A Mozart's Requiem



     Mia keeps struggling with either "staying" in this state or moving on and has a life with Adam. One of the problems is that she doesn't know how to wake up or simply die. She is already giving up, and realizes why at this point living is harder than dying.  One of her incentives is already gone, Teddy died, she knows it, her little brother is dead. Mia and Teddy have a ten-year age difference, making Teddy 7 when he died. Mia said that he was the one that had to live or at least have the chance to do so. But as well as she means, probably Teddy needs to be with his parents much more, cause ha cannot take care of himself, Mia can.

"Amazing things happen when you stop hiding behind that hulking beast."138
This part of the dialogue Mia has with one of her camp friends was touchy, not only because I as well play the cello but because it is true that when someone takes their mask off sometimes there has been someone beautiful hiding behind. This is one of the most important lessons of life because life is all about discovering yourself, and they say you never finish learning who you are, but many people hide what they are. I don't know why is that because, Why hide something beautiful? In my believe this is part of what must be tough to the early generations, respect, not only to the elderly or to the planet (which is also very important), but to themselves. Teach them that if they don't respect themselves there is nobody that will respect them back!


"I'd want a Mozart's Requiem" 172
To better explain why this quote had a big impact on me I have to tell bit a story, I play the cello and my teacher once told us about this composition, she sang it at school (in Latin as well) but with so many practices she became depressed and some kind of enchanted, she drew this dark things, etc. The point is that I was taunted with this story, and when I read this book I started to read about this composition. The story is basically how he started writing this Requiem, a Requiem is a mass for the death. Mozart started writing it but he never actually finished, yet he died before he could. One of his appendices finished it for him. Mia wanted this composition to be played at her funeral, not because of the mystery it all brought but because apart of its story it is a beautiful song. While she was thinking about how her ;parents told her she wanted to die, she also thought of how she wouldn't be able to complete their wishes, her parents wanted to die together, (which they did) but they also wanted Mia to play in their funeral. Many of the things she wanted to do she wouldn't be able to do if she didn't made it but that is not one of her bigger worries.
