#tollgvms From her experience she clearly speaks of the vivid experiences one would feel, like being numb,"In my head:"NO." But i can't spit it out,"(Anderson 135). Andy Evans should be convicted of sexual assault as she never responded with a "yes" when he asked for consent.

@JacksonCFSUSD I agree as understanding is to take time to analyze and ponder of what a person speaks of. When replying a person takes in some information to question and speak about when most prevalent to the conversation at hand.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

#tolllgvms Listening to understand is the intent to take in all or most information from the word of mouth to comprehend and analyze. Listening to reply is the intent to take in some information to speak of it again when it is most relevant to a conversation.

#tollgvms Mr.Freeman and Melinda are parallel character as they try to use art to express their issues that are deep within them. Melinda thinks of him as similar to her when she says,"I think he's the sanest person I know," (Anderson 104). Sharing of hidden feelings between them

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

#tollgvms Melinda's parents did not address Melinda's situation correctly as they make it as something cowards do, without listening to what she feels. They make it like it is nothing, but is something easy to get rid of. They should speak to Melinda about their problems.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

#tollgvms Parents should speak of the issues that they face with their children as those problems may carry on to the children. If the child is spoken to of the issues they can learn how to face and even fix the problem.

#tollgvms US History proves that people coming into this country provided most of the work in many of the great buildings that "make" America great such as the Great Railroad or many US monuments built by the Chinese and Slaves brought into the country. An open border is great.

#tollgvms Maya Angelou was added to Speak as she serves as inspirational woman figure that suffered the same devastating event that Melinda suffered through. Maya is added as she was able to move past the event to to something great in her life, something Melinda wants to follow

@PercyJFSUSD I agree with your response as Melinda shows a change that others ignore as they have little experience of how she feel so they ignore it as it is something that they think will pass.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@MaxSFSUSD I agree with your response as others ignore as they think of themselves before others and that they have no experience with the person's suffering so they think it they will move on easily.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@BrandonSfsusd I understand your explanation of both people hiding themselves away from the suffering as you explain yourself well.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@NicklasM1 I agree with your statement that both people decided to cope with their situation by hiding themselves away from others to avoid the pain and struggles of finding someone to help.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@justinnfsusd You explained your reasoning well as the evidence you added for "IT" affecting why she doesn't act benefits your point of view.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@XabierE1 I believe that your statement can be more in depth in the analysis part as you can speak of her experiences that may cause her to stay silent, such as the teachers being good for nothing in her eyes.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@NatePFSUSD I don't completely agree with your final statement of "you get some and you lose some" with referring to friends, but your analysis of growing apart is a cause of growing up valid in many ways.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@NicklasM1 I agree with your reasoning on why the relationship ended amongst Melinda and Rachelle as their split of communication caused by the event caused a spilt in the relationship.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@MattFS4 I understand your point of view of the topic clearly, but your reasoning of self harm being a form of control is somewhat correct in my perspective as physical pain takes over emotional pain.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@MaxSFSUSD I agree with your statements as it goes over all of what I thought of the topic. You explained yourself particularly well with why self harm is a form of control.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@XabierE1 There is a need for a more in depth explanation as you didn't mention how Melinda is going through a "coming of age" story.

[Kyle L @KyleLfsusd]

@JagroopSFSUSD You may want to go more in depth and add more evidence, but I understand the problem of the character limit.
