Andy Evans should be convicted of sexual assault. For instance, "we were on the ground. When did that happen? 'No.' No I did not like this." (Anderson 135). Melinda was trying to get away and get him off of her because she didn't want to, but he wouldn't, which is rape. #tollgvms

@ZoeAfsusd I agree because when you just reply, it adds to the conversation where as to understand helps the person that may be going through something #tollgvms

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

To listen to reply is different than listening to understand because when u listen to reply you aren't really there for the person. You're just there to put in your reply. To listen to understand means you are there to really help the person through what they are saying #tollgvms

Mr. Freeman and Melinda are parallel characters because they are a lot alike. Mr. Freeman doesnt have friends at the school, and so does Melinda. They both also express themselves through their artwork in many ways. #tollgvms

Melinda's parents did not handle the situation well when they noticed Melinda was harming herself. The way they handled it could make it seem like they do not care about Melinda and what happens to her, making the situation worse in the end. #tollgvms

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

Parents should speak openly with their children about the issues they are facing because if they don't, it just leaves their child to wonder what is really happening and why they were never a part of these issues. #tollgvms

America should have open borders. This is because it brings more diversity to America and gives some people better options in their life. #tollgvms

Maya Angelou was added to Speak because her and Melinda are very much alike. They both have gone through traumatic experiences. However, Melinda wants to be more like Maya Angelou because she powered through everything she had gone through. #tollgvms

I like how you stated that she is struggling like pink, but how is their struggle similar? #tollgvms https://t.co/BqSJspGpjk

P!nk and Melinda are similar. P!nk didn't feel like she could talk to anyone; she didn't have anyone to talk to. No one really sees that she is struggling. "The world couldn't care less You're lonely" (lines 5-6).

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

I like how you stated a lot of things, but why don't they see the negative changes? #tollgvms https://t.co/XKpy8XRi61

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

I like how you thought out of the box with how people do not want to think the worst, but what are other reasons why they did not notice? #tollgvms https://t.co/8V2xXvFftw

[Flora W. @FloraWfsusd]

A8 #tollgvms Some signs that indicate Melinda is struggling is when she bites her lips till it bleeds and the drawing that she drew to represent herself as a near dead tree. People tends to miss these things because they don´t want to see the worst and feel positive.

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

A8 #tollgvms Some signs she is struggling is that her grades are dropping, she doesn't want to hang out with people, and she is biting her lip until it bleeds. People tend to miss these signs because they always dismiss them to be something else & because they don't pay attention

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

A7 #tollgvms The song & Melinda relate because in the song it states "But you're hiding" & in the book it states "I'm hiding in the bathroom" (Anderson 17). The quote from the book says that she is trying to hide from everyone & the quote from the song states that she is hiding 2

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

#tollgvms I agree with how you stated that she might be afraid, but could she also be embarrassed of what he did and how she let it happen? https://t.co/5PnJd1CmF4

[Tariq @s136021]

A6 #tollgvms Melinda chose to keep the rape a secret because she is might be scared of what IT would do to her if she told. She could also be scared that he might rape her again and she doesn't want that to happen.

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

#tollgvms I like how you showed that the odds were against her, but was there anything else she might have felt about it? https://t.co/7rHDbnCXWc

[Jaida O. @JaidaOFSUSD]

A6 #tollgvms I think Melinda chose to stay silent and not speak up because she knew that the odds were against her, with IT being a popular individual and her not being so. More people know IT and would believe his side over the truth.

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

A6 #tollgvms Melinda chose to stay silent and not speak up because she is embarrassed about what had happened and also, she is scared what IT might do to her if she tells people.

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

I like how you showed what had happened, but what does Rachelle not know that is causing this rift? https://t.co/qWtfy79Vqo

[Natalia C @NataliaCFSUSD]

A5 #tollgvms It could be both. Rachelle has changed from who she is and could be mad at Melinda for calling the cops. Melinda had changed as well and hadn’t tried to communicate which is also causing the rift. Then changing and the lack of communication is cussing the rift.

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

I like how you showed the clans example, but could you explain why they did this? https://t.co/rchjgr8TlC

[Sahil Hayer @SahilHfsusd]

A5 #tollgvms SOme reasons for why Melinda's old friends changed their friendship by growing up and changing their lifestyle. I also believed they changed because they all went separate ways into different"clans" making it harder to keep all of them together

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

A5 #tollgvms Melinda and Rachelle's friendship ended because Melinda called the police at the party because of the rape, and this is because of lack of communication because Rachelle doesn't know the real reason why she called the police.

[Jordan W @JordanWFSUSD]

I like how you explained, but what does she actually do? #tollgvms https://t.co/FpGgO70D5I

[AdamO.FSUSD @AdamO77634276]

A4 #tollgvms She does this to keep herself from crying or having a mental breakdown. She instead has to focus on the pain instead of her thoughts and her past
