Theme: Not giving up Theme Song: "White Flag" by Dido [] I chose the song "White Flag" by Dido for my theme song of //Water for Elephants// because I think that it showed Jacob's attitude toward Marlena and his life in general. He was having a hard time while living with the circus but he didn't give up, he kept fighting and stuck to his senses and ended up with a great life afterwards. He prroved that terrible things can happen to you and the most important thing is to never give up and keep fighting.

Scene: Stampede Scene song: "Stars and Stripes Forever"(score) [|http://www.scoutsongs.com/lyrics/starsandstripesforever.html] I chose "Stars and Stripes Forever" for my stampede scene song because in the circus that Jacob was working on they use the song "Stars and Stripes Forever" as a warning song to let the workers of the circus know that something has gone terribly wrong. In the book they say that during the stampede they play the song so it seemed only fitting to keep it that way. I'm only using the score of the song because the music itself is what inflicts the most emotion during the scene.

Character: Jacob Jankowski Character Song: "Realize" by Colbie Calliat [] I chose "Realize" by Colbie Calliat for my character song because it shows how Jacob realizes that he loves Marlena and knows that she is with August but still wants her to choose him. He wants her to realize that she loves him too and then they could be together.
