Reese & Wiktoria Creative Project

Songs: Max getting Grace pregnant………………………………………………..….Body (Jordan Suaste) Reasons: Wiktoria--“Body, I'm more than my body”, “I'm not a toy to play with”, these are two lines from this song that tell a sad story. Maybe or maybe not Max used Grace for her body, but he should've known that this could go in a wrong direction; pregnancy. Max just left Grace when he found out she was pregnant, he acted like she was nobody, a stranger. Grace and Rafe figuring out relationship……...…We don’t have to take our clothes off (Ella Eyre) Reasons: Wiktoria-- After what happened with Max, Grace didn't really want a relationship or really have anything to do with a boy, she was afraid that they were just going to do the same things as Max. Rafe is really nice to Grace, he listens to her, makes her laugh and is always there for her to support her; because of that Grace thinks that Rafe wants to be more than just friends. “We Don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time, oh no.” is a line from the song, and that's what kind of Rafe is trying to explain to Grace. Rafe keeps on telling Grace that he just wants to be friends so she is not alone. They can have fun without taking off their clothes. Grace and Maya comforting Joaquin after he tells about Natalie…….....Lean on Me (Bill Withers) Reasons: Reese-- The first lyrics of the song “sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow. But if we are wise, we know that there’s always tomorrow”. This is part of the message Grace and Maya are giving Joaquin when he is having pain about past events in his foster homes. They’re telling him that they have each other no matter what and will move forward together. The song also says “Lean on me, when you’re not strong and I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on” and “If there is a load you have to bear that you can’t carry I’m right up the road. I'll share your load if you just call me.” This really is part of their story because Joaquin has so much trouble letting other people love him and help him, like Birdie, Mark, and Linda. Joaquin always wants to burden only himself and Maya and Grace are saying to just lean on them and they will help him through it-- he does not have to carry his load alone. They let him cry with them and they move forward together as siblings through love. Joaquin and Birdie……………………………………………………..Not over you (Gavin DeGraw) Reasons: Wiktoria-- “If you ask me how i'm doing I would say i'm doing just fine, I would lie and say that you're not on my mind.” Joaquin loves Birdie so much that he had to let her go, he couldn't stop her from doing great things in life. He will always think about her but he just had to leave her. “No matter what I say, I'm not over you.” Grace giving up Peach…………………………………………………………....…..Heal (Tom Odell) Reasons: Wiktoria-- “And heal, heal, heal, heal” After Grace gave away Peach to her new family she was in pain. “Take my mind and take my pain” She just wanted to stay in her room, and forget about everything. She was scared she made the wrong decision, she was worried that maybe Peach will have to go through the same things like Joaquin did. Joaquin and his past……………………...…..……..……..You Will Be Found (Dear Evan Hansen) Reasons: Reese-- Joaquin’s past has been filled with so much pain. He was given up by his birth mom, and bounced from foster home to foster home his whole life. He has always felt untethered and unattached to anything, and even feels like there is nobody that cares or should care about him. The first lyrics of this song really speak to that part of him: “Have you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten and in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear? Like you could fall, and no one would hear?” But this song also gives a side of hope. When Joaquin finds his two long lost siblings and they go on this emotional journey together, he learns that there are people who can care for you and they love you no matter what. Like the song says “Well, let that lonely feeling wash away, maybe there’s a reason to believe you’ll be okay. ‘Cause when you don’t feel strong enough to stand, you can reach, reach out your hand....you will be found” This whole Book Joaquin is learning to let himself be found and to reach out that hand, to let Mark and Linda, his foster parents, adopt him. To let Birdie share his load and be found. Maya and Claire……...………..Walking A Tightrope (The Greatest Showman- Michelle Williams) Reasons: Reese-- “Hand in my hand and we promised to never let go, we’re walking a tightrope, high in the sky we can see the whole world down below. We’re walking the tightrope. Never sure, never know how far we could fall. But it’s all an adventure” This describes Maya and Claire’s relationship because they are always on this scary balance so high up, with so much potential to fall. And when they have their fight they do fall, and neither catches the other: “Never sure, will you catch me if I should fall”. There seems to be a lot between them, they used to adventure forth but after breaking up it seemed all a dream. Grace and Maya telling Joaquin about Family………………….If the world was ending (JP Saxe) Reasons: Wiktoria-- “The sky’d be falling and i’d hold you tight” Joaquin didn't really know what a family was, he didn't know how it felt to be loved, because he never had a family. Maya and Grace told him that whatever happened they will always be a family and that will never change. Joaquin, Mark, and Linda………………………………………….....I will wait (Mumford and Sons) Reasons: Reese-- “Well I came home like a stone and I fell heavy into your arms. These days of dust which we’ve known will blow away with this new sun”. Joaquin thinks that this family will not last, just like all of his others. It feels only temporary to him and he feels like the stone (Joaquin) will be too heavy for his foster parents to carry and they will just pass him on. But Mark and Linda love Joaquin and they repeatedly ask him to trust them, to let the adopt him. Even when Joaquin says no they don’t let him go they just say: “I will wait, I will wait for you. And I will wait, I will wait for you. And I will wait, I will wait for you. And I will wait, I will wait for you.” Over and over again, until he finally does. Siblings fighting……………..………………...Wouldn’t Change A Thing (Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas) Reasons: Reese-- The siblings fight a lot, and the line from this song “you, me, we’re face to face but we don’t see eye to eye” represents a lot of their fighting moments. There is Grace, who is worried that Joaquin and Maya will be mad at her for giving up Peach when she is upset as well. There is Maya who gets mad at Joaquin for trying to bail out on them and always insisting he carry all the burdens. There is Joaquin who is mad at himself while the others are trying to show him he is ok and it was a mistake but he can move forward. But at the same time, they “wouldn’t change a thing” because they come together after all their hardships and still have each other no matter what.
