Speak pp. 110 -125

How do we compare motives of characters?

Wordsmiths: Define these words: obnoxious, mute, dynamics, misdemeanor, cubism. Why doesn't Melinda want to talk during the meeting with her parents, the principal, and the guidance counselor?

Character Hunters: Why does Melinda cut school after the meeting with her parents, the principal, and the guidance counselor? What has the guidance counselor given Melinda as a result of the meeting?

Historian: Melinda meets someone in MISS; who is it? How does she feel towards him and what does he do to make her want to kill him? Have her feelings toward him changed since the last encounter and why is he in MISS?

Deep Thinker: What is the symbolism of the Picasso chapter and how does Melinda get it? How is Mr. Freeman trying to motivate her to express her feelings?

Memorable Quote: "When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at a time."
