The reason why i hose 15 by Taylor Swift is because Maria can relate to her in some tyoe of ways. For example when she sings " Try and stay out of everybodys way its your freshman year and you're gonna be here for the next four years in this town ", she isn't in highschool but she did just get to america and in the story Maria doesn't want to be mean to others even thou Bernardo says why should she if they don't like her. Then there's also the part when Taylor sings " Cause when youre fifteen and somebody tells you they love you you're gonna believe them and when you're fifteen feeling like there nothing to figure out ", Maria can relate to this because she believes Tony when he tells her all those sweet things and the only thing that matters to both of them is eachother and they don't really stress over what might seperate them , until they HAVE to figure something out that there is something thats seperating them. The theres this part that Taylor sings that reminds me of Maria and Bernardos girl because they become close in the story aswell as the girl that Taylor sings about and the other girl Abigail, " You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail and soon enough youre best friends laughing at the other girls who think theyre so cool ". Another part that reminds me of Maria is when Taylor sings, " and then youre on your very first date and hes got a car and youre feeling like flying and youre momas waiting up and you think hes the one and youre dancing round your room when the night end when the night ends " , because when Maria met Tony at the party she had attended she did feel something right away for Tony and that feeling stood there throughout the whole night. The last part that pretty much leads up to what we're reading in the book now is when she sings, " When all you wanted was to be wanted wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now , Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday but I realized some bigger dreams of mine and Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind and we both cried " , Maria can relate to this because she wanted Tony who made her have the onliest feelings , but then when he went to go stop the fight everything changed even his mentality because he wanted to go hand himself in for killing Maria's brother , and that ended Maria up in tears like Taylor states in her song. Theres alot of ways maria can relate to this song, maybe not exact same words or phrases but she can that's why 15 by Taylor Swift would be a good song for the West Side Story Soundtrack.
