Your tree looks more like the tree on the covor of the book //"__Speak"__// ! Amanda Sanvido

I cant explain why, but i feel like this is the tree Melinda is trying to crave/draw for her art project. It looks sort of old, and meaningful because it's old. -Bailey R

Tylor Mahany Pages 3-45

Guess why I used this photo. Tylor Mahany Response to photos-- I think we all had the same idea for a photo to represent the first part of the book. I do not know your reasons for choosing the photo. But my reason for choosing it was that the tree in my opinion represents her social life. And her social life is all but dead like the tree I think that is why she was drawing it in the book to represent her. That is why I choose the tree. 5/8/2012 Amanda Sanvido

I think this tree picture is really creative and defines the book well. To me it reminds me of Melinda and her art project. Good job! -Bryanna DeLaney

This picture represents the second marking period because Melinda is trying to carve a tree from a block but she can't make one she keeps having to restarts with a new block every day. I also chose this picture because Melinda's topic in art class and Mr.Freeman and lets her restart it all the time because he wants her to do good on th project.

this picture represents the frogs that the kids have to dissect in class, and apparently frog juice smells like a cross between a nursing home and potato salad

I picked this image because she said she hid in the bathroom and there was salt in her tears. Jared Trzebuckowski

this was a very useful refrence to the story -eva This also represents the anger she held for her dad. This is when she cut her tongue while doing work for her dad. -AriannaM

This picture speaks the truth! -Bryanna DeLaney

You guys did really good choosing pictures that repesented the second marking period. I like how alot of you guys used turkey bones as your pictures because she had a hard time thinking on what to make with the turkey bones. I like the picture with the frog that she had to dissect because she did fall and had to get stiches on her head.

May 22, 2012 I picked this picture because at the beginning of this chapter it talks about them having a debate on the school symbol & how the Hornets were picked. I have picked this picture because she has been skipping school and going to the mall. The counciler has called the parents into the room and talked about it. I had picked this picture because at the end of the chapter she reveals the secret of her getting raped. - Jordan Walton

This reminds me of Melinda because she likes to paint, and because she likes to be alone, and treees are always lonely. Alyssa Tropkoff

I picked a picture of Picasso because he inspired Melinda in art class. He was a very helpful person in this book. -aaysha williams this represents her cutting her lips Stephen davis

This reminds me of Melinda, she is a very shy person and she likes to hid behind her feelings. She is quiet and has no friends, and she doesn't really have the clothes to fit in with everyone else. -Alyssa Tropkoff.

This reminds of Melinda and how she sits alone and she has no one else to be with because Heather from Ohio feels like she needs to be "popular" and leaves her. She also is very quiet sense the things that "IT" did to her. _ Alyssa Tropkoff

I chose this picture because at the end of the book, because when Andy tries to rape Melinda again, she starts to scream and tells him no. At the very last page, she sits down with her art teacher and tells him the whole story.
