Three Little Birds

     This link is to a music video for the song "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Ray. I choose this song to relate to my book for many reasons. Looking deeper into the song, you understand that it is about people getting to know eachother, which is exactly what the three girls are doing in the novel. The best lyrics that show alot for the book are "you're gonna find yourself some way, some how". The reason I feel those words especially are relatable because this is a story of three girls lives that have just completely changed. Everything is new to them after this discovery that they arent sure how to be or act.

Another small but great detail in the song that really helps is the line "three little birds sat on my window". After understanding that the book is about three girls finding out they are sisters this line just gives you an awesome image that really helps you think more deep into that main point. I believe the rhythm and the beat of this song really related well to three black swans. What do you think about the connection?

Wrapping It Up

 

   We have offically made it! The school year is finally coming to an end and so are our blogs. Through out this entire school year, for each of the four quarters, I have read a new book and completed the Read For A Lifetime program. During my junior year in English class, I have really seen my reading skills incease and I have watched each blog grade increase.I have really enjoyed blogging over different books. The many things I enjoyed about blogging was the freedom of no prompt as time went on and we came up with more blog post. Another great thing I really enjoyed was the whole idea from keeping in contact with another school that is heavily active in the blog world. Keeping in contact with you by skyping was great and getting to comment on eachothers blog gives us many ideas for our own and helps us connect to them.

     The four books Ive read this semester are Please Ignore Vera Dietz, Willow, What Happened to Goodbye, and Three Black Swans. All of them were great books but if I had to choose a favorite I would choose Please Ignore Vera Dietz. If anyone is in question of whether or not the prrogam has great books to choose from, it definitley does. Participate in the Read for a Lifetime program benifitted me by exposing the many different types of books there are. Blogging also beniftted me by helping me break down the reading material for better understanding for myself, and for others. I want to thank Mrs. Hayes for exposing me to the blogging world and letting us use this as a way to complete a great program!
