After hearing from both of the victims involved in the rape. I would concludes that Andy Evans is guilty and should be charged for raping Melinda at the school party. #tollgvms

Mr. Freeman and Melinda are parallel characters because at the moment they are both having some mental problems that show. The text states, "Some teachers rumorwhisper he's having a breakdown" (Anderson 104). Which hints to his breakdown. #tollgvms

Melinda's parents did not handle her situation correctly. Instead of using "tough love" that should have talked to her and tried to break through to her. They also could have got her help instead of just brushing it off and calling her a coward. #tollgvms

I believe that is the child is of age, for example 12 and up, the the parents should be able to openly speak about issues that are going on in the family so that they can try and help or not be too surprised if nothing works out in the future. #tollgvms

America should have open borders. Free borders to allow people to both leave and come. This can provide an opportunity for new culture and ideas which will help us evolve more throughout the years. #tollgvms

Maya Angelou was added to "Speak" because she and Melinda have a lot in common. Both of them were attacked while they were young. This caused both of them to speak less. But Angelou may serve as an inspiration to Melinda because she was able to overcome what happened. #tollgvms

@MattFS4 A7 #tollgvms I agree with you reasoning that relates the song top haw Melinda thinks they are nobody.

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

A8 #tollgvms Signs that Melinda is struggling are: lack of friends, grades, and self-harm. Its harder to miss signs connected to people we are close to because we expect these people to tell us if something is wrong with them so we can help.

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

@paytenBFSUSD A7 #tollgvms I agree because the teachers at Melinda's school don't try and help her or notice her at all.

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

A7 #tollgvms Examples from the song that relate to Melinda are, "You're laughing. But you're hiding. God I know that trick too well" (20-22). This shows how Melinda has been hiding herself behind behind a fake smile and sarcasm.

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

A7 #tollgvms Melinda and the song are similar because Melinda was around the same age as the artist when her life completely changed. "My room belongs to an alien... pink was a great color" (Anderson 15) This shows that she is now so different from her younger self.

@Mathwhiz0007 A6 #tollgvms I would try to add more depth to the topic.

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

@parisa_samadi A6 #tollgvms I agree with why you said Melinda may have wanted to keep it to herself. Good use of abbreviations.

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

A6 #tollgvms I think Melinda stayed silent about what IT did to her because she didn't want to seem weak. If she did speak up she would have to think about what had happened to her and she has already tried so hard to forget it.

@Mathwhiz0007 A5 #tollgvms What could Rachel have done to prevent falling out of touch?

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

@BrianaDFSUSD A5 #tollgvms Is there a way they could become friends again?

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

A5 #tollgvms Melinda and Rachel's friendship may have ended because Melinda didn't tell Rachel what happened at the party. This reason is just a lack of communication between them. They could become friends again if Melinda explained what happened and why she didn't tell anyone.

@s127232 A4 #tollgvmsIn what way did Melinda harm herself?

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

@t_deago A4 #tollgvms How does she self-harm herself?

[Jayden J @JaydenJFSUSD]

@Mathwhiz0007 A3 #tollgvms Where is the evidence and the explanation?
