  • Freeman, again! He tells Melinda that "nothing is perfect. Flaws are interesting" (153). He is literally talking about a drawing of tree, but what do you think he really means?
  • David is a true friend to Melinda, but he tells her something she may not want to hear. He says that people have to speak up for their rights, referring to the suffragettes (159). What should his words mean to her? How is he a good friend?

  • Read to page 154:
  • Soul: Mr. Freeman tells his class, "You must walk alone to find your soul" (118). What does this mean? Is it true? What is a soul?
    • Mistakes: Mr. Freeman also says that "art is about making mistakes and learning from them" (122). Isn't that what life is also like? How could you use this in your own life?
    • Now that you have heard Melinda's version of the story, what do you think she should do? What do you think it means that she has finally acknowledged—at least to herself—what happened that night?

    Two more QWs:
    • (107) What should people value in a friend? What does Heather value? What do you value in a friend?
    • Melinda wishes her science teacher would teach them about love and betrayal instead of about the birds and the bees (109). Where do we learn about things like that? Can we learn about love from a book? Explain.

    In your notebook
    • Reflect on the situation with the immigrant discussion. Why is David a hero? What do you think of him?
    • Secrets: Why do you think Melinda won't tell her parents what happened to her? Have you ever had a personal secret that you were afraid to tell? What makes it so difficult to tell the truth sometimes?
