The lyrics to the song represent enjoying life at its fullest and it's mainly for people who are seeking for a pleasurable life. One of the lyrics in the song went, "The rich get richer and the poor get children". The rich can represent Gatsby becoming more cheerful when he reunites with Daisy in the middle of the novel. Though, "the poor get children" could represent Daisy's weak marriage with Tom and how she had a child named Pammy. The song surrounds the idea of types of relationships that were happening in the beginning of the novel then gives the reader a hint of the possible relationships that will either grow or destroy themselves. The author likes to foreshadow events throughout the novel. ]]> 2018-04-27 23:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256181447 keyana_1617732 https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256181623 This song is sang by John Steel but in "The Great Gatsby", it's played by Klipspringer when Gatsby demands him to play a song. This song mostly talks about a choice between two lovers, but one of them has a desire for one another. One of the lyrics state, "Dream room for two. Better than a palace with a glided dome, is a love nest you can call home." These lyrics are pointed directly to Daisy about her two lovers, Tom and Gatsby. She could leave her palace, which would be Tom's marriage and go with Gatsby who has a "love nest". The song expresses Daisy's feeling for both of the lovers and what they could provide for her. Fitzgerald uses this song to influence the mood of sympathy and persuading empathy towards the readers so that they'll feel bad for Daisy.  ]]> 2018-04-27 23:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256181623 keyana_1617732 https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256181768 This song is sang by The Beatles, which was also played in "The Great Gatsby" by Klipspringer. This song relates to Gatsby's love for Daisy and he'll do whatever to takes to get her back. The lyrics that represent this obsession is, "Your love belongs to me. At night when you're asleep, into your tent I'll creep." Gatsby's obsession for Daisy is ridiculous because Gatsby starts to go into his one fantasy where Daisy is the only woman he could love. These lyrics from Gatsby's perspective is about how he can give Daisy the love she wants and that Tom isn't good. The tents described in the lyrics represent Daisy's house across the bay from Gatsby's house and this shows how close they are from each other. Also, it connects with their relationship when they reunite  and it foreshadows the affair Daisy will have. ]]> 2018-04-28 00:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256181768 keyana_1617732 https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256233801 Music has been one of the most popular events for social gatherings or just simply an enjoyment for one's pleasure. Though, in "The Great Gatsby", music is shown as a emotional expression of how one of the characters feels. The Jazz Age during the 1920s, insisted of partying, cocktails, and money. Also, the Jazz Age contained violence and an escape from reality. Using the music in Fitzgerald's book, "The Great Gatsby" allows him to capture one character's emotion of give the hint to the readers about one of the character's situations.]]> 2018-04-28 16:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256233801 keyana_1617732 https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256245928 This song is related to "The Great Gatsby" because it talks about jealousy. In the novel, Gatsby expresses his jealously when he realizes that Daisy is married to a man named Tom. The song states, "You're the only one invited, I said there's no one else for you." This relates to the scene where Gatsby invited Daisy to see his mansion in order to make her fall in love with him again. He didn't invite anyone else important like Tom, except for Nick. Also, this song relates towards another song, "Love Nest by John Steel. They both express the unforgettable, strong statements in their songs that attract the listeners into listening more. Both of them are in the romantic genre in music. ]]> 2018-04-28 18:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256245928 keyana_1617732 https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256246381 This song can be related to "The Great Gatsby" because it talks about one's person's feelings for another. The song expresses a gloomy attitude towards the beginning, which can be compared to Daisy's marriage with Tom. The lyrics state, "I said I didn't feel nothing baby, but I lied. I almost cut a piece of myself for your life, guess I was just another pit stop
'til you made up your mind." This statement can be related to how Daisy felt about Tom having affairs with other women, especially with Myrtle. In some aspects, Daisy feels reality hitting her and she starts losing interested in Tom due to the affair. She felt betrayed because she had a child with Tom and believes that he never really loved her. Also, this song can be related to "Ain't We Got Fun" because they both express the reality of life and not everyone is equal]]> 2018-04-28 19:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256246381 keyana_1617732 https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256262158 "Jesse's Girl' can be compared to the music put in "The Great Gatsby" because it talks about strong emotions towards love. The lyrics state, "And I'm looking in the mirror all the time, wondering what she don't see in me, I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines, ain't that the way love supposed to be". This emotion can be directed to the song, "Sheik of Araby" because they both share the strong obsession of wanting one person to love them they way they love that person. Though, the song "Jessie's Girl" can be related to the scene where Gatsby tries to convince Daisy to tell Tom that she loves Gatsby. When Gatsby realizes that Daisy can't say it right away, he feels hurt for a second and tries to piss Tom off. ]]> 2018-04-29 01:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256262158 keyana_1617732 https://padlet.com/keyana_1617732/ombzczxtf6qr/wish/256263769 All of the songs displayed in this presentation would help convoy the desired mood because, they are all connected to complex relationships .
