Adam's Song

Adam's Song by Blink 182 perfectly fits with The Bell Jar.  It starts off with these lines that relate perfectly to what Esther is facing in this story.
"Too depressed, to go on
You'll be sorry, when I'm gone."

The struggle and roller coaster ride that Esther takes emotionally through out this book is quite heavy on me as a reader to listen to the awful, painful thoughts she has.  The song "Adam's Song" has to do with a struggling teenager who is trying so hard to break out of this bottomless depression just how Esther does in the book.  Some days she starts to get better and then others she gets worse then ever.  For anyone that reads this book and might have thoughts that are relatable to those of Esther, I do not think The Bell Jar is a good choice because it is a dark memoir almost about the author herself, who does not end up well after this book was written. Overall, both the book and the song are about the tough mental ride someone took and the need of the person affected, to break out of it.
