Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
(pages 56-92)
Sometimes we are pulled towards one or
more characters in the story ,we identify with them or
feel sympathy for them.
I do feel sympathy for Melinda because she was
raped,didn't know how to handle the
situation and going into high school knowing
her friends are mad at her and don't want anything to do
with her has to be very hard and upsetting for someone.
Going to school everyday and seeing her ex best friend Rachel dating the
boy who raped her and knowing she can't say anything because
she feels like Rachel wont believe her must drive her insane because I
know it would if I was in her position. On top of that
she didn't tell her parents what happened and that really
makes me feel bad for her
because it's like she cant trust her own family to believe
her either.If you were in Melinda's position would you tell your parents or friends what happened thinking to yourself
would they believe you or not or
would you handle the situation yourself?
