I believe that Melinda was sexually assaulted which is why she is quiet, has no friends, and is severely depressed. I think that Andy Evans should be convicted of sexual assault because the book says, "...to scream, and his hand covers it." Andy knew she didn't agree. #tollgvms
When listenting to understand, you take in context so that you can fully absorb the topic. You need to understand to reply. Listening to reply doesnt use your brain as much. You are simply not digging seeper into context, you just want an obvious reply. #tollgvms
Melinda and Mr. Freeman are similar characters because they both are depressed right now. They are both being antagonized and question and it is making them stressed and very depressed. #tollgvms
I think parents should talk about their issues so they can get support themselves. I think sharing their information will help let out some stress and lets their children know they help run the house too. #tollgvms
America should have free borders with restrictions. In my opinion, it's not fair that people can come illegally, get benefits and live here when other people who worked hard to get in. I would want everyone to have the same opportunity. #tollgvms
The author included Maya Angelou because she too went through a very sad time and depression. She was abused and kept quiet just like Melinda. #tollgvms
A8 #tollgvms We dont see the struggle in others beacuse they disguise themself. People express their problems and signs of issues in different ways. Some people try to cover up what they see so its not as bad as it would normally be. In books we get hints about whats happening.
@bigBoykevino Consider describing how one small incident has changed Rachels thought process. Explain maybe what happened and why she feels that way. #tollgvms
@RileyM201718 How exactly does her physical pain help overcome and soothe the emotional pain? Consider describing how Melinda feels when she does it. #tollgvms
@bigBoykevino Your answer doesn't really explain how she controls herself through self-harm. Consider writing that when she can harm herself she has control of herself. #tollgvms
