Out of my mind by Sharon M Draper is about a girl named Melody who suffers from a birth defect that keeps her from the ability to walk, or talk but that doesn´t stop her, she always finds a new way to solve her problem. The only ones she can´t solve are the ones at school, she is bullied and not even the teachers want to help but Melody 
doesn´t care, she keeps something to school and proving everyone wrong.]]> 2019-02-28 20:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/336620412 25brisenoa1 https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/336623111 This is the author of my book and many others that she has put lots of thought and different perspectives in. She makes you think about what we should be grateful for and how there are some serious issues out there that we can help solve.]]> 2019-02-28 20:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/336623111 25brisenoa1 https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/336624317 The song Brave by Sara Bareilles shows that you need to be brave, and this is connects to Out of my mind because no matter what challenges you face in life, Melody proves to herself and all of her readers that we need to be brave in tough situations and whenever the going gets tough.

Melody´s wheelchair could have looked like, it has the controller and the rubber electronic wheels and the tray so that she can hold the machine that can talk for her. She can only get around with this thing this limits so many things for her but she manages to succeed in life and push past her limits and be brave.]]> 2019-02-28 21:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/336649575 25brisenoa1 https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/337425090 This camera represents Melody´s brain and how it functions. It´s like a camera when she sees something her brain takes a ¨Picture¨ of it and glues it into her brain forever. She never forgets anything. This is why Melody is so smart she can remember anything from when she first started walking to 5th grade now. Nobody is as smart as her and that is why Melody´s brain is a camera]]> 2019-03-04 12:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/337425090 25brisenoa1 https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/339338327 This right here what this girl is doing is what Melody wishes she could do everyday. She sees people talking in the hallways, at lunch, on the bus and in class. She wishes she can sing more than talk she wishes she could sing more than walk. She dreams about singing up on a stage in front of a crowd of millions but eventually she has to wake up and realize that she is still in a wheel chair speechless her whole life. ]]> 2019-03-08 15:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/339338327 25brisenoa1 https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/339341377 This is the only thing that even can get Melody close to talking. She presses a button and a machine speaks her words for her, and although it doesn´t come straight out of her mouth she is grateful for what she has. This is her only form of communication and it sounds like a robot. She is very happy she can "talk" but she just wishes it came out of her mouth. ]]> 2019-03-08 15:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/339341377 25brisenoa1 https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/339343857 This heart represents the love and Support from Melody's parents they support her in whatever she chooses to do and they understand when ever she tries to communicate and they understand whenever she is going through something.

Both stories also have stereotypes against the main character Gerald's is Giraffes can't dance and Melody's is disabled kids aren't smart, but also in both stories they prove their stereotype and do what the others can't. They are brave and they be themselves. ]]> 2019-03-11 17:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/340090855 25brisenoa1 https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/340095270 Melody has paralysis and this website tells you all about it and how people get it and how they have to deal with it ]]> 2019-03-11 17:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/25brisenoa1/1iam301pxm0q/wish/340095270
