This novel, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was set during the 1920s, which is known as an extremely flashy era filled with parties and alcohol. The author called it the Jazz era. Of course, music had to be prominent in order for it to have such a name. There are a few songs mentioned in the book, including "Three O' Clock in the Morning", "Ain't We Got Fun", and "The Love Nest", that show just how significant music is in The Great Gatsby.]]> 2018-04-23 20:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/254605476 kimberly_42087 https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/254605649 This jazz song was playing in the background at one of Gatsby's extravegant parties. During this time, Nick, Tom, and Daisy were all discussing where Jay Gatsby might've gotten all his money from. Also, a little while later during the same song, Nick wonders about the possibility that another girl might waltz in to Gatsby's party whom Gatsby could fall in love with. He wonders about how different it could be if Gatsby could just forget about him and Daisy together. The lyrics that seem to be of importance are as follows.
"It's three o'clock in the morning
We've danced the whole night through
And daylight soon will be dawning
Just one more waltz with you." This goes to show what Gatsby wants (Daisy) and how he really might feel about their original love and their current distance. ]]> 2018-04-23 20:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/254605649 kimberly_42087 https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/254606475 This "easy listening" song was being played on the piano by Kilpsinger in the book. The main part of this song having to do with The Great Gatsby comes with the lyrics "the rich get rich and the poor get children", as it is stated in Chapter 5 of the book. When this song is heard on the piano, it's when Gatsby has Daisy over at his house for the first time. This is extremely significant because it was very important to Gatsby and he wanted to make a good impression. It's possible that Gatsby wanted to let Daisy know just how rich he was, by saying the rich get richer. It was an extremely materialistic time and that seems to be what Daisy was after. ]]> 2018-04-23 20:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/254606475 kimberly_42087 https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/254606542 This other "easy listening" song was also being played by Kilpsinger on the piano. It was played right before "Ain't We Got Fun" and after Gatsby demanded Kilpsinger to play. This song was extremely symbolic to the story because it represents Daisy's decision to stay with Tom in his materialistic life or be comfortable with Gatsby in his so-called "love nest". The lyrics that show this specific feeling are: 
"But the best one of them all
Jack built long ago
Just a love nest
Cozy with charm
Shall we build for pride         
Warmth and love inside". 
This shows that Daisy needs to consider her feelings over her image.]]> 2018-04-23 20:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/254606542 kimberly_42087 https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/255514294 Because of Gatsby's incredible parties and extravegant house, the song "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" came to my mind. This song's genre is considered to be pop. The lyrics that come to mind when I think of The Great Gatsby would be:
 "Glad that you made it, look around
You don’t see one person sitting down
They got drinks in their hands and the room’s a bust
At the end of the night maybe you’ll find love
Fake chit chat ’bout the things they got
And my scout reputation keeping it hot girl
At the party of the year I’m a master plan
If you make me realize I’m your man". 
Gatsby has a party almost every weekend, and they sound like a lot of fun. The part where it says "fake chit chat about the things they got" adds more to what the book is like, because all the characters really seemed to care about was materialistic stuff. Also, when it says "at the end of the night maybe you'll find love" that's exactly what Gatsby intended to do with Daisy. He desperately wanted to get her attention. So, this is the type of sound that I would think of for his parties if this book were to be more modern.]]> 2018-04-26 05:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/255514294 kimberly_42087 https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/255515793 This song has such a unique sound that really brings one back to the 1920s. Its genre would be indie and the lyrics that go well with The Great Gatsby are "I said it’s been a long time
Since someone looked at me that way
It’s like you knew me
And all the things I couldn’t say". This is because Gatsby and Daisy had been apart for so long, and it's obvious that Jay really loves Daisy and would treat her better than Tom. He really knows her, mostly because he's been obsessed with her for almost five years. ]]> 2018-04-26 05:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/255515793 kimberly_42087 https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/255853801 “The Great Gatsby.” Music, thegreatgatsbyreadingmap.blogspot.com/p/jazz-era-music.html.

The lyrics that mostly go with the book would be "Started from the bottom now we're here" because it was much like Gatsby's life. Jay Gatz started off as just a poor farm boy. However, Cody changed him and Jay felt inspired to become rich and powerful. Overall, Gatsby "started from the bottom" and eventually got to be one of the richest men in the book because of his hard work and ambition.]]> 2018-04-27 23:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/256178846 kimberly_42087 https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/256204374 2018-04-28 07:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/256204374 kimberly_42087 https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/256204506 2018-04-28 07:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/256204506 kimberly_42087 https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/256204551 2018-04-28 07:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_42087/toha75xa6c3d/wish/256204551
