María Playlist

1. Love Hurts - Nazareth (Robert)
      When María is told she is never allowed to see Matt again she is hurt deep. She loves Matt but she must realize that since is an "animal" she must never see him again. Even though María is still quite young at this time she has to learn about how love can hurt for no reason at all.  




2. Rolling In The Deep - Adele (Robert)
      María is taken away from Matt and is not allowed to see her anymore. "Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep" is a quote from the song, which strongly relates to the book where María is taken away from Matt, this is because María is taken away from Matt against her own will and she is crying and sad because she misses him.

3. Somebody Like You - Keith Urban (André)

      This relates to María because it is how she feels when she is actually with Matt, even though the singer is supposed to be a man, but if you change a few words then it still makes sense for María. It talks about how it makes her feel when she is with Matt, as shown where it says "Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to," before she met him, and "I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast." But now everything in her life has changed after meeting him.

4. Old Blue - The Byrds (André)
      This song is what I think María would listen to after Furball died, because it is not a sad song that makes you remember that her dog is dead. But instead makes her remember the good times she had with the dog. I think this song would make her feel better after her dog died and help her think positive thoughts.








5. I Love you like a Love Song – Selena Gomez (Ron)

This is a love song that Maria may listen to because she feels like she is in love with Matt. Through this song it could be used to express the love between Matt and Maria. This love song is very upbeat and happier, so Maria would listen to this song when they are with each other and not separated, because of the mood of the song. Maria forgave him and loved him all the same even when she thought that he killed Furball in chapter 16. The fact that she forgave him for the murder of her dog which she loved so much. She even forgave him for his actions and behavior at his party, which I think was very big of her.  

6.  Set fire to the Rain – Adele (Ron)

Well this song is about how even when it feels like there is no hope, love can conquer all, and I think that that reflects what is one of the themes in the book. Maria is separated and when they are escaping they are scared for Matt’s life. Through all the separation while Maria was not allowed to see Matt for a long time in his childhood, and they still had hope and they did meet again. Love does really conquer all.  This song is a song for when you are feeling down, and to show you that there is still hope. So Maria would listen to this song before and probably while she was going to meet Matt again at El Viejo funeral.

7. I want to break free - Queen (Matt)






8. Hot and Cold - Katy Perry (Matt)
The resin that I have chosen the song "Hot and Cold" by Katey Perry was because Maria seems to change her mind a lot.  She has a lot of emotions that change very quickly about people such as Matt.  In the song it says, "your hot then you cold," meaning that there is no way that "you" or Maria cannot keep changing the opinion, emotions, or decisions in life.
