ëThe Kite and it·s Stringµ by John Newton
has a kite symbolize the life of a sinner. It talks
about how too much freedom can not be good
for a person. The kite is so beautiful and everyone
loves it how it is up in the sky and flying. However,
the kite thinks that if it did not have its string then
the kite could fly much higher and go much
further. The kite wishes so badly that he could be
set free. However, everyone knows that if the kite
did not have its string then it would be nothing at
all. In the same sense, some people want to sin
and not follow God. They think that they are better
off without God. However, without God we are
nothing just like the kite is nothing without its string.

This whole song by Regina Spektor talks about
wanting freedom. One line in the song is "tell all the
people to be like the waterë. I think this line means that
she wants to remind people that they are like water, free.
People are the water under their own boat and they
control their own destiny. She also talks about how the
people around her do not believe that they are free and
are granted freedom. Regina tries to keep telling them
but they do not listen to her or hear her message. The
song has a very hopeful tune to it. It sounds as if she
keeps hoping that someday she·ll find her freedom and
so will the others around her.

I really enjoyed making this liberal arts
essay. My favorite part of it was the song
because I can really connect with music. It
was so hard to pick just one of each. I had
so many pictures that I wanted to use, so
many ideas for this. The poem I picked
really made me think, I had never really
thought that too much freedom could be
distributed but it made sense to me.
