Opinion: Speak was about a girl who was an outsider in her school. Everybody hated her ever since she called the cops on a high school party. Although Melinda had a good excuse for calling the cops, she feels like she can’t tell anybody her reason. She has to learn a lot of lessons to come to terms with herself and by the end of the book, she finally gets her secret out to those that can help her. Melinda finally discovered that sometimes you have to speak, even if it may not be the easiest thing to do.
