At times in this book, it just seems to harsh to think about if you were Melody. The obstacles she goes through are just so CRAZY!!!!!!!! I don't know how Melody does it all. I would get so frustrated at people all the time because of the fact that they can't understand me. There are some people in the world like Melody, and when I think about it, I feel so lucky to be able to do all the things I can do, even if I don't realize it while I am doing it. Like talking. When I talk, it just brings me into a whole other world, and Melody has never had a chance to experience that world. I would be so angered with myself and other people for not understanding me. Melody has an amazing vocabulary of words that she never gets to express. To not be able to talk, to me, is like unable to breath without air. So basically, Melody has spent her whole life breathing without air(not literally, people have to breath air to survive!) Melody also gets frustrated at when she can't hold something or get something she needs. For instance, When Mrs. V put a rubber monkey inches from Melody's head, Melody cried and screamed, but Mrs. V didn't get it for her. Finally, Melody knew that she had to try to get it herself, and she did. I can learn from Melody to be more independent and stick with it and don't give up.
This book makes me so sad, especially when Melody described all the special needs kids in her class. Every page that I read in this book makes me feel so bad for her. Geez. What if I was Melody? Could I deal with what she is going through? The fact that Melody can't talk(even though I've said it a million times) is heart shattering. Words are your personality, your hopes, your dreams, your everything. I LOVE WORDS. So I have no idea how I could deal with that. I would be bothered with almost everything. The way people would treat me. People would probably talk to me like I was one years old. Or, people would give me dirty looks like I was some clown dressed in my suit and everything. I would very much dislike to be stared at like I was an alien in space, and get agervated when people thought that I could never be intelligent. Melody goes through all these problems a million times a day. I can't imagine that. When Melody went to the doctors and the doctors pretended that she couldn't hear, that would make me so mad that you would see steam coming out of my ears! If I heard the word retarded coming out of someone's mouth, I would be so agervated that it is too hard to explain. If I was trying to communicate with someone and they couldn't understand me, I would be very bothered by that.
Through all the troubles and obstacles, Melody somehow has to deal with it, and she manages! Melody is worked hard with Mrs. V and probably improves more from her rather than her parents. She learns letters, rhyming words, and soon learns to read all because of Mrs. V. Just like Melody, I would want to learn to read so I could point out words on my template so people would understand me more. If I couldn't talk like Melody, the one thing I would want to do is learn to read. Just to put it out there, it would be and is extremely hard to deal with all Melody's situations, and I would want to control them. Just like Melody, I would learn new words and practice every day.
Melody is an extraordinary, amazing, fantasticly hard working girl who won't let her fears, tumbles, and bumps get in the way. She is a girl who can step away from her wheelchair, and be the genius she is.
