Melinda was sexually assaulted by Andy Evans which proves why he should be convicted due to him possibly being sober or being more conscious in the situation. Andy takes her chance at speaking away through him covering her mouth, causing her much discomfort (135). #tollgvms

@AnthonyBFSUSD I agree with you in what you said the difference was between the two. Even with me considering your answer as right, I feel as there's no right side between the two. It mostly depends on context as when one is better than the other. #tollgvms

Listening to reply usually has the intent of people putting up their defense mechanism, rather choosing to counter the person than rather listen. Listening to understand usually means that you are trying to enforce the person's point through being observant. #tollgvms

Melinda's and Mr. Freeman's lives are parallel to each other with both of them feeling as if they are lost in society with both of them seeking art as their refuge to express themselves. Mr. Freeman can recognize what Melinda is exemplifying through her art, pain (65). #tollgvms

Melinda's parents handled the situation inappropriately with them only being concerned about their own lives, not their daughter's. They should have been more considerate towards Melinda with them putting her down for her actions, not aiding her. #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

Parents should speak openly to their children, especially at the age Melinda is at, due to them being mature enough to handle topics such as financial or social problems. The situation might directly relate to the child especially if it's related to financial problems. #tollgvms

America should have open borders with a few slight restrictions. Many immigrant children have been robbed of what they have built up over the course of their stay in America due to organizations like DACA dissipating causing them to be deported for no necessary reason. #tollgvms

Maya Angelou was added to Speak in order to show how her and Melinda's situation mirror each others. For example, Maya faced sexual assault at a young age, opting to not speak due to her being afraid of what others might say. #tollgvms

@Kyliepfsusd Your answer was very well done with it detailing Melinda’s struggles and the reasons why people don’t see her struggling. #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

@MadelinePgvms Your answer was good but you should also think about the sentiment of the person not wanting to speak to others about their own personal affairs. #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

A8: The signs that show Melinda is struggling is she has a lack of motivation in her life with her having a distaste for putting effort into things. People tend to miss signs with them only looking how the person seems by surface level not looking any deeper. #tollgvms

@selinam49896847 You included quotes from the book and the song but you should’ve intertwined the two more by saying how the quotes relate to each other. #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

@masteroflit You included the components needed for the answer to be well but you should’ve explained how the quotes related to each other. #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

@MaxSFSUSD I like your answer but you didn’t go very in depth with the subject #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

A7: The song and Melinda Sordino are related with them both having to cope with traumatic events and having to speak up about it. The quote “The world couldn’t care less”(Pink 5) from the song and Melinda thinking that people only care about there affairs (Anderson 39). #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

@AdityaR13765665 I agree with your answer since I included the same idea of being ignored for speaking up. I like how you included the idea of what she said while speaking up could be potentially warped by others. #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

@BiscochoDiego I agree with your answer due to it showing both perspectives of each character. You could’ve expanded on both of them though. #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

A6: Melinda choose to stay silent and not speak up due to her possibly being ignored by others or even ridiculed for what she said causing her to feel to a sense of discomfort. #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

@devinrfsusd Your answer was detailed with it chronicling the events that led to the demise of their friendship. You could’ve talked about how Melinda felt too though. #tollgvms

[Mark G @MarkGFSUSD]

@MadelinePgvms Your answer was very well done with it having all the main components of a good answer. However, you could’ve gone more in depth by talking about what caused her to bite her lip. #tollgvms
