I would believe Melinda was sexually assaulted and Andy Evens should be convicted of sexual assault because he didn't give Melinda a choice and didn't have her consent to do it. #tollgvms
@SahilHfsusd I agree with you because people do listen and not take the facts in but in addition, you can add that they can repeat the problem. They also say something different and how they are not understanding what is going on. #tollgvms
The difference between listening to understand and listening to reply is when people reply with something different than what was asked and they just talk about the problem all over again. To understand is when people think about the problem and actually answer it. #tollgvms
Mr. Freeman and Melinda are parallel characters because others think they are weird and they can come up with a lot of creative stuff when they find an inspiration. #tollgvms
Melinda's parents should have tried to ask her what happened instead of keep scolding her and doing nothing. They didn't handle the situation correctly and instead of helping Melinda, they made her feel even worse. #tollgvms
Parents should speak openly with their children about the issues they are facing because it can help the children understand what is going on and be more prepared in the future when it happens to them. They can also create a clearer and better relationship together. #tollgvms
Maya Angelou was added to Speak because it showed Melinda some light that she can also changed if she wanted to. They were a bit similar when they were both molested but Maya recovered from it while Melinda did not. It shows Melinda someone she can wish to be. #tollgvms
@KaylaSFSUSD I agree with you that other may not believe her. Does Melinda really hates having attention on her? Couldn´t it have been different and she was just scared of what might happen to her. #tollgvms
@JordanWFSUSD I agree with you because her grades are dropping and she bites her lips a lot. Do the people they are close with really don´t care? Couldn´t it be that they just don´t want to know the negative things. Maybe they don´t want to know the change. #tollgvms
@gladyscfsusd It was good but you should add more thought to it. You can add what he is feeling and thinking and what he sees. What does he sees? How does he acts? #tollgvms
@AmirAFSUSD I agree with you but how are Melinda and Pink lonely. How are they similar and what have they gone through? How did they become this way? #tollgvms
@AmirAFSUSD I agree with you because she is different from everyone else. But she is not entirely different from the rest. Is she alone? What does that mean to her? #tollgvms
@AmirAFSUSD I like how you wrote it with the thought of him seeing Melinda in it. However you could have included past thoughts and what he might think when he sees her. What does Melinda do when they walk by? #tollgvms
@MaxSFSUSD I agree with you because doing physical pain is the quickest way to distract themselves. What caused Melinda to become like this? What happened to her to go through self harm? #tollgvms
@_MichelleC18 I agree with you because she did grow from what she used to be. You could explain the quotes and why you chose them. How did she used to be like Heather? How has she changed? #tollgvms
@elicianoelle I agree with you because she has grown since 5th grade. Have you consider writing about how she change. How is she different from before? How did she grow into this new person? #tollgvms
@SahilHfsusd I agree with you because her grades are dropping when it use to be good. How do you not check in with them a lot if you see or talk everyday? They could struggle because they don´t want to believe something changed. #tollgvms
