Welcome!
This blog has been created to help students at Prep Charter High School with their summer reading assignments. Students going into 10th grade must read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Students are encouraged to use the blog as they read to help them understand the plot, characters, and larger themes of the story. While teachers will be adding questions and comments, students should also talk to each other about the book via the blog. Happy Reading!

I don't understand this either. Does this mean that the tree represent what she( melinda) would become, dead crazying down, if she doesn't let go some of her dead branches ( her secret)?
the tress are symbolic because durring the prunning of the tree, teh sliced off the dead parts of the tree. In relation to Melinda, the dead branches are her shames, feelings, her fear for Andy Beast (evans), and she wishes that theres a chain saw that would slice that part of her heart as it did for the tree.
This is not a discussion at all ._., for anyone that only reads this should prove useful.
