Click to listen to the song.
The song above is called "Cordoba", composed by Isaac Alberiz and played by Dmitri Paperno. The song starts off slow and somewhat timid, which reminds me of how Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman's bond with Lava began. At first, he really doesn't want anything to do with Lava because having a pet in the military is against the rules. Kopelman thinks that Lava will eventually die, so there's no reason to get attached to him unless you want to get upset and distracted. According to Kopelman, Marines should be focused and not distracted by raising a puppy, no matter how cute he is.
The song eventually speeds up and gets slightly louder, which is similar to how quickly Lava grows on Kopelman. He finds it hard to deny Lava when he's always playing with his boots and sleeping in his sleeping bag. Plus, Lava reminds him that he's human and keeps him from getting too emotionally detatched because of the war.
Hi Laurel! You weren't here today, so I'm blogging without you. I really like your blog so far. How much have you read in the book? I've finished mine and it was amazing! I think the song you chose for this book was really good and represents the mood of the book well. I like how it started off kinda dark but got a little bit lighter in the end. It was just like the book!
