Essential Questions

In hard times, what causes come individuals to prevail while others fail?

What is voice and how can we use it?

Do we find or create our true selves and how do we determine where we belong?

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.

  2. I think this song fits the novel because the song talks about how others put you down and crush your self-esteem, and Andy crushed her into pieces, she cant see her beauty but like the song says "You are Beautiful NO Matter What They!! :)
