#tollgvms I believe Melinda was sexually assaulted because she had sex and she was pushing her head away, a sign that means no, & she was drunk & drunk people can not give consent. "I push my head away"(Anderson 135). "Another beer & 1 more, then I worried I would throw up"(135)
@DiegoEFSUSD You are right, but I would also include that people are taking in your info more for the listening to understand. Also not always is someone going to oppose a response, sometimes people agree with other people and that is why they reply.
#tollgvms There is a big difference between listen to answer and listening to understand, when u r listening 2 understand u r taking in all the info. When you are listening 2 reply you do not take in all the info and you rush ur response.
#tollgvms Mr. Freeman is like Melinda, they r both going through something which is giving them a hardtime2come up with something good in art."He mostly sits on his stool & stares at a new canvas"(Anderson103)."The paint cooled my hands, but did nothing for my tree"(Anderson103).
#tollgvms Melinda's parents did not hand this situation correctly at all, instead they acted like they didn't really care that much and she was being really stupid. They should have comforted her and asked her what was wrong.
#tollgvms Parents should be open about their issues they are facing because their kids diverse to know. Also some day the kids r going to find out & they r going to be mad that their parents did not tell them.
#tollgvms America should have open boarders because when the Europeans came over & started the American society that we know today, they were groups of immigrants. Some people also need fresh starts & they can if they start somewhere new & if the boarders r closed it is hard.
#tollgvms Maya Angelou relates to Melinda because, like Melinda Maya was raped and was deeply depressed after that. Melinda has a hard time talking to people like Maya did. Melinda put Maya on her mirror because she relates to her.
A8 #tollgvms Some signs that Melinda is struggling r, biting her lip, having trouble speaking, shy, lonely. I think people don't see when someone is struggling because people care about themselves and have to worry about their own problems and do not have time 2 worry for others
A7 #tollgvms The song is like the book speak because people are mad at Melinda and she is very depressed and she feels terrible about what happened to her, she wants people to understand her without her saying anything.
A6 #tollgvms I think she does not want to speak up and get pity from others and get lots of attention I think this is why because this is how I would feel and what I would do.
A4 #tollgvms Some reasons why Rachel ended are because they do not want to be an outcast, wants to have lots of friends, and wants to be happy when Melinda is sad. This is just a lack of communication because if she knew the reason Melinda was like this then maybe they be friend https://t.co/dLzHxfrsu5
