Non-Classical Music for Ship Breaker

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_7baOCYg-Q&ob=av2n

    I chose to imbed the song, "I Made It" by the Cash Money Heroes.  This song is almost perfect for describing the different situations in Nailer's life.  He started out dreaming of being rich and owning a clipper ship, which are the fastest ships in the book.  Then, after a hurricane, he comes across one that was wrecked and finds only one survivor who just happened to be the daughter of a very rich family from a way better place.  This relates perfectly with the lyrics of the song.
    Nailer was born poor and lived on the beach in a little bamboo hut, but after his whole adventure, everything changes.  In the song, they talk about how they used to dream about where they are today, but now they made it.  Also, this is really ironic, Lil' Wayne says something about finding oil and getting rich, which actually happened to one of the characters in the beginning of the book.  Nailer's world is one in which resources are depleted so, finding oil would make him rich and he always dreamed of finding some "lucky strike."  Not only is this a good song, but it relates to the book in many ways.  Thanks for letting us choose a non-classical song for this blog because it really opened up the choices and I didn't really know many classical songs.
