Fitzgerald mentions this song in the book when everyone is at a party at Gatsby’s house and Gatsby asks Cliff Springer to play the song “Ain’t We Got Fun.” “Not much money, Oh, but honey ain't we got fun?]]> 2018-04-28 08:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256205339 alanis_195136 https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256205352 I chose the song “Ain’t It Fun” by Paramore to represent the song “Ain’t We Got Fun” not only for the obvious reason that the two songs have very similar names but also because both songs represent still living a fun life and doing amazing things even though you still have every day duties and responsibilities to take care of. ]]> 2018-04-28 08:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256205352 alanis_195136 https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256248548 This song is played at a party in chapter 6, Fitzgerald uses this song to portray Daisy’s feelings throughout the novel. Daisy feels confused between who she loves, between her husband and Jay Gatsby. Fitzgerald uses this song to better express Daisy’s feelings towards Gatsby, the one she has feelings for. “It's three o'clock in the morning we've danced the whole night through.”]]> 2018-04-28 19:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256248548 alanis_195136 https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256248576 Fitzgerald incorporates the song “The Sheik of Araby” I
in chapter 4 of the story, Jordan Baker is explaining Gatsby’s life while walking in the park, they hear a girl singing “The Sheik of Araby.” Gatsby is convinced that Daisy’s love “belongs to him,” like the song says. “The stars that shine above, Will light our way to love.”]]> 2018-04-28 19:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256248576 alanis_195136 https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256248895 This song reminds me of the song Fitzgerald puts in the book because Lilly Allen’s voice is very smooth and soft and I picture her as Daisy. The song talks about “waiting for you to come up the stairs, I pretended I was sleeping,” this is like Daisy pretending not to have feelings for Jay Gatsby when she really does. ]]> 2018-04-28 19:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256248895 alanis_195136 https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256268815 I chose this song to go along with “The Sheiks of Araby” because in the song it talks about finding your true love and it does the same in “We Found Love.” This song represents Gatsby and Daisy finally realizing their love for each other. ]]> 2018-04-29 03:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256268815 alanis_195136 https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256268971 2018-04-29 03:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256268971 alanis_195136 https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256269028 2018-04-29 03:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256269028 alanis_195136 https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256269040 2018-04-29 03:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256269040 alanis_195136 https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256269117 The significance of music throughout the novel would be that it creates and sets the mood for most of the scenes throughout the story. The music choices that Fitzgerald chooses to put in the book gives the reader a better understanding of what the characters, like Diasy and Jay Gatsby, are feeling without directly telling the reader. ]]> 2018-04-29 03:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/alanis_195136/hjp4zm5qh4h7/wish/256269117
