I think that Melody feels like she is stuck in a box all by herself and nobody is with her so they can't understand her and don't know what she wants. I think that the author wrote this book because so other people can know how people with diseases or special needs people feel. I think that you shouldn't judge someone until you know who they are and their life story because its only fair if you know there story before judging.

I think that so far, the girl in the book sounds like she has a disorder called cerebral palsy because she says she has a normal brain, but she can't control her muscle movements. I once knew a kid who had cerebral palsy, and she had the same symptoms as the girl in the story. Even though the girl in the story has a normal brain like you or me, it doesn't bother me personally if I see people with disabilities of some sort out in public because  I have a brother with autism.

It helps capture a reader's attention

by having Melody tell the story instead

of a narrator.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it would stink to live a life like Melody's. Although I do think she will be able to over come her disability

# data[].attributes.body
I think it makes you think about how well your life is. I think she will overcome her disabilities and talk on her own.

# data[].attributes.body
it captures there attention beacause you have to think about how she has all these disabilities that we dont have and she does like to talk or pick things up and .I think that Melody will be able to do all the things that she couldnt do

# data[].attributes.body
The probably author wrote this because she wanted to explain what its

like to have a disability and how difficult it can be.

# data[].attributes.body
I would hate living a life like Melody's because

she basically can't do anything. She can't even

talk! Nobody supports her except her family.

Hopefully she will overcome cerebral palsy

# data[].attributes.body
By opening the story talking about words, it immediately grabs the reader's attention because the reader will want to find out why this happens. The reader can make many different predictions based on what they know. At the beginning of the book, it talks about how Melody feels about words and it talks about her disabilities. From this information, the reader can infer that Melody is smart but unable to show it. The way Melody narrates reflects on her personality. She is very mature for her age, but she gets frustrated when she can't communicate what she wants to say. She also puts her thoughts out very bluntly. I think the author's purpose for writing this story was to share about how someone who is unable to speak or move much but is very smart, and to convey Melody's frustration and how it would feel to be unable to communicate. It also gives insight on the limitations that having cerebral palsy can have.

# data[].attributes.body
It helps capture the reader's attention because this story is sad and it pulles people in to hear about this girl's story. I makes them think, wow what if that was me, having all those troubles. The narrator of the story wants to help you understand what Melody is going through and to describe what goes on in a disabled persons life. I think the purpose for writing this book was to tell everyone Melody's story.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Melody will finally be able to talk. I would hate living like that because she can't do anything! I think she made this book to tell how hard it would be to live like that.

# data[].attributes.body
It helps the reader know what it is like being disabled and not to function right. They can make out that it is hard to be disabled.
