One book that I read which had a massive impact in my life is “A Picture Book of Helen Keller” by David Adler, it’s about Helen Keller and the struggles she faced. I read this book when I was in 1st grade. The book was about how Helen Keller overcame and progressed the fact that she was blind and deaf.

Melinda was raped by a senior in her school while she was drunk at a party. Melinda never truly told anyone that she was raped. Melinda thought that she could keep quiet, stay away from him and that she would be alright. Throughout the story Melinda realized that keeping quiet doesn’t help you in anyway, it does the opposite it slowly destroys you in the inside. Melinda’s personality began to change, but nobody question why. Melinda finally realized that getting raped wasn’t her fault, and she needs to accept it so she can move on. She has to let go of her inner demons so she can grow as a person. This novel helped me understand how a person feels or their “mind set” when they have gone through such a traumatic event. This novel made me realize that I should be so judgmental because I don’t know what they’ve been through in life, the challenges they face, and the inner conflicts they’re trying to

  • Melindas Improvement

    For the past few weeks, we have been reading the book Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson. The book is about a girl named Melinda Sordino, who for the most part refused to speak or interact with others after being raped at an end-of-the-summer party before the start of her freshman year in high school. Ever since she was raped, she has completely changed. However, I think she showed signs of improvement during the second half of the year.      Ever since the party, Melinda rarely talked to anybody, including her parents. Nevertheless, I noticed that during the second semester of the year, she talked considerably more.

    Luckily, for Melinda she found the strength she needed in a special person and project to support and encourage her expression. So many victims of sexual assault are trapped inside their minds, kind of like the way this book reads. Like a series of letters, trapped from within someone else's mind. They are afraid to tell their story, for fear they will not be believed. But finding that one outlet that builds your inner strength gives you the courage to face your fears.

  • Another Ending to The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

    790 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is one book that can, and does affect everyone that reads is The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. John Steinbeck is a very interesting person, and one that did not even graduate from college. New York seems to be the city of new beginnings and for Steinbeck it was just what he needed. He got a big reality check when he tried to become a free lance writer and that did not work out the way he had hoped it would. He then went back to California and published both short stories and novels. Steinbeck got heavily critiqued on his first novels and considers his best work The Grapes of Wrath by far. Since this was such a successful novel and one that needed to be shared with more people they made a movie based on the book, but left out some key parts at the end of the novel. They left out these last chapters because of some key reasons and when you read the book you begin to understand why they could not have put these words into a picture. John Steinbeck creates a picture and feeling at the end of the novel that is almost unbearable to read and leaves you with a feeling of dread but, that is what The Grapes of Wrath is all about.

  • Melinda Sordino's Rape

    1253 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Rape is always the rapist's fault. People never "ask for it" because of the clothes they wear or the way they act. If sex is forced against someone's will, it's rape” (Nemours). Melinda meets Andy at the party and she started having a good time with him and moves with him to the darker parts of the woods, and even though Melinda went on her own freewill with Andy to the woods, he still forced himself on her when she clearly was trying to escape- which ultimately would be consider date rape. Throughout the novel, Melinda has a hard time speaking of what happen to her and does not want to acknowledge the problem. At the end of the marking period Melinda encounter Andy Evans, who she hates, and refers him as IT, “IT sees me. IT smiles and winks. Good thing my lips are stitched together or I’d throw up”. Melinda is under pressure since she has been living in this nightmare. Her rapist is a guy at her school, and he’s talking to her former best friend. The rape changed Melinda and forces her to change though violence. It changes her physically and mentally, such as not speaking, not sleeping, not even cleaning her hair and other things that are noticeable but nobody really seems to really listen or see what Melinda is going through. Melinda states,” I just want to sleep. The whole point of not talking about it, of silencing the memory, is to make it go away, it won’t. I’ll need brain surgery to cut it out of my head” (Anderson, 81-82). This quote shows Melinda’s struggle trying to forget what happen to her at the party, the memory will stay with her, even if it is below the surface. At this point, Melinda is realizing that silence and repression will not lead to forgetting what happened. When she says she want to sleep she means two things which are: she actually wants to sleep but is not able to

    Overall, I enjoyed reading the book because it opened my eyes to the deaf community and all that they go through which hearing people take advantage of. The autobiography doesn’t just tell you what his life was like; he makes you feel his emotions through every journey by explaining with countless details. The author wanted to stress how he had failed as a hearing person, and he just wanted to be appreciated as himself. As his eyes open to the deaf world, mine did too.

  • Peer Pressure In The Book Speak

    917 Words  | 2 Pages

    Her friends always asked her for help doing some things, good and bad, but she did her best to stay away from that kind of things. Like on page 106 in the novel when her friend Heather says “When you get through a life sucks phase, I’m sure lots of people will want to be your friend. But you just can’t cut classes or not show up to school. What’s next-- hanging out with the dopers?” and Melinda replies “Is this the part where you try to be nice to me?” and Heather replies “You just have a reputation.” This shows how negative peer pressure affects people, like how Heather thinks that she will end up hanging out with druggies, because she has already been pressured into skipping school and class. Andy Evans, the guy who raped her, always put himself around her, almost as peer pressure to not tell anyone, because he knew he could overpower her and that he was intimidating to her. Although Melinda had gone through a lot in her first year of high school, peer pressure had affected her, and she tried to seem invisible to everyone, until she finally figured out where she belonged and who she was, then exposing Andy Evans which allowed everyone
