--and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock.' 

very key symbol of the green light, and Gatsby reaching out to something (the american dream) that he cannot acquire.
