Year in Review Part 2:

1. The best song of 2013 is "Hit Me" by Mistikal, I choose this one as the my main choice because its a man talking about his color skin and that he is proud of it. The choice that attracted to this song is the lyrics of the song thats what attracted me to it. The song was the best of 2013 because it registered as the first great hip-pop single of 2013.

2. The best movie of 2013 would be "Mama", I choose this one as the main choice because its a good movie and I really liked it. The choice that attracted me to choose this movie was the previous that would come out in the Tv they looked really good and scary, well I like scary movies. This movie was the best of  2013 because it was a really good movie.

3. The most important story of the year of 2013 would be "Mandela Dies", I choose this one as my main choice because Nelson Mandela was the first president of Africa and after many years of living he dies. What attractive me the most of this story is that he was the first president of Africa and after many battles he dies. Is the best of 2013 because it was a shocking to everybody that Mandela died after loosing a battle.
