IF I STAY

Mia had everything: a loving family, a gorgeous, admiring boyfriend (Adam), and a bright future full of music and full of choices.

In an instant, almost all of that is taken from her. Caught between life and death, between a happy past and an unknowable future, Mia spends one critical day contemplating the only decision she has left. 

It is the most important decision she’ll ever make.

In 2014 they made a movie.

- Mia Hall, a 17-year old musician whose life is completely changed when her entire family is killed in a car crash, leaving her with one decision to make: whether to stay or slip away forever.

- Kat Hall, Mia's mother who has a passion for rock and roll music along with the rest of her family, somewhat hesitant about Mia's love for classical music. Kat is killed in a car crash, but is seen through flashbacks throughout the film.

- Willow is a friend 

- Kim Schein, Mia's inseparable best friend who helps set Mia up with Adam, despite her obvious disliking of him throughout the story.

- Adam Wilde, Mia's somewhat rebellious musician boyfriend, who sings for his band Shooting Star.

- Emt, is a friend 

- Denny Hall, Mia's father who takes a love of rock and roll with his wife, Kat, and son, Teddy and unlike his daughter, Mia. He is killed in the car crash but is seen through flash backs.

- Teddy Hall, Mia's little brother who she is very fond of. Mia worries constantly about 

Teddy through the book because it is unclear whether he is killed at first or not.

She made some tarts,

All on a summer's day;

And beat the knave full sore;

Brought back the tarts

And vowed he'd steal no more.

OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE

MEANING

Damn my luck I fall and I fall in frying pan into the fire.

I´m bad thing and I´m going to a worse thing

ORIGING

This phrase you can see in the book THE HOBBIT, but this is the origin:

In their frantic quest for a solution that would prevent them from being fried alive in the hot oil, one of them suggested to the rest that they could save their lives by jumping out of the frying. The other fish jumped at the idea and quickly jumped out of the frying pan in an attempt to save their lives, but upon taking this action, they instantly met their deaths as they fell directly into the burning coals upon which the frying pan was on and were roasted alive. The fish therefore literally jumped out of a bad situation into a far worse one that speedily killed them all.
