           I am currently reading Because I am Furniture by Thalia Chaltas, and found a song that I feel really relates to the tone and mood of the book. The song I am using is Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D Minor by Bach-Busoni. The song I choose gives good examples of both sides of  characters voices in my story.
          This song's dynamics vary from loud and hard to a more soft and meaningful tone. This greatly portrays where the mood is set in my book so far. The loud and more menacing parts of the song represent the violent nature of Anke's abusive father. He abuses Anke's brother and sister: Darren and Yaicha. Then as the song progresses and is interrupted by a softer and lighter tone which represents Anke as she is finding her voice through volleyball. My book is depressing right now with Anke's father being the main problem, but as I continue reading Anke is finding strength within herself and with her new found friend on the volleyball team who is going through a rough family situation as well. When I continue to read I hope to find that the soundtrack will become happier as Anke can step up for herself and here family.
