Her sister is dead and so she would probs relate to the song a lot. I think this song would́'ve  played when julia was waking up from sleeping in her late sisters room. OR even when Julia cried at the end of her visit to Angies house. I think that the lyrics of this song would be relatable for her. ]]> 2022-04-04 13:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128682749 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128717356 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3Jac3gfMvw
Julia feels like everyone is in her way. She has made it clear that she is not a big fan of people or conversation. Especially when trying to find the truth about Olga, Angie, Ama and others are no help and just stand in the way even when Julia seeks their guidance. In a movie this song would play when she is getting defeated by her mother and the rest of her enemies especially when she is grounded and has made enemies :)]]> 2022-04-04 14:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128717356 mcurbina1 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128752197 https://youtu.be/GHe8kKO8uds
This song displays the grief of someone letting go of losing someone and wanting to forget that they were a part of their life. Julia has this connection of losing a loved one, which was her sister Olga. She experiences this shock and tries to cope with that by displaying events in her mind, trying to figure out if her sister is actually dead. The song displays a part explaining the emotion of trying to figure out why this situation happened, and why they feel that certain emotion. Stating   ̈'Cause it feels like murder to put your heart through this ̈. Displaying that emotion that one wants to let go, of but is unable to because of the love and affection they felt for that specific person. What I feel expresses as a reader, is how she feels throughout the death of Olga, she wants to let her sister's death rest at peace but is having a hard time letting her go, and having that sense of closure with her sister.   ]]> 2022-04-04 14:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128752197 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128756078 The more the story progresses, Julia continues to feel some strange guilt. The lyrics express the guilty side of Julia or her feeling responsible for the death of Olga. Although Julia is conducting her own investigation to desperately find answers that pertain to Olga, she still shows signs of regret and a lingering sense of liability. I feel like this song would most likely allow anyone to see the connection between Julia and this song itself.]]> 2022-04-04 14:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128756078 gcrandleel https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128758922 This song relates to juliia because in the story julia fights with her mom and her friends judge he for being herself and in this song he talks about how  he get judged by everyone and how he ́ś himself.]]> 2022-04-04 14:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128758922 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128768315 I think Julia would enjoy this song. It also embodies her beliefs and experience. For example because Julia's body is developed. She is often hypersexualized or shamed for her body. This song mentions this in an empowering and relatable way. The songs also highlights many feminism points like how being addressed as women. This aligns with Julia's beliefs. ]]> 2022-04-04 14:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128768315 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128776305 Julia fights a lot of battles, and she tries to push through without giving up or trying to put up a fight.]]> 2022-04-04 14:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128776305 bdillardba https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128780881 Julia right now is dealing with the loss of her sister and trying to manage after her death but of course she is missing her sister. This song is talking about missing someone who has passed away and dealing with those feelings as well. So this song is relatable to Julia in that way. In a movie this song would probably play when she is in Olgas room on page 18 and 19 because it's a moment in the story where she is thinking of memories of Olga.]]> 2022-04-04 14:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128780881 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128782693 Since Julia is dealing with the death of her sister, this song would be fitting as it's abpit the singer missing someone they loved. On top of this, it also represents Julia digging deeper into her sister's life to see if she had more going on than what Julia thought, signifying her not letting go of her sister's memory.]]> 2022-04-04 14:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128782693 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128788654 Julia feels like an outcast always being compared to her sister, Olga. Her family shows to be unsupportive of what she wants to achieve becoming a writer. The song Nobody by Mitski is about mourning her loneliness and how nobody wants her. ]]> 2022-04-04 14:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2128788654 wchen122 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2129390185 This song relates to Julia because the song talks about, "out of my league," and it may be like how Olga is out of her league and maybe that's why her mom thinks that Olga is, "You were more than just a dream." Julia knows that she can never be better than Olga so she knows that Olga is, "Out of my league." This song relates to the scenes where Julia talks about how Olga was her mom's favorite daughter and how she was better than her so her mom compares Olga to Julia all the time. For example, pages 2,4, and so on with another quote, "Olga's tortillas were always so nice and round," on page 33.]]> 2022-04-04 19:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2129390185 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2130751885 I believe this song relates to Julia’s depressive moods but also captures her outgoing and creative personality. When the Sun Hits by Slowdive is a love song about the worry of love burning out too fast regardless of how much love is there. The lyric “Sweet thing, I watch you (burn away)” reminds me of how Julia was reminiscing about her sister in her room on her bed. She says so many sweet things about her sister remembering her. The burn away part is more like knowing her sister is gone and all she has is memories of who her sister once was. ]]> 2022-04-05 14:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2130751885 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2131325924 I chose this song for Julia because rather than listening to something sad and a song that describes the negatives about your life. I chose something that makes you feel like you have hope and something just brightens up the spirit a little more. Julia has been going to parties because of her friend Lorena and also smokes when Lorena offers. This song brings those points up but obviously in lyrical form. When you lose someone whether it's someone or yourself you want to feel like you have a purpose and this is how this song makes you feel.]]> 2022-04-05 19:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2131325924 aribot2 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2131758349 I chose this song for Julia because it describes her feeling she has now that her inspiration/person she loved is now gone and feels Alone so she is trying to find everything out about her sister to help herself feel content. I also like Marshmello so I chose this song. :)]]> 2022-04-06 01:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2131758349 https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2132726906 This song relates to Julia  because the song talks about being sad. Julia is sad, frustrated, and struggles to have a relationship with her grieving parents. Every time she does something with her mom it shows that their relationship only struggles and gets worse the more they be with each other because of their differences. Also I feel like Julia thinks its her fault her sister died and like her sister death forces her to be closer with her family and she did not know much about her sister so shes looking through her things for clues and stuff like that. Another thing the song talks about is suicide and i feel like that is what Julia might think of doing because of the way her life is getting more frustrated.]]> 2022-04-06 14:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rjandujar/gz5ldrmbarjfflxw/wish/2132726906
