5. Warrior by Demi Lovato
Ky began to lose hope of ever finding his way to Cassia near the middle of the story when many obstacles came his way while on the mission of the Rising because they sent Cassia elsewhere on her mission trip. But he learned to keep hope, like I think Demi did when she wrote this song about her struggles.
4. Almost is Never Enough by Ariana Grande
Xander loved Cassia, and always loved her as his Match but Cassia fell out of love with him when Ky came along on her microcard after the Match Banquet, and she fell in love with Ky soon after. So they're nearly in love, but it's only 'almost' because Cassia doesn't love him as much as he loves her. And their relationship never works out because Almost is Never Enough.
3. Daydreamin' by Ariana Grande
When all of the people effected by the plague that went around Oria and Central, they were forced into small containment cells that were completely see-through of all four walls around, so I imagine that they were daydreaming of being in a better and happier place.
2. ET by Katy Perry
When Ky and Cassia were placed into cities nearly as far from each other as they could possibly be to finish their mission work, I'm sure they felt like they were from 'a whole other world, different dimension'.
1. Problem by Ariana Grande
Plain and simple, the gang has gone through many struggles throughout the story so far, and once they released that stress after completing some of their missions and taking down most of what was wrong with the Society they probably felt as if they had, "one less problem without them".

5. Most Important Line
In Reached by Ally Condie that I'm reading right now, the most important quote was, "You cannot change your journey if you are unwilling to move at all."
This quote was significant because even though it was an idea from Cassia (main character), it applies to all characters in the book and us as readers also. It relates to Cassia because she is struggling with stolen poems that she needed in order to 'trade her way' to Ky, and Ky cannot even reach Cassia if he doesn't carry out his duties with the Rising first. Xander, lastly, needs to continue mending his broken love with Cassia, because if he doesn't act swiftly she will already be gone and content in her love with Ky.
Most importantly, this quote relates to the readers and their lives I think because if we don't work, we can't change our futures, and in everyone's own special way they can relate that idea back to something they dream of for their life. This lesson gives the author a way to connect with the reader of the story, and gives Condie more credibility because she understands this concept. We want her to understand.

4. Symbolism
I am reading Reached by Ally Condie.
A symbol I would offer to Cassia is lone wolf because she is very independent in general, even though she is very attached to Ky, she still thinks and makes decisions for herself. For instance, when The Rising came along, Ky did not want to join because his father was in it before he died and he was still bitter towards his dad for not protecting as many people throughout it as he should have. And yet, Cassia still chose to join whether Ky would or not.
I would symbolize Ky as a functioning broken heart because although his heart is shattered at times knowing that he may not find Cassia anytime soon or as soon as he'd like, he can still function along the way to get work done. But, once he finds Cassia, nothing else in the world matters anymore: people, their safety, his friends: none of it. Finding Cassia is all that truly matters to him.
I would symbolize Xander as a fish, because he keeps on swimming and swimming and swimming but can't ever seem to get to Cassia as much as Ky. It hurts him, but he never stops swimming because he feels like the top is close than it truly is.
