The rich get richer and the poor get- children.

The rich get richer and the poor get- children.”

Scott Fitzgerald uses this song for them reuniting to set a mood of cheer. Giving the reader the ability to understand the cheerful bliss the characters are feeling. Lyrics like "The rich get richer and the poor get- children" is used to describe the corruption that is within the book but yet the characters due not care now that they are together.

Others discuss how Gatsby gained his wealth]]> 2018-04-28 21:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256253929 morgan_732320 https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256254221 2018-04-28 21:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256254221 morgan_732320 https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256254227 “We've danced the whole night through
And daylight soon will be dawning
Just one more waltz with you”

The purpose once again is to show the uder bliss the character are in right now. Both happy and dancing till early in the mornings not caring at all. And unaware and ignoring the talk about how Gatsby possibly got his money. Overall the song is used to depict a happy scene]]> 2018-04-28 21:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256254227 morgan_732320 https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256254457 "All night the saxophones wailed the hopeless comment of the 'Beale Street Blues"

It references back in the day when Gatsby originally courted Daisy before he went to war.]]> 2018-04-29 00:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256260636 morgan_732320 https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256263836 “The seven wonders of the world I've seen,
And many are the places I have been”

The purpose of the music in the scene is to bring in a feeling of bitter happiness. As Gatsby remembers the pleasant times loss.
This is given to the reader as a happy song gives a heartwarming feeling and after going to war making this disappear.]]> 2018-04-29 01:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256263836 morgan_732320 https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256264754 This pop song basically describes what’s happening during the scene. The song describes how nothing else matters and that it is just them now. Once again in complete bliss of what’s happening around them, the world disappearing and it just being them. Which is exactly what is described in the songs with lyrics like: “If it ends right here, I could care less I could care less, if this is it...”]]> 2018-04-29 02:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256264754 morgan_732320 https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256264811 This slow song could replace the one given in the story. Although it is not as cheerful as the one in the book it gives off a more clear mood of loss. It describes basically what happens in the story with a time very long gone. It’s just more sad than the story gives and is a lot more clear of what it is going for. Although I guess it does not really reflect the happiness in the flashback but instead reflects the loss of that time. “Holding you again could only do me good Oh, how I wish I could But you're so far away...” is a lyric that describe how Gatsby is feeling with his loss.]]> 2018-04-29 02:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256264811 morgan_732320 https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256264824 This slow pop song is basically more fits the mood of the song with the reuniting of Daisy and Gatsby. Just the want and need for each other and forgetting things around him. It does this by doing very lovey dovey and intimate lyrics. The only thing that separates the two is that the original song has a better way of describing the corruption that is happening in the town in the book.]]> 2018-04-29 02:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256264824 morgan_732320 https://padlet.com/morgan_732320/jrisvo98y2n7/wish/256266187 Scott Fitzgerald uses songs throughout the story in select scenes.
