1. Life is a Mix Tape

2. What songs are on your life’s mix tape? What song best describes you? Is there a song about emotions you often feel? Does a song make you cry? Does a song make you laugh? What song do you do homework to? What song puts you in a good mood? What song makes you feel all gooey inside? Be sure to explain why these songs are the soundtrack to your l

3. Example My life would be a very diverse mix tape because I love many different types of music. It would have to start with “Best Around,” the Karate Kid theme song, because I see myself as a ninja or warrior in a world that is tough, but “nuthin’s gonna ever keep ya down.” The tape would also include “Please, Please, Please, Let me Get What I Want” by the Smiths. The song was in 500 Days of Summer, a movie that I recently fell in love with. The song is like a little daily prayer with the lyrics “Please, please, please, let me get what I want/ Lord knows it would be the first time.” Since I am married, it would be crucial to play “Love and Marriage” by Frank Sinatra, as well as “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” by the Rolling Stones. Finally, I would have to include the late, great Michael Jackson’s Jackson Five song “ABC” to represent my job. “ABC/ Easy as 123/ Easy as Do Re Me, ABC/ 123/ Baby you and me girl.” As soon as the tape ends, it is my hope that listeners will moonwalk into Heaven.
