America should have open borders but closed for criminals. The types of criminals that should not be allowed are people like rapists and murderers. #tollgvms

Maya Angelou was added to Speak because she relates well to Melinda. They were both sexually assaulted at early ages. Maya Angelou can be a symbol of hope for Melinda because although they have been through similar experiences, Maya Angelou got through it #tollgvms

@ICUINDACUT I agree that Melinda believes that high school sucks. You could have added that she met Heather and made a friend. #tollgvms

@sophiapfsusd I agree that she feels that she does not belong. You could have added why she feels like she does not belong. #tollgvms

@LukeGor90505584 It is a nice point of view. I like how you made him realize that she is going through a lot of bad things. #tollgvms

@JagroopSFSUSD I put the exact same things that you put. However, I think you could have explained why these things show that she has changed with age. #tollgvms

@LaurenSFSUSD It is true that she bites her lip to harm herself. However, I disagree that it is to control her anger. It is to take herself away from her emotional pain. #tollgvms

@ICUINDACUT I agree with your response. She does do this to take away from her physical pain. #tollgvms

@Oliviak54256829 This is true that this is a reason. However, there are also many other reasons such as moving to a new school. #tollgvms

@MaxYFsusd This is true but it does not relate to your first sentence, "Melinda struggles to get past her rape" #tollgvms

@Michael99954736 I like how you included that we can understand because we are outside viewers. However, you could have included the signs that Melinda is showing. #tollgvms

[Jarell C @JarellC4]

A8: Some of the signs that Melinda is struggling is that her grades have dropped drastically. Also that she does not even try to fit in anymore. People can tend to miss these things because we are so focused on ourselves that we don't notice other people's pain #tollgvms

[Jarell C @JarellC4]

A7: Melinda and the song are similar because they both have been sexually assaulted and have spiraled out of control emotionally, "The world couldn't care less/You're lonely" (P!nk 5-6). "I am Outcast"(Anderson 4) #tollgvms

[Jarell C @JarellC4]

A6: I think she chose to stay silent because she was afraid people would make fun of her or not believe her. She could have also been afraid that IT would do something again. #tollgvms

[Jarell C @JarellC4]

A5: One main reason is that Melinda broke up the party. Another thing is that they have found new groups. Also, many friendships are broken up when moving to new schools. #tollgvms

[Jarell C @JarellC4]

A4: Melinda harms herself by biting her lip and making it bleed. She harms herself to take her attention away from her emotional pain and focus on the physical pain. #tollgvms
