Sarah McVeigh. At first, I hated Audrey’s mom because she was a crazy lady who is obsessed with the Daily Mail and then based her whole life around it. She wasn't a good mom. But she was a real antagonist, for Audrey and her brother. But then when I read more about I liked Audrey's mom. And by the end of the novel she was my favorite character. Audrey has a therapist, Dr. Sarah McVeigh. Dr. Sarah tells Audrey that she will okay if she return to her school and make eye contact with other people. Dr. Sarah helped her to make a film about herself and her family because she think it might be easier for Audrey to make eye contact through the camera.

They go from writing adorable notes to going to Starbucks together. Linus helped her to ask a stranger a question and making eye contact with other people.

The primary character in this story is the Grandmother whose epiphany at the end of the story gives the religious and moral push that is underlying the actual text. O'Conner leaves the Grandmother's character unnamed; by doing this and infusing cantankerous dialogue, O'Connor manages to provide the story with wit and sketch a both sad and funny portrait of the Grandmother. The Grandmother's character is one that is both frustrating to the reader and familiar at the same time--a character that the reader can feel superior, especially at the beginning of the story. The Grandmother is self-centered, demanding, and haughty--it is indeed her domineering demeanor that ultimately causes the death of her family.
In the short story “No One Is a Mystery” by Elizabeth Tallent the reader is introduced to a nameless female character. Throughout the story there are various descriptions that has great subtext to the relationship between the narrator and her lover Jack. One of the best descriptions in the short story is when the narrator is staring at Jack’s boot. The description Tallent uses makes the reader use one of their five senses, she makes the reader focus on the sense of touch. Tallent writes of boot’s frayed thread and scuffed toes. Another good description of the sense was muddy manure. The last part of the description is when the narrator gives a telling detail about the relationship between the two. She mentions that Jack has been wearing the

1. Characters- The main characters in this story are Fern, Charlie, and Ran. In the beginning of the story I had a feeling that Ran and Fern were going to start to like each other, and by the end of the book my hypothesis was correct.

Nicole triumphed a landmark discrimination in 2014, victoriously suing the Orono school district in Maine for not allowing her to use the girls restroom. Although, she sued the school there is a bigger movement in this book that happens centrally. How do you think people that are transgender and not transgender feel about the book? The book was made to support Transgenders whether or not there was a negativity in the book that is how all readers felt while reading this book. People reacted very differently to the different sexuality that the people prefer to be. People in this world need to live with an open mind and not so much negativity. Hurting, bullying, name calling, suicide, is not going to prevent transformations from male or females in the world. People are meant to have their own opinions and live their lives as they wish to or not worry about not trying to please the world or anybody else.

This book teaches the importance of self-expression and independence. If we did not have these necessities, then life would be like those in this novel. Empty, redundant, and fearful of what is going on. The quotes above show how different life can be without our basic freedoms. This novel was very interesting and it shows, no matter how dismal a situation is, there is always a way out if you never give up, even if you have to do it alone.
Although the teenage years are the hardest, it is important to maintain hope during that time no matter what the circumstances may be. The novel SPEAK teaches adolescents everywhere the important power of their voices. Yes, there are times when it can be important to be silent, but sometimes silence can be deadly. Melinda is a perfect example of a girl who almost lost it all because she did not speak. This coming-of-age novel has many lessons that can be learned if the reader just opens his or her ears to listen to other speak.
