The book i am reading Speak is about a girl who's name is Melinda Sordino and she went to a party with her friends after 8th grade graduation and she got raped. She then called the cops and everyone at the party got in trouble because of her. And now all her friends hate her and won't talk to her. She got raped but didn't tell anyone since only she knew. The boy who raped her now goes to her new high school with all her Ex friends. She has to deal with not only that but with the fact that she thinks she was a mistake because her parents are unhappy with each other and they only stayed together because she was born. She feels that she is the reason why they hate each other so much. They don't pay any attention to her at all, and she feels as if she cant talk to them especially about her getting raped. She has absolutly no one to talk about this situation with. But then she meets this boy in art  Michale and he kinda talks to her but not that much. She learns how to draw a tree because in the beggining the teacher told her to draw a tree and she drew a stick with little green leafs at the end and he said that she needs to learn and by the end of the year she will know how to draw a proper tree. So as time progresses, towards the end she ends up telling one of her Ex bestfriends she got raped and who by and he friend called her a liar saying he wouldnt do that because that was her boyfriend. And Melinda found this little secret room in the school and she would go in there and draw trees. And the boy who raped her came in and said " Why did you lie to her ? i would never ! touch you " and pushed her. They stared fighting and she took this paint remover thing and threw is in his eyes stabbed him and then cheerleaders found them and started beating the boy up. She just walked away. She had many scratches and bruises and had to go to the hospital for a broken arm and thats when her parents found out. They said that she could communicate with them and sounded so sincere about it but thats how it ended better in a way cause she let it out and didnt keep it inside where it was pratically eating her up.
