“Speak” “Speak” is about a young girl Melinda, and who was depressed and couldn’t speak her mind, she was so scared to, she went to Rachel's house one night and they went to a party, well she got drunk and she couldn’t say “no” to this gorgeous cover-model guy, so he raped her. The next thing she thought she had to do was to dial 911. Rachel was so mad so mad at her for calling the police. One of her teachers Mr. Neck made an announcement saying that if anyone is flunking they can write an extra-credit on a Cultural Influence at the Turn of the Century, Melinda wrote a report on the suffragettes, well when it was her time to present it to the class to get her credit she didn't speak, she passed copies of her report to class so they can read her report, he sent her to the principal. No one understood why she was so quite. She expressed herself in art by drawing trees, her teacher Mr. Freeman criticized her work telling her how bad it sucks and that the painting insults tree everywhere. The lesson you’re going to learn is wherever you go or whatever you do someone is going to judge you whether they know your story or they don’t.
