I believe that Melinda was raped. She was drunk so she could not give consent. If a guy has sex with a girl that doesn´t want to have sex that is rape.

#tollgvms Listening with intent and listening to reply are very different. Listening with intent is listening so that you can learn something or become more educated on a subject. Like listening to a video in school. Listening to reply is like being in an argument with somebody.

#tollgvms Mr. Freeman and Melinda are parallel characters because they are both going through hardships right now. Melinda has been depressed from the start of the year and Mr. Freeman´s depression has just started.

#tollgvms I believe that her parents should have done more. They should have a better talk about her cutting. They did not take it even close to as serious as they should have.

[Avi Kothari @AviKothari5]

#tollgvms I feel that parents should talk to their kids about these kinds of things. If kids are going through something hard it is good to talk to somebody about it.

#tollgvms I believe that America should have open borders and should let in everyone unless they are criminals. Everybody should be able to cross the border because America was founded by immigrants. We just need to not let anyone who is an ex con or wanted.

#tollgvms I believe that the author used her to cover the mirror because she got raped too and they both stopped talking or speaking. Maya Angelou is going to serve as an inspiration to Melinda. It will show Melinda that there is hope for her.

@BrianaDFSUSD The way that you looked at this was very interesting. I hadn't thought of the fact that people are too selfish to notice others.

@LarishaMFSUSD The signs that u used were really good

[Avi Kothari @AviKothari5]

#tollgvms Q8: The reason why we miss these signs is because we think that we know the people close too us and we don't think that these people in our life could be struggling. Some of these signs are being really quit and grades slipping.

@RileyAnneS1 This shows how Melinda does not have anyone to turn too in her life

[Avi Kothari @AviKothari5]

@SharqawiZaina This shows how the book and this song relate very well.

[Avi Kothari @AviKothari5]

#tollgvms a7: When the song says," The world couldn't care less," this relates to Melinda because she feels like the world doesn't care about her.

[Avi Kothari @AviKothari5]

@XabierE1 This is a good way to look at it but you need to explain what you are talking about.

[Avi Kothari @AviKothari5]

@AshleyMoore1005 This is a good way to look at her situation and I like how you put yourself in her perspective

[Avi Kothari @AviKothari5]

#tollgvms a6: I think that she stayed silent because she was scared that if she told anyone people would hate her more and she would have to talk about it. She doesn't want to talk about it. She wants the whole thing to have just not happend.

@Jmetcho21 You hit the nail on the head. Great job Jack!

[Avi Kothari @AviKothari5]

@Ha17058799 This tweet does not make a lot of sense but I can see where you are coming from.

[Avi Kothari @AviKothari5]

#tollgvms a5: Their relationship ended because Melinda called the cops at the party and is hated at the high school. Rachel does not want to be friends or seen with someone that everybody hated. They still have hope of becoming friends though.

@LaurenSFSUSD Good job describing this but you could have gone into a little bit more detail.
