The United States were launched towards an upswing of economic prosperity, which translated into social and cultural changes. As the 1920’s began, these shifts became particularly important for the development of the new role of women in society. Empowerment, financial independence and sexual liberation were some of the objectives to achieve by a section of the female community. Along these lines and as a way of self-expression, ‘women embraced the new freedoms, cutting their hair, applying makeup, and tossing out dowdy fashions of the past for shorter skirts and slinkier more formfitting attire’ (Time-Life 11).

  • And “Ain't Misbehavin'”And There Are a Few Bars Of:” the Charleston” Which
    HELLO AGAIN,HANNAH. Well after forty years they recovered GATSBY (Robert Redford) from the bottom of his remarkable swimming pool and Lo,and behold,LeoDi Caprio surfaced..Debate abounds as to the good looks and acting prowess of Redford vs Di Caprio.But this is not MY issue which is THE MUSIC in the film I first discussed this in the email sent to you and is retained below.Note that I have included too the remarks of Chris Tyle a jazz historian who shares my view. I have seen the film.It is not without fascination : the clothes(even the men’s are intriguing except for DiCaprio’s pink suit),the cars , about which I wrote to you earlier,the parties which are explosive(you wonder if fireworks guru George Plimpton might have orchestrated these).The Plaza scenes were disappointing:I especially missed the Palm Court where Katie and I spent many memorable occasions and was shown in the 1974 Gatsby film. In the Gatsby novel, Fitzgerald’s prose trumps the plot of the novel.What is put “in play” is what is tantamount to a documentary and what brings back audiences repeatedly decade after decade is the prospect of revisiting the exciting Roaring Twenties-The Jazz Age.Documentaries seek authenticity and this film fulfills that requirement in an otherwise period faithful. manner that excludes the music,the definitive music of The Jazz Age.If you listen carefully you will hear two recordings of our boy Satch: “Saint Louis Blues” and “Ain’t Misbehavin’”and there are a few bars of:” The Charleston” which would have fueled your great grandmother through her own roaring 20s and for next sixty years punctuated in 1968 by her session with Louis A.

  • Excerpt from the Great Gatsby (Chapter 1) Nick Is Visiting His Cousin, Daisy, for Dinner Upon His Arrival in West Egg
    NAME: _____________________________ DATE: __________________________ Excerpt from The Great Gatsby (Chapter 1) Nick is visiting his cousin, Daisy, for dinner upon his arrival in West Egg. Before I could reply that he [Gatsby] was my neighbor dinner was announced; wedging his tense arm imperatively under mine Tom Buchanan compelled me from the room as though he were moving a checker to another square. Slenderly, languidly, their hands set lightly on their hips the two young women preceded us out onto a rosy-colored porch open toward the sunset where four candles flickered on the table in the diminished wind. "Why CANDLES?" objected Daisy, frowning. She snapped them out with her fingers. "In two weeks it'll be the longest day in the year." She looked at us all radiantly. "Do you always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always watch for the longest day in the year and then miss it." "We ought to plan something," yawned Miss Baker, sitting down at the table as if she were getting into bed. "All right," said Daisy. "What'll we plan?" She turned to me helplessly. "What do people plan?" Before I could answer her eyes fastened with an awed expression on her little finger. "Look!" she complained. "I hurt it." We all looked--the knuckle was black and blue. "You did it, Tom," she said accusingly. "I know you didn't mean to but you DID do it. That's what I get for marrying a brute of a man, a great big hulking physical specimen of a----" "I hate that word hulking," objected Tom crossly, "even in kidding." "Hulking," insisted Daisy.
