The song A-team is about the life of someone who's had it tough. They haven't been dumped or heartbroken, but has had a real hard life. The song writer metaphorically shows how hard life really can be. Songs usually disguise actual hard things rather than really showing them like the writer does in this song.
"Struggling to pay rent" isn't hiding that she's struggling through life and it is exposing to the public how life isn't perfect for everyone. Music is a great way to express real problems because many people hear it. If we use music all the time to show how our worlds are ending because we are over taken by heart broken songs.
"And they scream the worst things in life come free to us cos we're just under the upper hand" he's saying the harsh reality of life rather than singing about the wonderfulness of his own life. He tries to explain in metaphorical words mostly. This line outright says that things are bad for her instead of just implying it.
"Stuck in her daydream." This lines shows even if something horrible is happening everybody needs their one thing that they dream about. This song relates to everybody going through real horrible things not just people who were broken up with.

The Lovely Bones
The lovely bones was a book before and after life. The story was a beautifully written story about the past and present of the main character Susie's life and all the people still alive. It goes from character to character showing how her life was carried out after she was dead. The beautifully written but eerie story carries out the life of a dead girl in her heaven and her live connections.
The lovely bones was not just about the death, but it was about life after death. I admired the author of the lovely bones for not making this a murder mystery but instead writing a beautiful masterpiece of how all the people in your life are connected to you. Susie didn't ever let her fall away from her live world and could not give up because she felt connected to the life she was unfairly pulled from. I think the fact that it portrayed not just her life and her heaven but she showed everybody else's life and pretended it was her own.
Sometimes in life people don't want to let go of something and it shows both sides in this story. In life people are afraid to give up on their old life, in this story it was real. She was afraid to give away her old life and just watched what she never wanted to give it up. I think that she needed to eventually give up her life in the multiple opportunities she had. I think it became sad when she had an actual opportunity to give up and instead decided to pretend she was her sister.

Adoption: to change the process or not?
This article was about different peoples opinions on international and national adoption. THe article stated that russia is outlawing that Americans can adopt from there, and it used to be very easy to adopt from Russia and now it seems to be harder for people to adopt. The issue is even if the American system is harder there are still kids that need to be adopted so do they need to be adopted from foreign places or from here.
Many people made very good points. I think that it doesn't really make sense that if there are tons of kids in America that need to be adopted so it makes sense that we should adopt with in our country, but there are many risks with adopting with in America. Children can be taken away from there new parents which almost never happens internationally, which is why parents feel safer to adopt internationally. If America had some better adoption laws than it may be better for all of Adoption.
I don't understand why they would not let kids to be adopted from russia if they also need to be adopted. Even if it's easier for kids to be adopted in Russia and kids need to be adopted here its not fair to force a family to adopt a child that could possibly be taken away from them. I think that all children deserve to have a good life so the laws should be easier in America and maybe slightly harder in Russia and have the possibility to adopt children from Russia.
