If I were the jury for M's case, I believe A should be convicted of sexual assault due to the difference in personality&power between a now senior&freshman. The absence of consent can't be used as evidence because A's word may go against M's due to the gap between them.#tollgvms

Listening to reply is to receive information only to refute back with your own opinion and knowledge. Listening to understand is receiving information that can be used in the future to make better choices and even help others in your situation. #tollgvms

Mr.Freeman and Melinda are practically parallel in their class due to the fact that their passions both consist of art and have a past thag may not be talked about. Melinda creates her turkey as Mr.F create a “painting” with a dark meaning (Anderson 104).

Parents should openly discuss the issues they are facing (financial, social, behavioral) with their children because it blocks the connection that parents and children should have. If issues are happening, children may be concerned for their parents in order to help. #tollgvms

America should have open borders with a few restrictions applied. No discrimination against others and subjectively judging based on your own beliefs. If so, keep thoughts to yourself. Allow free movements, protest, speeches, etc. #tollgvms

Maya Angelou was added into Speak because of how similar her and Melinda are through their past. Both raped at early ages, Melinda has stayed silent, like Maya. But after 5 1/2 years, Maya spoke out. Maya can be Melinda’s light in her dark journey of high school. #tollgvms

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@AshleighBFSUSD I like how you acknowledged the people around her since they play a major role. Everyone is self centered and won’t listen, even if her words were loud enough. #tollgvms

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@RileyM201718 People may also tend to miss these signs because we’re so used to the way others act around it. We must check in with our peers to always make sure they’re OK. #tollgvms

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@FloraWfsusd I like your evidence! Try to expand more on why Melinda keeps that experience as a traumatic event. She can’t find herself just yet, but if a convo were to be held with her 13 year old self, she would say don’t let anyone control YOU. #tollgvms

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@justinnfsusd Nice quote! Maybe explain it a bit more and include how Melinda distracts herself from life - #tollgvms

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@JarellC4 Great response! Have you considered adding how people may react if they were to listen? Once attention is at hand, you’ll be able to divert them themselves and less concern. #tollgvms

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@maggycfsusd I agree!!! Melinda tends to stray from attention, but when pushed into a social situation, she receives hate. It could also be that the people around her aren’t the ones that are going to change for one person. Some of them may listen, others may not.

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@NicoleG39729021 Have you considered adding hoe Melinda’s sexual may have changed her? Lack of communication have changed them, but it could also be because Rachelle is only focused on herself.

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@ElisePFSUSDD You explained this really will despite not directly choosing one reason. Maybe add why Rachelle may not be as concerned as before when they were friends. #tollgvms

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@sajdaafsusd I agree! Maybe add in what situation she would be in for self harm to take place. #tollgvms

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@gfelicisimo23 I definitely agree with you! Melinda finds that it's easier to control the pain she gives herself because her mental pain is overwhelming who she is. You might want to add how she self-harms herself.

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@KyleLfsusd I agree with your perspective on why Melinda self harms and how she can control herself. She is allowed to take the physical pain as far as she likes in order to divert herself from the mental affliction in her life.

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@sajdaafsusd #tollgvms A3 - I really like your evidence! Maybe add what was the outcome of her sexual assault and how she copes with her issues.

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@AbigailCFSUSD A3 #tollgvms Maybe describe the evidence of how Melinda has changed over only 2 months.

[Sam F. @SamF1718]

@KaylaSFSUSD I like how you added that Andy would do it again, even without her consent, showing how his power can overwhelm one. Maybe describe how Melinda looked at him.
