"Zebra Forest" Mon. April 13th

*MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILER ALERT(S)!!!*
Prompt: Pick three songs that go along with the book.
Book: Zebra Forest 

Links to songs~
     i.   " Jake and the Neverland" Pirates theme song
     ii.  " Little Brothers" by Phineas and Ferb
     iii. "I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe


       The first song is a theme song to a Disney Junior show, and I thought it fit the book well, even if it is a kid's show song. I think it fits the book well, because in the beginning in the book Annie B. is telling a pirate story to Rew. She tells us in the book, "he'd started loving pirate stories in kindergarten, when he found Treasure Island." Which explains why Rew loves to hear about pirates. In fact, he thinks that his father, (who his grandma tells him he died in a fistfight), was a pirate. Rew also believes that his grandpa and Gran were pirates too because, they hid their treasures. Annie B. just goes along with it, and she makes up stories to tell Rew.

     "Little Brothers" is also from a TV show, I believe it's the episode of Phineas and Ferb, when they
get sent away to Boot Camp. Anyways, it relates to the book because, when Andrew Snow (their dad), escapes from prison, Rew looks worried when he is holding Annie B. in a chokehold. I mean, yes I know that he's practically killing her, but I think  it was still sincere. Also, in the song Candace sings even though you break my toys you are still my little brother. Or something like that. This relates to Annie and Rew because, Rew is always beating Annie in chess and vice versa with Gin Rummy. They get mad at each other and say like you cheated or this is all by luck. But, even though they are mad and sore losers, they always end up making up, because it's Annie's brother. Also, Rew is always interrupting Annie's stories. So back to square one, no matter how much Rew gets on Annie's nerves, she still loves him.

      "I Can Only Imagine" relates to this book because, Annie is always imagining what her dad is like. She always thought her dad was dead because, her grandma always told her so. She would always like to think of her dad as a pirate, secret agent, and I believe a pilot. She "can only imagine" because, well she could only guess as to know what her dad's occupation is. Although, this is a Christian song and it talks about only imagining what God's presence will be like, it really does go along with the book. Annie can only imagine as to what it will feel for her father to pick her up from school, or for her wedding and her dad isn't there.
