For this post I will be creating a sound track for my book The Fault In Our Stars. These songs will be chosen by me and I will try to not steal any from the actual sound track for the movie. The first song I think fits in with the book is 'Heavy In Your Arms' by Florance and The Machine. I found this song through one one my friends, because we are using it for a dance. I believe that this song implys directly to Hazel. Because in the song it portrays a lover who thinks they are insufferably heavy for their partner to carry. She doesn't want to hurt them but also cant stop loving them. In the book the last thing Hazel wants to do is hurt the ones she loves. especially Augustus. There is a line in the song that says, "my loves an iron ball, wrapped around your ankels over the the waterfall". This pretty much sums up Hazel and Augustus's relationship. Because they are both sick and one is going to die a lot sooner than the other their love is like an 'iron ball' around the others ankels. But their love is also like 'concreat feet' because it's not going anywhere any time soon.

Another song I like for this book is 'The Last Song' by The All American Rejects. I think this is perfect to descibe Augustus. I cant wirte a lot about is or I'll wind up giving something away. But when you listen to the song and if you've read the book, you'll get why I chose it. And for those of you who haven't read the book, READ IT. Also dont listen to the song then if you haven't goten to the end... it kind of ruins it. But anyway I really like this song for the end of the book.

I think the songs you picked fit well with the book. Also The Fault In Our Stars is an amazing book!
