She said that she is a outsider. She claims this because her old friends all went different ways in high school, so she did not have any friends when she started. So why did she not have a group as well? I think what I am reading does make sense over all. It says many times that Melinda/the girl that the book is about has no friend so there for she is an “outsider”. I’m still wondering 100 pages in why she is the outsider in the school?  ]]> 2019-06-16 22:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367806960 22068551 https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367807067 One connecting thing from the book to my life is when Heather left Melinda for the Martha's. A simular thing happened to me in Florida when my best friend decided that she like another girl better. Then me so she stoped talking and associating with me.  ]]> 2019-06-16 22:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367807067 22068551 https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808158 Something that I can infer about the book is that melinda has a secret that she is to scared to let out. ]]> 2019-06-16 22:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808158 22068551 https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808281 I can easily visualize when they are making thanksgiving dinner because there is good detail in the writing. There are many adjectives so that you can visualize it with out even thinking about it. ]]> 2019-06-16 22:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808281 22068551 https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808444 After the worst summer ever, Melinda starts high school as a "mute". She had many problems with friends, school, and family. This book is kinda like her journal and its the only places that she feels safe enough to tell what happened.]]> 2019-06-16 22:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808444 22068551 https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808536 Melinda changed when she went into high school. Her and her best friend (Rachel) at the time went to a highschool party over the summer. Melinda had a couple of beers and went outside to get some fresh air, when she did a sinoir came up and started to flirt with her. Long story short she was raped and called the cops. Everyone thought it was because she was a uncool and annoying freshman but that was not the case. She did not tell anyone what happened.(136) Her mom noticed the change in her summer from 8th grade to 9th grade. Her grades and just the way that she acted had changed.(114)]]> 2019-06-16 22:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808536 22068551 https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808590 Finding your voice is the theme.She was a victim of rape but she was scared to speak up and tell someone so she chose to go "mute". ]]> 2019-06-16 22:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808590 22068551 https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808623 There was many events that happened in the book to create the plot. The main plot of this book is struggling in high school and just life in general. ]]> 2019-06-16 22:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808623 22068551 https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808692 In speak the author wrote from Meldendas point of view so its a 1st person point of view. ]]> 2019-06-16 22:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808692 22068551 https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808748 My opinion of this book is good. This is definitely a book that could very easily be real, and is real. After reading it, I am more aware of my surroundings. My mom has talked to me about it and it happened to her but putting it in the prefective of someone my age makes think more about it. I think that everyone should read this book so that they know they are not alone and they should tell someone or get help.]]> 2019-06-16 22:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/22068551/dea869gioqj8/wish/367808748
