Speak


         I think that Melinda thinks back on things too much to where she feels depressed about all the things she’s been through. I also think that she needs to take a chill pill and start talking to people, talk to a therapist, and get her problems out. That way she can get to know more people and find out what she needs to do. In her biology class, Melinda faints because of something that they are doing to the frogs. They pin the frogs arms and legs and it reminds her of when she was raped. She was pinned at the party. I think she really just needs to talk to someone about everything that happened and get it all out. I think that Heather the new girl will help her get the help she needs by going to the councilors about what has happened with her or something similar to that. One thing that I think that Heather will do is be her friend no matter what is going on with her. Even if Melinda starts cutting herself, Heather will be there for her. If Melinda and Heather stay friends for the rest of school then I believe that they will make it through all the challenges and changes in school.

i agree because she should not worry about the past and just worry about the future. she also needs to learn more about why they hate her alot other then the party thing

Melinda looms on the past, I agree. I don't agree with she needs to take a chill pill. For heavens sake she... never mind. I know what happens later in the book, but I do not want to give something away. I would have to say I disagree overall though.

Will i agree.With having Heather as a friend. She will help her with everything she needs help with.And with the therapist thing I don't know about that one. Sometime they don't have the right answers.

Taylor said...

don't get me wrong but i don't think we heard about what happened at the party yet. but i think your right about the whole she needs to get help and get to know new people and for get the past. I truly be live that heather will help her with that to.

Kyley said...

I agree with this. She definitely has been keeping this information in for way to long. She needs to talk to someone and get it out.

uriel said...

I agree. She needs to talk to other people so she can get her mind off things. Good job.

Nicole said...

she does think a lot about the past and sometimes when people go through that stuff thtas all they can think about.

David C said...

I think that she also thinks that she thinks about the past too much and what has happened to her and i think if she keeps thinking about it than it would keep her more scared. Great job on doing this paper. I also think that Heather can be a better friend with Melinda and be there for her for what she is going through. Great Job on the paper keep it up!!!!

Malinda does need to talk to someone!. shes going to go crazy if she doesnt. I think heather and melinda are good friends, they are there good for each other.

kugar said...

This same stuff i would say. I think that she needs to talk to her parrents and who ever has an impact in her life.

Tristen G said...

I agree with statement. Malinda does need to take a chill pill and stop cutting and being so ridiculous about her life. "They pin the frogs arms and legs and it reminds her of when she was raped," I think this is horrible, but she needs to talk about and get it over with. "That way she can get to know more people and find out what she needs to do," this line is a complete way in telling us the people what you think.

tim i think shes scared and maybe she does not need to take a chill pill. how can someone relax when they just got raped. yes, she does need to open up and tell someone but it's not that easy.
