#tollgvms If I was on Jury, I would not end up believing it because there is not enough evidence, why would she act about it 6 months after. She did not talk to the police when she called 911. She flirted with him and kissed him. There is not enough evidence to prove what hapnd.

@DiegoMfsusd I agree with you, as when you listen to understand, you actually understand what they are saying, and can learn more from it. #tollgvms

[Brandon Smith @BrandonSfsusd]

#tollgvms Listening to understand is when you try to realize what they are saying to you while listening to reply is when you only listen so that you can come up with something to say back at them or talk back to them.

#tollgvms Both Melinda and Mr. Freeman are beginning to see new things in certain things. For instance, Mr. Freeman noticed something new in his portrait in page92, and Melinda begins to notice more about david in page 109-110. They are also both serious characters who feel pain.

#tollgvms Melindas parents culd of handld the sitch better by askin her if anythin was rong rather then scolding her. Because they scolded her, they probably made her less likely to talk to them when things are wrong. They could have asked her what was wrong and changed to b bttr

#tollgvms Parents should talk to their children, but at a limit. Some secrets should be held personally, but parents can help out with all sorts of things.

#Tollgvms They should have not closed the borders. Many of our greatest accomplishments have been done with the help of foreigners. If there where no immigrants, we would not have advanced as far as we have today.

#Tollgvms Maya Angelou was added to Speak because she was molested and raped, and she stopped speaking. However, she eventually spoke again and began to live again. She overcame her many challenges, and began speak out, so she would probably be one of Melinda's important Idols.:)

@lil_rj07 I liked how you explain that people in the real world see more positive then negative.

[Brandon Smith @BrandonSfsusd]

@lil_rj07 I like how you go into the fact that they are both lonely, and have citations, but you could add how they are of similar ages

#tollgvms A9: The people near her can't tell that she is struggling because she tries to stay secretive and away from people, yet we can tell because we see her when she is with people and away from people, seeing both sides of her life.

#tollgvms A7: This song relates to Mel as both of them are going through problems. They are around the same age (thirteen/fourteen) , they stay isolated from the rest of the people (Melinda never told anyone, and the song says that she felt always alone), and that they are hidin

@lil_rj07 I like your response, as you went into how the rapist would go after her.

[Brandon Smith @BrandonSfsusd]

@s136021 I enjoyed how you had the idea that the rapist might go after her.

[Brandon Smith @BrandonSfsusd]

#tollgvms A6: Melinda chooses to stay silent insted of speking as she dos not have any trust for others and feels as if everyone is against her rather than for her, and she does not have a close relationship with her parents.

[Brandon Smith @BrandonSfsusd]

@s136021 I liked how you explained, but you could have went into how rachel and melinda changed.

[Brandon Smith @BrandonSfsusd]

@lil_rj07 I liked how you went into depth into how they both changed, but not if they could become friends again.

[Brandon Smith @BrandonSfsusd]

#tollgvms A5: I believe that the reason they split up has to do with both that they don't talk and how they have changed as people. Rachel became Rachelle and enjoys more sports. They also have not talked about it at all, and at this point its 2 late, as 2 much damage is done.

[Brandon Smith @BrandonSfsusd]

@lil_rj07 You have a good showing of control, but you do not say how she self harms.
