Daddys little girl.


Daddy's Little girl, a song written and sung by Frankie j. Frankie J is a Mexican singer. This song is about a young girl basically saying daddy don't leave . She gives her father many reasons not to leave, does all she can but, the problems at home drove him away. The little girl is showing in this song how much she loves her father, how much she needs him.The little girl knows that in reality that her father wont come back. It breaks her little heart into pieces. That song is emotionally a stroll on me, I was daddy's little girl now I am just Edna. "DADDY DADDY DON'T LEAVE MOMMY'S SAYING THINGS SHE DON'T MEAN" I was in the same place as this girl, not to long ago. This song brings me back to a unhappy place. It makes me remember how much I really do miss and love my father but, than i remember my dad is not coming back through those doors again. Every time i listen to this song it brings to a place of hurt, emptiness, loneliness. Grasping with the idea of my family being broken, and my father not being in the picture is something I don't think I will ever grasp fully. I said all, did it all and tried everything! I know that my father isn't happy at home with my mother and i have to except that at some point in life. This song is significant in my life, it explains exactly how I feel and gives and idea of what I feel. would do anything to have my family puzzled back in one complete puzzle. I was daddy's little girl.

so much depends

So much depends upon the wet singing of the birds, so much depends on the beautiful blue sky, the tall trees, the dry leaves and grass on the ground. so much depends on the bird callings, the bright yellow, the beautiful blue sky.

does my head look big in this #3

As i keep reading this book i have learned that people can be so quick to judge on the "hijab". In the book i am reading Amal she is SO afraid to wear the hijab and what the school administration would say to her. And how her classmates would treat her! Amal would always be thinking are they gonna treat me diffrent . I think that part of the book was kinda of like are you kidding me... when i started to wear the scarf i was scared but not like Amal was in the book. Even though she went to a private prep school i think that anyone should be able to walk anywhere and not have to worry about what people are gonna say about what u are wearing or who u are etc...

does my head look big in this? #2

I am still reading 'Does my head look big in this? Lelia's mom says something really relevant right know in many peoples lives " Amal a good girl" Leila's mom says darting a look at Yasmeen. she wear hijab she good girl" pg .113. Abdel-Fattah. This quote is significant because right know in the Muslim community many young girls choose not to wear the hijab. In the Muslim religion it states that a girl must wear the hijab as soon as she starts her first menstrual cycle. Most young girls do and the ones who don't usually get maid fun of and harassed and in our religion it says a day of not wearing the hijab is walking around naked for a day. So Lelia's mom is saying to Yasmeen that it is important for her to wear her hijab and shows her loyalty to her religion and her how much her faith means to.. it also shows her purity and her morals and values!

does my head loo big in this? #1

As i was reading Does My Head Look Big In This? I learned that it is a very difficult for some Muslims to make the decision of wearing the scarf. For me when i decided to wear the scarf i was in the 6Th grade. It wasn't that hard because it was choice and i went to a school where i know i really wouldn't be teased that much about it! In the book Amal decides to start wearing the hijab in the middle of high school and she goes to a private prep school.. It took her a very long time for her to realize that she could where the hijab. I t wasn't a matter of her realizing if she could wear it or not it was the time she realized she wanted to embrace it and be like the other Muslims.
