Have you ever been the lonely person who doesn’t have any friends? The book Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is a comedy and a mirror symbolizes Melinda speaking.
To start with in my opinion this story is a comody. In this book there is a girl named Melinda. Melinda was a popular girl which is Normalcy for her. She gets invited to a party and she ends up calling the cops on the party because she had too many beers so now she isn’t the popular girl. This a problem because one of her firends saw he and now she isn't popular. She doesn’t realize that this is a problem until school comes around because everybody is avoiding her. So now Melinda doesn't have any friends and she only has one friends the whole entire year. This one friends is using her so she can be in a clan. Later on Melinda talks to Rachelle (one of her old friends) and tells her the problem. Andy rapped Melinda again so the Lacross team sees it happen. So now the story is back to normalcy because Melinda is now one of the popular people again.
Secondly a mirror in the book symbolizes Melinda speaking. It symbolizes this because in the beginning of the book on page 50 when Melinda was lonely because she didn't have any friends she wouldn’t talk to anybody and she found a mirror in a closet and she said that that mirror had to go right away because she didnt want to see herself. Then later in the book she gets rapped by Andy Evans and she is screaming and breaks the mirror and she takes a shard of glass from the mirror and says stop and lets one drop of blood fall from his neck. This symbolises speaking because Melinda for the first time spoke when she broke the mirror. Then ever since she has been talking to all of her new friends.
In this book Melinda breaks with a mirror for freedom, and this novel is a comedy.Now if you are the lonely person you are not the only one and you will soon not be the lonely person anymore.
Nice intro, next time you should try to use more of an complex introduction.
ReplyDeleteI liked it but you should have more sapport on the intro more.
ReplyDeleteI really liked it but you should not Put Mel in for Melinda and there was some partys that i did not get.
ReplyDeleteI think you maybe could have described how she felt in the story a little more.
ReplyDeleteNext time take more time for fixing your errors. Otherways your essay is well writing and try not doing to much summary.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good essay but the only thing I didn't get was the first paragraph and how it sounded. But the rest was good.
