Post 2 - Connection 1

After thinking about how to connect this short story to something, a song popped into my head. It took me a minute to think about but I realized that the song actually does relate to the short story. The song is a Grammy award-winning song from 1992 called "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men. The song itself is about the singer and someone they were involved with being at the "end of the road" of their relationship, and how it's unnatural for them to be apart. It's mainly the chorus that relates to the short story because the rest of the song is just the guy talking to his girl about how much he still loves her, which obviously doesn't relate to the short story. The first two lines of the chorus goes "Although we've come to the end of the road, still I can't let you go". This is basically the state of mind that the protagonist was in when her parents told her that she could no longer hang out with her best friend. Due to the fact the protagonist raged at her parents, broke a remote control, and ran to look at Selam's house every opportunity she got, it's clear that she was in no way able to let go of her best friend. The next line of the chorus goes "It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you". This also was probably was going through the protagonist's head because they were in every way designed to be happy while around each other. Best friend's don't come around very often, especially really good ones like Selam, so as such they find it unnatural to be around anyone else but each other.
Anyone who read this blog entry and also sees the connection, I just have to say good for you. Anyone who actually knows the song, you're awesome. Thanks.
