One Way or Another

The song One Way or Another inspires me to have hope and believe that one day I'll meet my idols. The lyrics don't need to be looked at closer, because it says all the things specifically. It shows that I am determined to meet them and that I'll go through thick and thin just to have the chance.

One way or another, I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha

This part shows my want to meet my idols. This is the introduction.

One way or another, I'm gonna see ya
I'm meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week,
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha

Zayn's solo here displays my determination. At the last line, meeting them turns from a hope to a will-do.

And I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all out
I'll see who's around

Niall's solo says that I'm willing to do anything [ like drive past their house ] to meet them.

Louis:

Let's Go!

Liam:

One way or another, I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha

Louis:

One way or another, I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha  I'll meetcha

This "LiLo" part, or the chorus shows again how much I want to meet my idols. You can see the transition from a want to a need.

And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out

This part here also sends the same message as Niall's solo earlier. I am willing to do crazy things to meet my idols. My entire fandom is.

The rest of the song basically says the same thing. One way or another, I am going to meet my idols.

One Way or Another (Original Version by Blondie)

Mockingjay

In Mockingjay, we learn that Katniss acts on impulse and the things she does are selfless. She goes through many deaths in her life and always finds a way to avenge it. Katniss does all this impulsively. She doesn't value feelings, but she values survival. But to herself, she's not the top priority. It's the people around her like her family, her friends, and the members of her community.

One example would be when Katniss becomes the Mockingjay in exchange for the immunity of her loved ones. At first, she refuses to take that position in the rebellion, but later, she sees how everyone scorns the tributes that were captured by the Capitol. Katniss fears that they'll only be freed from there, to come to District 13 and be tortured. So she becomes the Mockingjay by convincing President Coin into her terms and conditions. This shows that Katniss does things for others, even if it means taking a risk.

Another example would be when she unexpectedly shoots and kills President Coin instead of President Snow. She was supposed to do the honors of killing Snow, because of his inhuman crimes against Panem. But she aimed her arrow at Coin because Coin took away the one thing she loved from the start. Her little sister, Prim. President Coin sent Prim to the Capitol warzone to help nurse people, when a bomb exploded there. The bomb killed many children including Prim. If you read the whole trilogy, you can see that the main reason Katniss does all the things she does is for her sister. Prim was originally supposed to be in the Hunger Games, but Katniss volunteered in her place to protect her. So now, since Coin killed Prim, Katniss takes her anger out and shoots her. But she doesn't know why at first. Here again returning to the fact that she acts impulsively. Katniss always takes risks for her loved ones.

So everytime Katniss does something, like even sharing goat cheese, she's doing it for the sake of others. This is why she's so great. She won't go down without a fight. Katniss always listens to her heart before her mind.

Ali's Pretty Little Lies

The book Ali's Pretty Little Lies is a special addition book to the series by Sara Shepard, Pretty Little Liars. It pretty much explains Alison DiLaurentis's death and disappearance. The narrator seems deluded and creepy. It must be the infamous -A. The story starts off as a typical story. Two twin girls being besties. But all of a sudden, there's a sweet but bitter twist. One twin becomes more popular than the other, so there's some jealousy. The two girls start fighting. One threatens the other into doing horrible things. And at one point, frames Courtney into being a paranoid schizophrenic. So Courtney DiLaurentis is sent away to a mental hospital. Meanwhile, the evil twin sister, Alison DiLaurentis lives life to the fullest. She's the most prettiest, most popular girl, wherever she goes. But I think that Alison is really the mental one.

Three years later, Courtney comes to visit her family. But a switch happens, and she manages to trick her family into thinking she's Alison. Meanwhile, the real Alison gets taken back to the mental hospital. I think that Alison did deserve to go to the sanitarium in place of Courtney, Alison accused her innocent sister of doing horrible things and made her life miserable.

And that day, Courtney (pretending to be Alison), finds four girls outside her fence. They basically saved her from going back to the mental hospital. The girls' names are Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily. The five become the best of friends, taking over the school on queen bee status. Everyone envied the four girls Courtney picked up. But no one, not even Spencer, Emily, Hanna, and Aria, know "Alison's" deepest darkest secret. She has a twin sister that is the real Alison DiLaurentis. But Courtney knows all the girls' secrets. And she can manipulate them with it. But I think when Courtney does, that she becomes more like her sister. Alison would more likely do cruel things such as manipulating people. That's what she did with Courtney. At this point, I think that Courtney is really taking the advantage of living her twin's life.

As time goes on, the Courtney feuds with many people, Alison among all of them. So at the end of seventh grade, Courtney has a sleepover with her besties. But at that time, Alison is visiting from the mental hospital. She spies on the girls and then when Courtney and Spencer have a fight, and Courtney leaves the barn, Alison follows and kills her own sister. This clearly shows that Ali is the mental. She's a thirteen year old killer. And she didn't kill just anyone. It's her own twin sister. The reason Alison killed Courtney is very petty. It's because Courtney was more popular and stole her life. But really Alison caused it. She's the one who ruined Courtney by falsely accusing her of things.

Wanted - PLL Book 8 #SPOILERALERT

In Wanted, the 8th PLL Book, we experience a huge plot twist. We are introduced to someone else that basically fools the liars. In the end they realize that it all is too good to be true. The thing the story tells us is if we just look a little more carefully, we can find what we're looking for. In this case, the liars don't look that close. The excuse covers the truth which is right in front of their eyes.

You're probably confused about whatever I'm talking about. But the only way that I can clear things up is with SPOILER ALERT. The book has a huge plot twist. Don't say that I didn't warn you, but Alison has twin sister. She's kept a secret by the entire DiLaurentis family, until they decide to introduce her to Rosewood. Courtney DiLaurentis looks just like Ali. The same heart-shaped face and cerulean blue eyes. And it turns out that Courtney is a recovered mental patient. But now, she can go to a regular school. And it turns out that she's just like Ali. Her personality... her everything. Almost as if she is Ali.

Courtney is easily popular and flirtatious. Just like her sister, everyone wants to be her. All of the girls, even the older ones. All boys want to date her. All parents could not have seen a more perfect child. It seems as if Courtney could easily become the new Alison. Or she could be the original.

When the Courtney finds the girls at their weakest points, she reveals her true self. Courtney is the REAL Alison DiLaurentis. The dead one is Courtney.

Now the Liars have their old BFF back. All the puzzle pieces seem too fit together now, right? Even -A is backing off. Or is she? Resuming to the theme, doesn't it all seem perfect? But we all now that life isn't like that. Especially not in Rosewood. But everything was fine, ever since Alison came back.

In the end, the girls were proven wrong. Alison tries to kill them. And guess who -A is.

Let's look over the details. How did -A stop the texts? And how is this everything better when Alison appears again. It's very dodgy.

But in the end, they all realized that the picture perfect Rosewood is all too good to be true.
