          This is a song by Cristina Perri called Human. I chose this song to represent the social issue, loss, in my book. This is because I feel that this song reflects the feelings of the family after Elizabeth, the main character, dies. The lyrics, "I can fake a smile, I can force a laugh," reflect the show that the parents and her brother have to put on for others to cover their loss. When the lyrics, "I'm only human, And I bleed when I fall down, I'm only human, And I crash and I break down," play, I think about her parents breaking down and crying at her funeral.
