The Great Gatsby by Brittney Head https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4 en-us 2018-04-23 20:03:41 UTC 2025-10-24 10:12:23 UTC hello@padlet.com Introduction brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255079432 Music is significant to the novel as the Jazz Age was such a carefree period of time. The lyrics of the songs really get that point across. Affairs, greed, and fun were all so common. Tons of people related to the song messages. ]]> 2018-04-25 02:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255079432 "The Love Nest" by John Steel-Jazz brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255080844 "Shall we build for pride,
Or shall brick and mortar hold
Warmth and love inside?
The answer you may know:
Jack solved it long ago"

He cared more for the things money couldn't buy. He left his band, Animals so he wouldn't miss out on his childs' life. Gatsby believes money can buy happiness. He has a huge place but it is only a house. One wouldn't call it a home because there is no love within it. Gatsby wants more than anything for someone (Daisy!) to call his heart home. The mood is hopeful as readers hope Daisy makes the right decision. Gatsby is doing everything possible to impress her and sweep her off her feet. ]]> 2018-04-25 02:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255080908 Significance brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255080985 "The Love Nest" was played on the piano by Klipspringer when Daisy went to Gatsby's house for the first time. The lyrics describe Daisy's indecision in leaving Tom. Gatsby is willing to share all he has with Daisy for nothing more than her love.

In the evening,
Ain't we got fun----
One's thing sure and nothing's surer
The rich get richer and the poor get--children---"

Into your tent I'll creep---"

]]> 2018-04-25 03:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255082479 History brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255082553 "Sheik of Araby" is about a 1919 romance novel by Edith Maude Hull regarding an English girl who is kidnapped and seduced by an Arab sheik. The girl ends up falling in love and marrying the Arab who is actually a British aristocrat. The song has a romantic feel although the circumstances of the relationship being described are wrong.  The mood of chapter 4 is sympathetic as readers admire Gatsby's dedication to Daisy. However,  Daisy is married so that makes their circumstances wrong, too. ]]> 2018-04-25 03:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255082553 History brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255082580 "Ain't We Got Fun?" regards the economic and social changes of the United States in the Jazz Age.  Everyone wanted nothing more than to have a good time. However, there was a lot of comparing of status. The mood of the chapter is playful as Gatsby flaunts his success. The readers witness Daisy slowly give into him.

Jordan is coincidentally telling Nick Gatsby and Daisy's backstory at the time. The use of song is ironic because Gatsby wishes to seduce Daisy with his wealth. He has also created a new identity for himself in order to woo her. ]]> 2018-04-25 03:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255082605 Significance brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255082641 Klipspringer plays "Ain't We Got Fun?" for Daisy after playing the Love Nest. It is very mocking given the fact that Daisy rejected Gatsby because he was poor. The lyrics rub in Daisy's face that Gatsby has become more successful than her and Tom. ]]> 2018-04-25 03:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255082641 brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255875028 2018-04-27 01:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255875028 "Borrowed" by LeAnn Rimes-Country brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255877395 "I wanna hold out, but gotta hold on
Even though I know its wrong
Cause I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don''t want to give you back
But you're borrowed"
This song correlates to "Sheik of Araby" as there is a complicated relationship between Gatsby and Daisy. Gatsby has "stolen" Daisy from Tom like the Sheik of Araby kidnapped the English woman. Daisy's heart will never belong to Gatsby and the English woman's heart will never belong to the Sheik because the men aren't who they claim to be. This song would add to the sympathetic mood as Gatsby is pretty much trying without any benefit. ]]> 2018-04-27 02:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255877395 "What Is Home Without Love" by Old Sledge-Country brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255884331 "Sad and alone in a mansion 
No loving wife to caress
Said a man sad and lonely
No loving wife's lips to kiss"
This song has just the opposite of the message of "The Love Nest". In "The Love Nest" the narrator doesn't have much but he has plenty of love. In "What Is Home Without Love", the narrator has many things but is missing love. Gatsby wants Daisy to play the role of his loving wife. He has this big house FOR her but she doesn't love him so he remains sad and alone in a mansion. This song would add to the hopeful mood because if Daisy were to hear it, maybe she'd wake up and see the impact she could make on Gatsby. ]]> 2018-04-27 03:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255884331 "Waking Up In Vegas" by Katy Perry-Pop brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255885910 "Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas"
This song correlates to "Ain't We Got Fun?" as there is a careless vibe. Vegas and Gatsby's have party reputations. People go to both places to have a good time, make memories (and mistakes), and forget about their money.  This song would add to the playful mood as the narrator of the song doesn't have a care in the world. This song would persuade Daisy into seeing that with Gatsby, she would be having the time of her life.]]> 2018-04-27 03:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255885910 brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255888778 2018-04-27 03:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255888778 brittney_118643 https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255889032 2018-04-27 03:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/brittney_118643/e4x53e5cysb4/wish/255889032
