Amelia has been carrying around her sister-shaped hole for three years, and on the first day of 8th grade, she received a letter from her 6th grade sister filled with all her 8th grade goals.

The list was a great starter for Ameila's healing process, but it was the support of her friends and family that really helped her process all her emotions. I cried a bunch, and there were some really beautiful moments towards the end that really stood out for me.

Songwriters are artists whose canvass is sound and whose colors and textures come from things that make sound, including vocal chords. A painting needn’t have any point or meaning other than its beauty; the same is true of a song. Sometimes the meaning lies in nothing more profound than a colorful drum fill, a wailing guitar riff, a perplexing patch of pompous prose, or even in something as simple as the whistling of a milkman.Spizer, Bruce (2004).

Because of the airplay, and resulting sales, in Los Angeles, "From Me to You" made the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart for three weeks, peaking at number 116 on 10 August, the same time the single peaked in Los Angeles. [15] It was the first time the Beatles appeared on a national chart in Billboard.

From Me to You" was the first Beatles song to reach number one in the UK and is widely considered to be their first chart-topping song, for although "Please Please Me" reached the summit on almost every chart, it was only number two on Record Retailer 's chart, generally considered to be the most authoritative for the time. "From Me to You" would be the first of eleven consecutive British number one singles by the Beatles.

Amelia lives in a utopia, never much change, her town always stays the same. In the book From You To Me, by K.A. Holt, Amelia struggles to handle just a little bit of change, but unfortunately her older sister Clara then passed away, and it changed her life forever. I love the beginning of the setting in the book, the author explained her town almost as boring gloomy, similar to the way that she was feeling during that time. Throughout the book, Amelia’s character in this book develops tremendously and changes for the better. This book has a very deep theme, I think that the theme is about learning to let go, and learning to move on. In this book, the character Amelia overcame such an important conflict, and her emotions throughout the book truly draw the reader in. I would definitely recommend this book to others. K.A. Holt used a style of writing almost similar to a journal or diary, almost like the person is telling you about their story. It’s in a very informal writing format, similar to many of the other books that I read over the summer. The author’s diction throughout the book caused the reader to be drawn in and the use of figurative language caused the reader to have a better understanding of the emotions that the author was trying to express. Before that interview, Lennon had stated, "We nearly didn't record it because we thought it was too bluesy at first, but when we'd finished it and George Martin had scored it with harmonica, it was alright." [ citation needed] When asked if the pain of losing someone will ever feel better, Mrs. Grant answers: "The pain will lesson over time. I promise. But it will always be with you. This grief is part of you now, Amelia. It's the thread that quilts together every other part of your life....I can't promise it will get better, but I can promise it will be different over time." Grief and loss books are like my niche, and this one was really sweet, touching, and lovely. Holt touches upon many of those feelings many people, who have lost a loved one suddenly tend to struggle with. Amelia also struggled with being viewed as the girl-with-the-dead-sister. She knew she would always carry some pain inside her, but she wanted people to talk to her and treat her normally. At the time in the UK there was three different charts. The “Record Retailer” chart, which was compiled for the trade paper of the UK music industry. Plus the two national music papers, “New Music Express” and “Melody Maker” ran their own charts – with the NME chart being the most widely recognised.

She wants to do the right thing, but often fails. She wants to be a good friend and sometimes fails. She’s flawed and lovable at the same time, as are her friends.

From Me to You" featured Lennon playing harmonica in a Jimmy Reed-inspired blues style he had learned from Delbert McClinton, another American who was on the same bill with the Beatles in the early Sixties. "It's chiseled in stone now that I taught Lennon how to play harmonica," McClinton said. "John said, 'Show me something.' I was in a pretty unique position, because there just weren't a lot of people playing harmonica in popular music." [9]
