#tollgvms I would believe he did, because she was drunk, so it would be easy to take advantage of her. During lunch they were talking about how he always did bad things, "Siobhan: "Rumor—he sleeps with anything." (Anderson 90)

#tollgvms When you are listening to reply, you are seeing how you can help the person. But when you are listing to understand, you are trying to see their point in it.

#tollgvms Mr.Freeman and Melinda are similar because they both have something that they like art, and then they are also having a breakdown because people do not get them. For Mr.F. it is his art, and for Melinda, It is heather.

#tollgvms Melindas parents did not handle her situation correctly because they ignored her problems and did not get her the help she needs.

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

#tollgvms Parents should not speak openly about their problems to their kids because their problems are their own problems, and there is nothing the kids could do to make it better. The problem would also make the kids think differently of their parents.

#tollgvms America should keep its borders open because immigrants are coming to live a better life, and they would not take any jobs that the Americans would take because they would be able to work in low paying jobs.

#tollgvms Maya Angelou was added to Speak because she was also sexually assaulted like Melinda was. They were both afraid to speak out about what happened, so Melinda related to Maya, and that is why she chose her to cover the mirror.

@MelissaTFSUSD A6: #tollgvms Because rachel didn't want to makeup with Melinda

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

A6 #tollgvms Melinda chose to stay quiet because she did not have anyone to tell it to that she would trust. In the book it said she wanted to tell Rachel. She worried that people would hate her even more after and think it was her fault it happened to her/wouldn't believe her.

@gladyscfsusd So why doesn't the reader just assume other reasons like they are lazy or doesn't care? Wouldn't the people in real life also wonder why someone suddenly becomes lazy?

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

@faustina_wFSUSD Do you think she wants to tell people, but she is too scared?

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

@AbigailCFSUSD Do you think they are too scared to ask a teacher?

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

A8 #tollgvms Melinda is isolating herself, in the book we see her true self and see what we see behind the doors that no one else would. And we look for the signs becasue we know there is something wrong. But for the people in the book they dont see her trueself,and think shes ok

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

A7 #tollgvms "nobody really wants to hear what you have to say" (6) In both the book and the song they both feel like they have to hide their true self from other because they feel like no one care what they have to say

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

A7 #tollgvms After a tramatic event, it gave them depression and PSTD which they used selmharm and isolation to deal with it. "You're laughing/But you're hiding (20,21) she covers up how she truly feels because if she did no one would care what she really has to say.

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

@gladyscfsusd What are the conquences? I think that she might be scared of judgment.

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

@MadelinePgvms Are someone of the conquences, IT getting mad at her for saying what happened?

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

@bigBoykevino I like how you said that they changed but do you think that if they communicated more they would be friends

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

@AdityaR13765665 Do you think that Melinda also changed to?

[Freeda Z @FreedaZFSUSD]

A5 #tollgvms They are changing, before their personality was same but as they grew older they started their true friendship. They keep changing because they want to try new things. It is part of growing up because everyone changes.
