Nick thinks about the possibility of another girl coming to the party that Gatsby could fall in love with and forget about his underlying love for Daisy. Daisy is just leaving with her husband when the song starts to play. ]]> 2018-04-20 20:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/253987554 tanner_104168 https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/253991032 This song connects to the song in the story, “Three O’Clock in the Morning”, because of its romantic appeal. This is significant because in her story Jay wants to create a romantic environment for the presence of Daisy. Kendrick write “LOVE.” to express his own relationship with his fiancé, Whitney Alford. The couples relationship models what Gatsby hopes to become with Daisy some day. ]]> 2018-04-20 20:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/253991032 tanner_104168 https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255509646 The song is played on page 78 when Jordan and Nick are traveling through New York and she just told him how Gatsby and Daisy used to date, and that Gatsby moved to Long Island in hopes of seeing her. The song was a standard jazz and well recognized by the popculture. The lyrics of the song represent Gatsby’s romantic plans to reconnect with Daisy and lure her into his gilded mansion where he will rekindle their youthful love. ]]> 2018-04-26 04:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255509646 tanner_104168 https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255512211 The song relates to “A Sheik of Araby” because of the scene that the song was playing. The scene consists of Jordan conversing with Nick about how Gatsby and Daisy used to date and that the only reason he moved back to Long Island was to hopefully get with Daisy again. This connects to the song by HAIM because the song is about reinventing a lost love between two people and this is exactly what Gatsby is planning on doing with Daisy. ]]> 2018-04-26 05:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255512211 tanner_104168 https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255515236 Gatsby order Klipspringer, called the “boarder” because he is always there, to play the piano when he, Daisy and Nick are touring Gatsby’s mansion the day that Daisy and Gatsby meet for the first time in almost five years. Klipspringer plays two songs that were popular in the 1920’s and that the reader recognized, “Ain't We Got Fun” and “The Love Nest”. “Ain’t We Got Fun is an ironic refrain that the singer repeats over and over after outlining all the ways the couple is falling into poverty. The song opens with bill collectors gathering round, moves to unpaid rent, and finally to the singer being laid off from work. ]]> 2018-04-26 05:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255515236 tanner_104168 https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255516467 This song connects to “Ain’t We Got Fun” because it is based around the idea of poverty. Jay-Z raps about how he was raised in poverty and therefore has been against all odds his whole life. His lyrics tell people to stay hopeful no matter there situation because if he got out and is now living the high life than anyone can. This is similar to the other song where the singer is currently is poverty and isn’t hopeful that he will get out. Both songs try to send a message that most people are in poverty at one point or another, but you just have to keep working and you’ll make it to the high life where you belong. ]]> 2018-04-26 06:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255516467 tanner_104168 https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255519752 Music plays a major role in “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Popular songs act as commentary on the novel’s action, reflecting and counter-pointing it. The jazz played at Gatsby’s parties simultaneously invokes and repressed sexuality, just as Gatsby acts on and represses sexual desire for the idealized Daisy. The music of the spheres is invoked as an idealized counterpoint to the sexualized jazz. The novel’s themes - love, betrayal, loss, violent death - are also operas perennial themes.]]> 2018-04-26 06:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_104168/r04bgixzxkgg/wish/255519752
