La niña Aventura

~Tan inocente apenas tiene 9 años y mañana quizas lo entendera. ~Que un extraño en su cama toco su cuerpecito con malicia y sin piedad. ~Ella no entiende que ay personas que se animan solo para hacer maldad. ~Y quien diablos fue?~ Un desgraciado sin corazón. ~Solo saben que hiso el daño y se marcho. ~No havia huellas de aquel que la violo. ~La niña llora, se imagina que ayer mientras dormia algo malo le pasó. ~Mas ver sangrero en su ropa... y un poquito de dolor. ~Como es posible que alguien pueda hacer daño a un angelito de dios? ~ Pasaron meses y la niña con sus traumas se le hace dificil dormir. ~ No se divierte y sus muñecas ya no juega, nadie la ve reir.~Y otra noche el martirio, pesadillas del pasado que la hacen sufrir. ~Ya son las 3 de la mañana y la niña en llanto se duerme por fin!...

Translation: LOL, it says that the girl is 9 years old and she's still inocent, maybe tomorrow she will understand. That a stranger touched her little body without mercy nor compassion. She doesn't understand that there are people in these world who only get close to hurt you. AND WHO THE HELL DID IT? It was an a**hole without heart. The only thing they know is that he did the damage and left. There was no evidence of who rapped her. The girl cryes, she can imagine something bad happened to her tha night before, while she was sleeping. After seeing blood in her clothes... And a little bit of pain. How is it possible for someone tu hurt a little angel from god? Months passed and the little girl with traumas had troubles going to sleep every night. She doesn't have fun anymore, she no longer plays with her dolls and nobody she's her laugh anymore. Another night, she has nightmires from the passed that make her sufer one more time. It's 3 in the morning and the little girl after crying all night she finally falls asleep.

I picked this song because i think its kind of how Melinda feels. She was inocent before she got raped, she didn't know what he was doing so she was abused. She didn't know that he was going to hurt her. He just did what he had to do, and left her there. I think Melinda and the little girl could relate, after this happened, because i'm pretty sure they both felt pain. Once again they can relate, because as months passed they both kind off kept a trauma and they had changes in their behavior. Like the little girl wouldn't laugh or play with her dolls, and Melinda was now alone and didn't really care weather she was social or not, and on top of that, she's really quiet and doesn't talk much.

Ludacris - Runaway Love ft. Mary J. Blige

Yeah, i can only imagine what you goin' through, ladies

Sometimes i feel like runnin away myself

So do me a favor right now and close your eyes

And picture us runnun' away together

When we come back, everything is gonna be okay

Open your eyes.

Forced to think that Hell is a place called home

Nothin' else to do but get some clothes and never come back

Runaway love, runaway love

She's steady tryin to figure out why the world is so cold ....

I chose this song because it talks about different cases women go through.

Melinda should speak up do something about it. Shes not the only one and she needs to know that. She needs to do whats best fort her. I think this song could help

Suicidal Tendencies - Nobody Hears

I talk through my eyes, the words pourin' down

Nobody hears

You ask me what's wrong, but what can I say

Nobody hears

I try to tell you, I try to show you

How else can I tell you, how else can I show you

I'm screaming inside, why can't you hear

Nobody hears

You're looking right through me, like I'm not here

Nobody hears

When the last tear falls down

Nothing gets washed away

Another plea put to rest

As nobody hears, nobody hears

So what did I do to you

That makes you run from me

Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself

Don't understand why nobody hears

You figured it out, shaped it to your perfection

Nobody hears

Subtracted my feelings from the equation

Nobody hears

Is it all in my mind, all in my mind

Then it would be easy to find, easy to find

When the last tear falls down

Nothing gets washed away

Another plea put to rest

As nobody hears, nobody hears

So what did I do to you

That makes you run from me

Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself

Don't understand why nobody hears

So if it's all, if it's all in my mind

Then wouldn't it, wouldn't it, wouldn't it be so easy to find

When the last tear falls down

Nothing gets washed away

Another plea put to rest

As nobody hears, nobody hears

So what do I have to do

To make you comfort me

Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself

Don't understand why nobody hears

So I'm sitting here screaming inside myself

Well I'm sitting here crying inside myself

So I'm sitting here screaming to nobody else

Don't understand why nobody hears

And nobody hears, nobody hears, nobody hears

Nobody hears...

I chose this song because it describes the way Melinda is feeling. She hopes that somebody will notice that something is wrong with her because she's so broken, she can't find the courage to speak up about it. She wants to tell somebody about the rape, but doesn't know how or who to tell. Instead of telling somebody, she expresses her emotions through her art and behavior, hoping somebody will understand her hurt, but "nobody hears" what she's trying to say.

B.o.B. Feat. Eminem Hayley - Airplanes 2 (Official Music) Full!!! (RECO...

I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this!
Cause after all the partyin’ and smashn’ and crashin’
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness I’m guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo maybe I’ll go back to the good days!

-. I picked this song airplanes because it talks about wanting a dream or a wish and I think Melinda could use one. Also because eventualy he will fade into blackness and maybe if she had a dream then her life would go back to being good.

The Veronicas-Heavily broken with lyrics.

And now I've had enough of all the hating

Do we even care, it's so unfair

I'm heavily broken And I don't know what to do

Can't you see that I'm choking

And I can't even move

When there's nothing left to say

What can you do

I'm heavily broken And there's nothing I can do

Almost giving up on trying

Almost heading for a fall

And now my mind is screaming out

I've gotta keep on fighting

But then again It doesn't end

I chose this song and these lyrics because I think that this song expresses the hurt and damage that Melinda is going through. Melinda is hated by almost everyone at school and I"m sure that she is almost to the point where she can't take it anymore. The song says can't you see that I'm choking and I can't even move. I think that this relates to Melinda in two ways. When "It" or Andy comes around she can't move and she can't even speak. I think that the part about choking is a huge connection to Melinda because I think that she wants to tell someone what happened but she can't, she chokes on how to say it and who to say it to. Melinda is infact screaming only she is screaming in her head because she won't let anyone in or let anyone know what's going on. Lastly I think this song relates to the novel because it say's gotta keep on fighting but then again it never ends. Melinda doesn't want to be the ways she is she wants to be normal. Everytime Melinda does or tries something to better her life or better her situation something bad happens that reverses all her efforts to make things better.

Staind - It's Been Awhile [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
Since I could stand on my own two feet again

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
Since I can say I love myself as well

And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do

And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
And consequences that are rendered
I stretch myself beyond my means

I chose this because melinda remembers everything that happened that night. and how it say "But i can still remember just the way you taste" this song just reminds me of her so obviously thats why i chose it.

Hilary Duff - Someone's Watching Over Me (Music Video)

i cjose this song because i feel that melinda doesnt really know who she is any more after "it" came along. he made her no know any thing any more. melinda should learn to block people out and not let them hurt her as much as they do now i think she needs to talk to some one.

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

Pocketful Of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield

i picked this song as a peice of advice for melinda.this part of the song suggests that she shouldn't let this take over her and should be strong. this is a bump in the rode and will only be there until she finds it within herself to fix it.she has many people who are judging her but she needs to pick her head up and start creating herself again. take back her life from the boy who took it from her.

oh.oh,oh
Do what you want,
but you're never gonna break me,
sticks and stones are never gonna shake me

These lyrics to me also suggest that melinda needs to find something to make her happy again. maybe through art but just something to express who she originaly was before this incident. create a world where she is safe and feels protected.

There's a place that I go
That nobody knows
Where the rivers flow
And I call it home
And there's no more lies
And the darkness is light
And nobody cries
there's only butterflies

Nobody knows it but me - babyface

The song i picked is Babyface, Nobody Knows.

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
These four walls closing more every day
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
I can say it so clearly but you're nowhere around

These lyrics kindof show what Melinda is feeling. She tryes to pretend nothing happened. She wants to tell someone but she is to scared of what they might say. She puts on a show because nobody knows her secret. Melinda is in pain and she is crying inside, because she has no support,no one to turn to and she wants to be normal again.

TLC - Unpretty

Unpretty by TLC.....

My outsides look cool

My insides are blue

Everytime I think Im through

Its because of you

Ive tried different ways

But its all the same

At the end of the day

I have Myself to Blame

Im just trippin.

Never insecure until I met you

Now im in stupid

I used to be so cute to me

Just a little bit skinny

Why do I look to all these things

To keep you happy

Maybe get rid of you

And then Ill get back to me

As I reflect back on what Ive used an abused

And detect that I need some clues to get through

To those that accused me of never being true

Ill loose if I play into this game and never know the rules

So how do I bring out the me nobody sees

The forest for the trees, how bout the women behind the weave

The light from within this life is the only real remedy

Or find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty

* I think this song fits Melindas situation in a lot of ways. In the first stanza of the song that I posted its talking about how hurt and sad she feels inside and its all IT's fault why she feels this way. As said in the lyrics, she has tried many ways to get through her problems but nothing has worked. "I have myself to blame" fits Melinda I feel, because if Melinda would speak up about it she wouldnt feel how she feels. In the second part I posted its talking about how she used to feel until she met him and Melinda used to have high self esteem until that night that happened to her. And if she can just get it off her chest she can become herself again as said in the song. "Maybe get rid of you, and ill get back to me." Furthermore, in the last part of the song I posted its talking about thaose who didnt see her as being true. I think this relates to Melinda because alot of Melindas ex-friends dont believe her when it comes to what happened the night of the party. "The forest bahind the trees" relates to her as well because the author symbolizes Melinda as a Tree for many reasons.

RIP Tupac - Baby Don't Cry

beneath the surface it was more then just a crooked smile.

Nobody knew about her secret so it took a while.

I could see a tear fall down her cheek.

sheddin quiet tears in the back seat, so when she asked me,

"What if it was you?"

Couldnt answer such a horrible pain to live through.

I tried to tade places in the tragedy

I couuldnt picture three crazed niggaz grabbin me

For just a moment,i was traped in the pain, Lord come and take me

Four niggaz violated,they chased and raped me

Even though it wasnt me, i could feel the grief

Thinkin with your brains blown that would make the pain go

NO!You got to find away to survive

baby dont cry.

I picked this song because although it is a little diffrent situation she still went through the pain and grief of being raped. And it is still effecting her to day.

Baby dont cry,you got to keep your head up

even when the road is hard never give up

Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway

I picked this song because she is trying so hard to tell people what happen to her but she dont thik anyone is listening so she just wants to run away....

Trying hard to reach out

But when i tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So i prayed i could break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes til' i touch the sky

And I'll make a wish

Take a chance

Make a change

And Breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But i wont forget the all the ones that i love

I'll take a risk

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakway.

2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up Alt Version (Unreleased) BEST QUALITY!

when you come around the block brothas clown, but please don't cry dry your eyes, never give up. forgive but don't forget girl keep your head up and when they tell you, you ain't nuttin don't believe them.... keep ya head up ooooo child things are gonna get easier ooooo child things'll get brighter.....

I picked this song because melinda needs to know that yes things will get hard but hold ya head up you will make it past this hard time, that people will be rude or mean but eventually it will die down and sooner or later things will get easier. They dont say it will be the way it was before because everything changes things happen and your have to deal with them but they do say things will get easier.!!!!

Lee Ann Womack I hope you dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they're worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it's worth makin’
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance..

I chose this song by Lee Ann Womack because i think it can show Melinda how strong she shall always remain through all that life hands her. And as well when she feels like she isnt anyone or doesnt mean anything she has to know she does mean something to this world.Shes isnt just another person thats just a number;she stands out to many people and has her own way to shine.

Rascal Flatts- I'm Moving On Lyrics

I also chose this song because he is talking about moving on because the people he's surrounded by don't allow him to change, And that there's a time in everyone's life when all you see are the years passing by, and that those days are gone because he let everyone tell him what to do and pushed him around like he was nothing and he finally decided to move on.

Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You

Because of you

I find it hard to trust

Not Only me,

But everyone around me

Because of You

I am afraid.

I picked Kelly Clarkson-Because of you, because this part of the song connects to her because she doesn't trust any one not evern herself. Every time IT comes around she gets scared and tense, He's changed her completely.

2pac - Only God Can Judge Me Now + Lyrics

The song I chose was Only God Can Judge Me by: Tupac. I chose this song because he is talking about being betrayed and stabbed in the back. He talks about not being able to trust people. I can make a connection to the book because Melinda feels this same way. She got stabbed in the back by a lot of people in her life and it is hard for her to trust people.

Only God can judge me, is that right?

[synth voice] Only God can judge me now
Only God baby, nobody else, nobody else
All you other motherfuckers get out my business

[Verse One: 2Pac]

Perhaps I was blind to the facts, stabbed in the back
I couldn't trust my own homies just a bunch a dirty rats
Will I, succeed, paranoid from the weed
And hocus pocus try to focus but I can't see
And in my mind I'ma blind man doin time
Look to my future cause my past, is all behind me
Is it a crime, to fight, for what is mine?
Everybody's dyin tell me what's the use of tryin
I've been Trapped since birth, cautious, cause I'm cursed
And fantasies of my family, in a hearse
And they say it's the white man I should fear
But, it's my own kind doin all the killin here
I can't lie, ain't no love for the other side
Jealousy inside, make em wish I died
Oh my Lord, tell me what I'm livin for
Everybody's droppin got me knockin on heaven's door
And all my memories, of seein brothers bleed
And everybody grieves, but still nobody sees
Recollect your thoughts don't get caught up in the mix
Cause the media is full of dirty tricks
Only God can judge me

Simple Plan Welcome To My Life with Lyrics

I chose the song Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan because he talks about being alone and nobody caring about how you feel. He also talks about being pushed around like your nothing and there is nobody around for you to talk to, and nobody to be there to help you out when everyone treats you like your nothing.. The lyrics I chose that I think match her the best are...

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?

Are you sick of everyone around?

With their big fake smiles and stupid lies,

While deep inside your bleeding.

I also chose...

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when your down,

To feel like you've been pushed around,

To be on the edge of breaking down, and no one's there to save you.

No you don't know what it's like....Welcome to my life.

Miley Cyrus - The Climb - Official Music Video (HQ)

"The Climb"

I can almost see it.

That dream I'm dreaming, but

There's a voice inside my head saying

You'll never reach it

Every step i'm takin'

Every move i make

Feels lost with no direction,

My faith is shakin'

But i gotta keep tryin'

Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

always gonna be an uphill battle

Sometimes i'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast i get there

Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side

It's the climb.

I picked this song by Miley Cyrus because i htink that the lyrics are a good reminder for melinda. she needs to remember that there are always gonna be mountains (problems) that need to be solved and sometimes they are not going to be her way or something that she likes but thats not the point its how she climbs the mountain.

Also that melinda needs to know that no matter what her decisions will impact her life.

Christina Aguilera - Beautiful

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, I saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

I picked this song by Christina Aguilera because I think that the lyrics are a good reminder for Melinda and that she really needs to hear them. Despite all her pain and how ashamed she feels, she needs to remember that she is beautiful. And if she is ever ashamed or filled with emptiness that remembering she is a beautiful person will help her not be hurt by the words people say that bring her down.

And most importantly, I want Melinda to remember that:
No matter what we do
No matter what they say
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
If she knows that the clouds won't stay, she will be able to make it through her problems.
