speak

   Melinda Sorino is a new freshman at MerryWeather highschool. she is ignored by her old friends even her old best friend! At the beggining of the scool year she is friendless. She does make one friend called Heather. she is always cheerfull and happy unlike Melinda. Shes ignored.
    A reason why people ignore her is because she called the cops on Kyle Rodger's party at the end of last summer. She is hiding something about the party. Thats probably why the book is called "speak"
    I am sure many people can relate to Melinda because its sometimes hard to speak the truth. She tryed to say something buy then she changed her mind and didnt say anything.
   when melinda goes to her friends house, heather's mom is really excited to see her just as if she never had friends at her house before.

working on the field
its hard
but i wont give up hope

the sun starts to melt me
it hurts
but I will not give up hope

I will make it
to the end
even if I have to die
working on the field
its hard
but i wont give up hope

the sun starts to melt me
it hurts
but I will not give up hope

I will make it
to the end
even if I have to die
observations
-different colors
-can't really see the sky
-little kid working out on the field
-he's white
-it's sunny because he has shade

inferences
-all the different colors have different meaning
-if this was in the days of slavery, a white person is doing the work
-its very sunny and hes very tired
- the green might mean hope

I think that the artist, Van Gogh was trying to say don't give up that you'll get there. The color green can repersent hope. that you will get what you need or want if you just try hard enough. that life might be hard but its not going to change.
