Speak is about a girl name Melinda.She is a very shy girl. She comes to this new school and she doesn't know where anything is, and she keeps getting in trouble on the first day. She doesn't like her teachers. But she just meets this girl named Heather. Heather from Ohio. Alyssa Tropkoff.

Melinda has still haven't found any friends or anyone to talk to, she still thinks everyone is out to get her. Melinda only talks to herself, she's shy and weird. She doesn't open or talk to anyone but herself, barely even her parents. A couple of years ago Melinda had an accident at a party and ended up i calling the cops, so this is mostly why she has no friends. No one wants to be friends with a tattle-tail. -Alyssa Tropkoff

Austin P:why did Melinda go to the party in the first place?

It's the second quarter and Melinda still doesn't have any friends. Thanksgiving comes around and her mom is trying to make dinner for her but she has to leave for Black Friday. Honestly it didn't matter to her, she's not very talkative to any one but herself. Every since she called the cops for some mysterious reason. But she has to stay with her dad, who is trying to make the dinner but ruins the dinner so they have to order pizza. Her art teacher thinks it is interesting that she does that. Melinda takes a wishbone and rips the head of it barbie doll and puts the it on the barbie doll. When she has biology class she has to descect a frog but she can't do it because it reminds her of the horrible event at the party and the reason she had to call the police.~John Grinder Summarizer

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
