1. Music and Art Connections
By Hayden Jeans

2. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I think that the theme of TKAM is the transition from immature to mature due to how much Jem and Scout grow up throughout the book.
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand(98)”.
“Child With a Dove by Pablo Picasso
The CD I chose was inspiring for me because it was a great explanation of courage. Courage is not a man with weapon in his hand but courage is someone fighting for what he loves. The reason that I chose this picture was because I thought that is showed Scout. The way that this little girl is posing reminds me of how I imagined Scout.
Set Fire to the Rain by Adele. A great song to show how Bob Ewell was never true but he would still always win.

3. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
I think that the theme of Romeo and Juliet is that love can be over powering and dangerous when it gets out of control.
“But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun”
Famous Balcony Scene by Ford Brown
Thinking of You by Katy Perry. This song pretty much explains a love story that is just like Romeo and Juliets.
The reason that I chose the CD was because I though it really showed Romeos love for Juliet and how beautiful he thinks she is. Saying someone is the sun really means they like them because the sun is such a big thing. The reason I chose this picture was because I thought the balcony scene was Romeo and Juliets’s most romantic scene.

4. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I think that them theme of The Hunger Games is to show the diversity between rich and poor and how much food rich people get.
“You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope.” 
The one and only by Mark Williams
Hard knock life by Jay Z. This song talks about hard times in the poor communities just like hunger games.
The reason I chose this CD was because it was a great CD to show how the athletes in the hunger games had to rely on one another to get through the hard times in the games.

5. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
I think that the theme of The Alchemist is the only way to succeed is through experience and fails.
“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting”.
Experiences by Zach Hobster. This is a great painting for this book because this painting shows that experiences are a very important part of life.
Party on Fifth Ave by Mac Miller. This song describes a great experience and the Alchemist is about experiences.
The reason I chose this CD was because this book is about experiences and when a dream comes true it is always an awesome memorable experience.
