Speak: finished
I actually read Speak by Laurie Anderson was a book about a girl names Melinda Sordino. She lives in Syracuse with her Mother and Father. The summer before 9th grade her best friend Rachel gets her and her friends into an exclusive senior summer party. There she meets the Beast, Andy Evans who first seduces her with his good looks and disarming character but then he thinks she is ready. She said no but it happened. She stumbles through the crowed and calls the cops which break it up. After that thetas all what she is known for. Melinda the girl who called the cops yet no one knows why. She doesn't tell anyone. High school becomes a living hell... I don't want to give too much away if anyone wants to read it.
The three main issues in the book is Andy Beast, loosing her friends and Her parents marriage problems.
"I bet they'd divorced by now if i hadn't been born. I'm sure I'm a huge disappointment."says Melinda. Her parents don't get along together. They act more like mutual friends then the average Husband and Wife. And Melinda notices, and it impacts her emotion towards her respect for her family.
Her 2nd issue is everyone hates her because she called the cops on the summer party of the year. When she comes back to school she says it's a nightmare. People throw food at her. "Splat, a huge glob of mashed potatos lands on my shirt." on page 23. Her best friend silentyl moths i hate you, she's alone excerpt for her bubbly friend Heather who msectretly dosen't even like her.
The last and main issue was that was raped by Andy Evans. She was drunk. She said No, but it happened, after that her life was changed forever. Thats why she called the cops, that nwhy everyone hates her. Her life crumbled beneath her feet.
What I learned from Speak was that. We are only human there will be bad things and there will be good things. For the bad things you have to fight through, you have to Speak up. Melinda never told anyone so people just taunted her, hurt her. Made her feel alone. If she told her patrents, Andy would of been arrested and she would be somwe sort of hero. At the end she found her Voice. Melinda Spoke.
