Hello world!
In my graduate reading course we have been given the wonderful opportunity of choice! My professor divided the class into two groups and we had the opportunity to choose which book we wanted to read. I am reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.
In parts one and two I met the main character, Melinda as she enters her first year of high school. Melinda is a girl of few words but deals with much depression and inner thoughts. It is obvious that she is carrying some things on the inside that she does not want to share. As I continue to read through the first two parts of this book, I hurt for Melinda. So many thoughts held within and her outward actions of carelessness for life, no one seemed to be there for her, or trying to get an understanding of her actions.
As I continue reading, I predict that Melinda will be forced to find an outlet for the pain that she tries so hard to battle alone. I have noticed that her depression has managed to eat away at her from the inside, out.
