Speak


                         A frog’s last leap to its story
When Melinda faints in biology class, it was not because she didn’t like the smell or was to weak to dissect but because ,while she was about to do her dissection she described the frog as being pinned back with its legs and arms open. She tells us how the frog smelled like dirt. and how she could feel the leaves on her body. We know that Melinda is telling the story of the night when she was raped, when she Sais the frog is dead and silent. She Sais this because that’s her she is describing her self to the frog because it fits her.
             I think that Melinda is a strong person, but she doesn’t have to be dead and silent like the frog. She can open up to her parents, heather, and the art teacher because they will help her but, she is to scared to open up and tell her story. Not only would talking to someone help ease her pain but it would also help so that other girls don’t have to go through what she went through especially if the ( IT) the person that raped her goes to her school.

I agree with you all the way.
I never knew she got rapped until now.
It makes sense on how she threw up now.
That must have been hard fro her.

Wow you gave the whole story away.
You did a really good job.
Yeah, she doesn't have to act dead she can say something un like the frog that really can't speak.

Jessica, girl you had the same perspective as I had on the dissection. Her emotions tied in with the frog so well and then when IT touched her, it made it even worse. I hope that she will eventually open up and then she wont carry all that sadness with her.

Hey chica I really liked your paper. I agree when you say she describes herself as the frong being pinned down and having no power. I don't agree though when you say she can open up to her parents cause her parents don't really care what Melinda has to say.

Jess, hey I think that you chose a good title for your blog tend that there is defiantly more to the story than what meets the eye. I think that IT is definitely somebody that she wants to stay away from.
