Right before high school, you are at a party. Something happens and you call the police. The first day of school no one likes you. That’s Melinda’s life in Speak. In the book the tree represents Melinda conflict.
To begin with, in the story SPEAK Melinda has a lot of conflicts in her life. One of her conflicts are in the whole school that she doesn’t have any friends and her old friends won’t talk to her. In the book there is a quote that Melinda says on page 108, “ IT is easier to floss with barbed wire than admit that you like some-one in middle school.” Another conflict is that she got raped at a party before the first day of school. That’s why people now won’t talk to her anymore.
In SPEAK the tree represents Melinda’s life in a good way. In the beginning the tree is going bad and Melinda’s life is to. By the year goes by the tree is getting trimmed and Melinda’s life is going good. When the dead branches are getting trimmed off and Melinda’s past is behind her.
Just as the tree was saved Melinda is also saved from her conflicts in the end. There is a lesson in the book, “If something bad happens tell other so they can help you.” So you need to speak up. You need to speak.
I really liked your ideas, like that the tree represented her life. Your stregths are thinking of good topics and getting in a good final thought. You might consider trying to trying to prove your points. Next time try to use some better word choice and make sure you are using the right words.
