Wanted you More

Authors Note: This tells the perspective from the song "Wanted You More" by Lady Antebellum the boy and the girl singing about what they thought went wrong in their relationship.

Some people get that feeling that they want to be with someone more than the other person wants to be with them. That feeling is never a good feeling, it makes you feel unwanted and not important. The song “Wanted you More” by Lady Antebellum is describing that two people were convinced that they wanted the other person more than the other person wanted them. And they both thought that the other person did things wrong and didn't really care about the relationship. 

From the boys point of view in the song is saying that he didn't know why she stopped trying. He waited to hear from her and when he didn't he assumed that she didn't care, so he gave up. In a lot of relationships that is how it ends, not knowing at all what went wrong and it comes out of nowhere. In the girls point of view she knew why she was done, she realized that from the little things that he did were signs that made her realize that he didn't have enough room in his life for her and didn't follow through on his promises.

Since the perspective is coming from both the girl and the boy it would be up to the person that was listening to the song. Everyone might interpret it in their own way. they might relate it to their own life or see it from a completely different view of the actual meaning of the song.

They are saying that even through all of the plans they had for their future together the little things that they both didn't see coming made them separate. To get over all of it they both told themselves that they thought they needed. They told themselves that they didn't care and they didn't need one another. They both knew what went wrong in their own ways and were okay with the fact that they wanted each other more and didn't need the other one to be happy. Neither of them knew what they themselves did wrong but they both felt the same way and knew it wasn't working between them. 

Music

Authors Note: This tells you how music affects you in different ways and how it relates to different people in different ways.

The world moving silently around you, with your headphones in. You are in your own little world that only holds your thoughts and no distractions. Whatever is on your mind, music can relate to it. Sometimes the lyrics can make you understand how you feel when you don’t know how to put it into words. When your emotions are all mixed up you can find music that relates to your life. It can put it all in better perspective for you. When you play your favorite song it takes away all the worries and lifts your mood.

Music isn't just to listen to or make you feel better, it is actually good for your brain. It  relaxes you more and keeps you focused. It helps train your brains to memorize different notes and words. By listening to music it can help your memory by being able to contain information. According to scientists research on different brain diseases, Alzheimer’s patients have been shown to benefit mentally from listening to music. Patients with Parkinson’s also benefit from listening to music. Some have been able to walk better while listening to music

Music is personal; we like songs that have meaning to us or ones that are helpful to us. We all have different tastes in music, which is one of the things that makes everyone different. It might just be a song to someone, but for you it could explain your past or what is going on with you in the moment. Listening to music creates a clear perspective on life. It can make you feel a certain way or help you retain a certain memory. Whether it's love, suffering, or teaching you to believe in yourself; it impacts your mood. This can make you want to achieve a goal or inspire you to do something you have never done before.

Listening to music is like reading a good book, only you are just listening to the words. At the same time they are very different. Books tell  you someone else's story, but music can tell you your own.. Everyone interprets songs in their own way, which is what makes music so amazing. Some music teaches us lessons, and some songs tell us to let go of your past and live in the present. Many show you that no matter how dirty your past is, your future is still spotless and you can change who you are or what type of person you want to become. Songs may retell your story or show you a new one. 

The important thing about music is that it is a escape, an escape to the perfect place that lets you just think. You don't have to put up with what anyone is saying or doing; you can just clear your mind. It doesn't matter that is going on in your life music can make it all go away for awhile and let you be happy. Music is something everyone enjoys, it speaks to everyone in different ways. It puts you in a different state of mind, music allows you realize what is important in your life, and what never was. 

Hope

Authors note: The book A Child Called "it" has a lot of different themes but I chose power of hope. He gave up but he never lost hope.

The main theme of the book A Child Called “It” is the power of hope. Even though he gave up on the hope of ever getting out, the hope he had was different, he hoped it would all end well. He would hope that once it would just be bad enough that he would die and not have to put up with the excruciating pain he went through every day. It wasn’t just physical pain he went through, it was mental pain also. He wasn’t even thought of as part of the family anymore. He was just someone who they were forced to put up with. So instead of welcoming him into the family his mother would beat him until he couldn’t stand and until the pain didn’t affect him anymore.

Imagine being trapped, trapped in life that is lonely and forgotten by the ones you used to think of as your family. Holding in your tears as your are being beaten or trying not to think about your hunger as you are being starved for days. This shouldn’t be any way that someone has to live their life, some people don’t make it out alive because they have just simply just lost hope of every making it out, but in cases people fight through the pain and finally make it out and are finally free.

In the book A Child Called “It” he wished every day that his mother would stop putting him through the pain everyday so he wouldn’t have to go through the hurt any longer. The only thing that kept him from breaking down in front of his mother was that if he did cry or break down in front of her as she was beating him or screaming at him, was that would give her what she wanted, to see him hut from the unbearable pain she put upon him. It would give her the satisfaction of winning all the “games” she had for him.

All the “games” she had for him were not games anyone would want to play, and there is no way of winning them. Most of the games were some kind of torture. She would make him drink chemicals or sit in the bathroom with the chemicals. His mother would make him sit in the bath tub in freezing cold water for hours without moving at all. You would think after going through this kind of pain that you would just give up and let her hurt you, but he never let the pain get to him. He always tried to stay strong through everything. Eventually he got out of this terrible life and got to be free with the hope of a better life away from all the pain and suffering.
