This blog is in response to the correct homework assignment. The previous blog was supposed to be my personal thoughts, but I figured I may as well leave it up so I wouldn't forget them. I miss writing letters.
"Sing me to sleep, I'm tired and I want to go to bed" seems to me to be the words of someone asking for an escape. Because of the theme of death that has been introduced so prominently in the book thus far, it could mean to Charlie an escape from life. He may want the opportunity to simply get away, not necessarily die, and wants to take a "nap" to distance himself from everything that is troubling him. He may feel that this song enforces his desire, and likes to listen to it because he can relate to it. I could not blame someone as young as Charlie to want to not be woken up once he found the peaceful place he is looking for.
I also can understand him not wanting to "wake up alone anymore". He may feel small and alone with all of the events surrounding him, and he simply wants someone there with him. This song could possibly embody Charlie's emotions, so it is no wonder why he is attached to it so much.
