1920's

All Alone by Irving Berlin for when Gatsby is feeling down
 I Wanna Be Loved By You by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and Herbert Stothart for how Gatsby feels about Daisy
and Perfect Swing just cause

Crane

Once there came a man
Who said,
"Range me all men of the world in rows."
And instantly
There was terrific clamour among the people
Against being ranged in rows.
There was a loud quarrel, world-wide.
It endured for ages;
And blood was shed
By those who would not stand in rows,
And by those who pined to stand in rows.
Eventually, the man went to death, weeping.
And those who staid in bloody scuffle
Knew not the great simplicity.

To me this poem is about how people fight in needless wars. Then when the war is in full swing they forget what they are auctually fighting about, but continue to fight because they do not want to be apart of the losing side. This is an anti-war poem.

Mark Twain

"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."
To me this quote means that if you never tell a lie you will have less stress and regrets through out your life. This quote is what i should try to live by, but i do not tend to follow this quote as good as i would hope.
