My musical composition was based on the part in To Kill a Mockingbird when jury declares that Tom Robinson is guilty and how Jem and Scout felt during that time. “I shut my eyes.

When the jury first walks in‚ Scout feels hopeful‚ but also partially guesses what was about to happen‚ which is that exact opposite of what she wanted to happen. So at the beginning of the piece it has a slightly hopeful air to it

S.A. Bodeen’s Shipwreck Island and Johann David Wyss’ Swiss Family Robinson are different books‚ but they do have very certain similarities. One book is about a family that values their relationships‚ especially with God. These values become even more important as they are stuck on a desert island.
