Novel Playlist

Dear Matt,

I picked out a playlist of songs that in my own opinion you can really relate to them. The first song is “Just Keep Swimming” by Ellen DeGeneres because towards the end of the book when your scared that you letting your team down in the championship you get really scared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsemWIZUk4k .So I felt it just really fit. " I can see the end of the swim lane... Everything burns. My muscles, my lungs, my eyes"  ( ).

My second song would be “I’m Just a Kid” by Simple Plan. I felt this song fir because you are indeed just a kid and you can’t be holding all that weight of the swim team on your shoulders.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9gz0Z9yV1k. " We can't win the meet unless you take first. You might as well save yourself the embarrassment."

The third song I picked is “BRAVE” by SARA BAREILLES. I picked this song because you took it like a man during the championship and even though you felt all alone you still accepted the challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyAfjUHlFSM. " If you want to bail, Gratton, it won't matter now... I'm going to swim."

My final song would be “All I Do Is by Win” DJ Khaled because you did end up winning and you felt amazing when your swim team ran shouting your name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eWmnhOIW0k. As your  friends said "You did it! You did it!" You were so overwhelmed and excited you definitely gained some respect that day.
