Over break, I read a book called Speak. The book is a little disturbing, but is a little eye opening. Melinda was at a party entering her freshman year, where something happened that caused her to call the cops on the party. After that, most people in the school hate her, and she's known for calling the cops on that party. The sad part is that people don't know what really happened at the party. (You'll have to read the book to find out.)
To me, this story made me think: You can't really judge people for what they did, maybe they had a reason. Some people are just a little too quiet to speak up and say the truth. It shows how people get labeled for something that are not in their control. We can't always judge a book by it's cover, because you never really know what's actually been going on in their lives.

Avery, good job responding to the book without spoiling plot twists for readers who may want to read it.
