Speak

By: Laurie Halse Anderson

       


     Melinda was just your average freshman girl, until she was invited to a party. this was a party
with the seniors over the summer. Melinda had a drink and everything changed. Melinda called the cops and the party was ruined. Everyone in the beginning of school hated her. 
      This is an amazing novel to read. It really lets you know how Melinda feels, its a story unlike 
any other. This novel has a great use of symbolism. It shows that no matter how bad things get, 
everything will get better eventually. The novel is depressing but the ending is surprising.The whole book is very mysterious and kept me wondering until the end. I really enjoyed this novel.

Last week's deadly Metro-North commuter train derailment was an undeniable tragedy. It's also one that could potentially have been avoided regardless of human error.Known as Precision Train Control, this system tracks a train's location via the Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System and actively limits a vehicle's speed depending on where it is on the line. That is, if the maximum safe speed on a curve is 30 mph, the PTC enforces that 30 mph limit.
