"For Daisy was young and her artificial world was redolent of orchids and pleasant, cheerful snobbery and orchestras which set the rhythm of the year, summing up the sadness and suggestiveness of life in new tunes. All night the saxophones wailed the hopeless comment of the "Beale Street Blues" while a hundred pairs of golden and silver slippers shuffled the shining dust."

In chapter eights of The Great Gatsby there was a flashback to Gatsby's and Daisy's encounters at a younger age. Before Gatsby went to war and college, this was the moment when he discovered his feelings for Daisy. "Beale Street Blues" resurfaced Daisy's memories of the places she has been.

It is degrading as he finds himself recapturing a mood himself.]]> 2018-04-28 18:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cassidie_1653762/uoijc035n4dv/wish/256244838 Ain't We Got Fun cassidie_1653762 https://padlet.com/cassidie_1653762/uoijc035n4dv/wish/256244911 From The Great Gatsby
"In the morning

This song is saying that you do not need money to be happy and that happiness is more dependent on the people you love, your outlook on life, and your ethnics. Money itself was not the source of happiness. In The Great Gatsby, the characters, like Daisy and Gatsby, had all the money they could ever need yet they were never happy.
