Last blog of the year

My favorite blog assignment was when we had to search for a picture that related to slavery and then reflect on it.  I thought that blogging was a really good interacting tool.  It is really cool to see what my other classmates have to say about the different assignments, and I like it how you can comment on the blogs just like on facebook.  I feel like blogging is a learning tool also,  it let's you research more in depth into the subject of what we talked about in class.  I put a lot of thought into all of my blogs, i made sure that i covered all of the guidlines.  I think that you should have the juniors next year do this also.  I probably will stop blogging after this last one, even though it's really fun and educational.

20s music playlist

1.Yes, We Have No Bananas-Great White Way Orchestra, Billy Murray vocal 
2.Ha-Cha-Cha-Rudy Vallée & his Connecticut Yankees 
3. Turn Off Your Light, Mr. Moon Man-Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth 
4. Instrumental jazz pieces 
I picked these songs because they represent the music that Gatsby played at his parties, that the rich would attend.  The people of the 20s were very showy and the women were usually flappers of some sort, and some of this music is from the flappers.  Also during the 20s the jazz age was going on.  This is when jazz started to get popular and you would hear it where ever you went for the most part.  But I choose these songs to represent Gatsby's personality of, "life of the party."
