Speak, Partner Interview

My partner for this interview was Betsabe and she thinks that the symbolism between the tree and Melinda is that in nature the tree is supported by the trunk and other trees and later on Melinda will become more supported by herself, by her friends, old and new, and by her family. She also thinks that the school isn't the one who makes everything isolated but the student who makes their own picture of the school and the other students and ends up isolating themselves. Betsabe also thinks that if Melinda and her parents were more involved with each other then she would have a more positive outlook on life because she'll feel and be supported by others. She thinks that the book is going well and she thinks that it was okay that Melinda's friends left her because then Melinda wouldn't have been able to fix her life. Betsabe also says that the book is pretty close to reality because the people in the book judged Melinda even though they didn't know her or what happened to her.
