Melinda was once a live healthy growing tree and then started to die out and lose its leaves. She is trying to go back to the old her and she cant. Mr. Freeman gave her this tree to draw and it perfectly represents her soul. "A child's drawing. I can't bring it to life." Which goes along to how it describes her.  ]]> 2017-10-16 15:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197420054 203384 https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197432425 The nail polish is just like what Melinda has changed in Heather's life . It's a permanent stain in Heather ever since the incident with Melinda. Melinda had spilled Heather's nail polish in her nice and neat room on her carpet. The nail polish and stain is Melinda while Heather is the clean carpet, Melinda had affected Heather's life. Later on in the book she ends up leaving Melinda.]]> 2017-10-16 16:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197432425 203384 https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197610256 Melinda's lips are another reason to why people may not want to be around her. It also goes to add onto how she is depressed, she messed up her lips due to it. They are all bloody and scarred and it kind of represents her more. "I can't stop biting my lips. It looks like my mouth belongs to someone else, someone I don't even know." It may also be from her just being nervous.]]> 2017-10-17 00:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197610256 203384 https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197611246 When Melinda was in the janitors closet she couldn't even look at herself in the mirror which is  to why she covered it with a poster. "I get out of bed and take down the mirror. I put it in the back of my closet, facing the wall." This has occurred ever since the incident with Andy Evans. It caused her to be depressed and lose her friends. ]]> 2017-10-17 00:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197611246 203384 https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197612849 Melinda has a pretty bad relationship with her parents. They have to pass notes just to communicate. This goes to show how bad it is, they don't really get along well and Melinda gets yelled at for doing bad in school. Also because they don't get along well and don't talk, her parents don't even know what happened between Andy Evens and Melinda. ]]> 2017-10-17 01:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197612849 203384 https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197613831 Melinda gets a lot of nostalgia thoughts  whenever she sees blood because it reminds her of her incident with Andy Evans. Blood also represents her style you could say. She cuts herself a lot and doesn't mind it besides the fact it brings back the memory of Andy Evans. "I open up a paper clip and scratch it across the inside of my left wrist." Her mom even thinks suicide is like a joke and doesn't bother to help Melinda.]]> 2017-10-17 01:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197613831 203384 https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197614550 Mr. Freeman helps Melinda in ways, but he also wants Melinda to see her own soul/herself. Melinda had a project to draw a tree and after a few drawings it already showed exactly how she is. *the tree represents her* The tree was pretty dead and plain which is how Melinda is. Mr. Freeman also helps her with other things other than finding herself. Such as trying to help her with her problems. (Andy Evens) Although he didn't know her actual problem he still tried to help her and he knew she had things to say.]]> 2017-10-17 01:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/203384/9wuxs3y3o5yh/wish/197614550
