What do you think drew Melinda to the Hospital? Why do you think that she is interested in learning things about medicine? Group-Brian Berardo, Sonjar Birdseye, Trey Lander, J.R. Fetter
The waiting rooms and just the enviornment in the hospital drew her in. She just like all the chaos and she describes her liking for the hospital in a sick way. She says that she wants to help her friend and I think she also realizes that she could make a lot of money as a doctor. Answer to my group's question
The environment and the waiting rooms drew her into the hospital. She said how her liking the hospital was wrong. She can make money off this and she says she wants to help her friend.
the waiting rooms drew her in. she enjoys the havoc and chaos. she likes it in a sick and twisted way. she said the hospital is the perfect place to be invisible and the food is better than the schools. she also wants to learn some stuff to help david
Melinda feels the need of going to the hospital to learn more about the people and the surroundings in the hospital around her. She has the need of helping people out including her friend, David. She still would like to get more interest out of what she wants and what she enjoys in her life and future.
Melinda can sit in a waiting room and no one will care. She can be invisible which is just want she wants. No one will care if she sits in a waiting room just sitting and waiting.
She liked it in "a sick kind of way" She was supposed to be going to the mall, but since she fell asleep on the bus she accidentally found the hospital. What drew her in was that there was waiting rooms on each floor. Then she figured she would stay and maybe learn some pre-med stuff for david, but she would have to stay on the move to not bring attention to herself
If she hadn't fell asleep on the bus, I don't think she would go to the hospital she would continue her routine and go the mall. Since she did fall asleep, she made the best of the trip to the hospital. She wanted to learn some pre-med that she could bring back to David.
the reason mel is at the hospital is because she fell asleep on the bus and arrived at the hospital and the chaos in the waiting room is what drew her in.
Group 4: If Melina's parents had a better relationship with each other, do you think they would have noticed Melinda's internal struggles and her mental depression?
Probably, they are so focused on each other that they do not have enough time to focus on Melinda. They need to get a divorce. MElinda would be better off.
yes because if they knew her better then they would know when she was acting weird or that something was wrong. or if she talked to them they would know what was going on
Yes, they are to busy doing other stuff without each other that they never spend anytime with each other. Therefore never seeing Melinda and never realizing what is going on in their daughters life.
If Melinda and her parents had a better relationship her whole life, Melinda would be used to talking to them and coming to her parents when she had problems. So now Melinda doesn't feel comfortable talking to her parents. Her parents are now too busy with their own lives and don't focus on what is going on in their own daughter's life.
Yes. For example, at Christmas, Melinda is shocked that her parents noticed she started to draw. Also, at the guidance office, the counselor asks if her home life has any affect on her. Her parents seem to be too busy with their own problems to even notice their own daughter's struggles.
Yes I think if they would've stopped fighting with each other and made more time for Melinda they would have realized that there is something wrong with her.
She doesnt like going or doing anything with her parents. Especially with her mom, cause she is going to buy new clothes, that everyone else is wearing, and her mom finds clothes that would be "out of style"
Melinda and her mom have mixed feelings from each other when it comes time for them to bond and/or go out. Melinda feels very negative of what she does according to what the task may be that involves her family. She feels that going to the mall is not the best choice right now and her mother is trying to make the best of it.
Melinda doesn't like spending time with her mom. If they do go they don't talk to each other and whenever Melinda picks out clothes, her mother doesn't like them and disagrees with the clothes.
They don't have the best of relationships and going to the mall would mean talking and bonding which neither are good at. Melinda also thinks that her mom will pick out out of style clothes, and she wants clothes that the kids at school are wearing.
This is because when she goes to the mall she wants to pick out her own clothes but when she is with her mother she picks out some out of style clothes.
Brett, Colten, Josh, Kasey. Does Heather and Melinda stay friends, even after Heather didn't stand up for her whenever the Martha's were talking badly about Melinda. Why is Melinda hesitate on joining a club, or even a group of people. Why did Heather suddenly change her attitude towards Melinda? Is Heather's relationship with the Martha's affecting her and Melinda's friendship?
Yes Heather's relationship with the Marthas is affecting her and Melinda's friendship. She does not stand up for her and she is more focused on making more friends then keeping her old good friends.
yes its affecting the friendship, she didnt stand up to them because she didnt want the marthas to think of her different of her so she could be accepted
Heather acts differently with Mellinda around the Marthas because Mellinda is seen as and oucast and a Martha can not be seen with an outcast. Heather's relationship with the Martha's is affecting her and Mellinda's because she acts completly different.
Because Heather unlike Melinda wants to belong so when she realized that Melinda was bringing her down she dumped her to belong with the Martha's. So yes it is effecting their relationship.
Heathers relationship with the Marthas ruins her and Melindas friendship. Heather is basically someone else around the Marthas and will do anything to be accepted.
Heather and Melinda's relationship is affected because Heather acts different when she is around the Martha's and when they talk bad about Melinda she does't stickup for her. Melinda is an outcast and a MArtha can not be seen with her.
I think heather being a part of the Martha's did impact their friendship. Also Melinda being depressed all the time had a role too. I don't think they will be friends again just because heather is going to be consumed in the Martha's.
Yes the Martha's are affecting Heathers friendship with Melinda. Heather is no longer wanting to be friends with Melinda because she is negative but never left her until the Martha's accepted her into the group.
How do you think Melinda feels that someone is finally seems to appreciate what she has done (Mr. Freeman and him telling Melinda she is on the right track with her painting) after Heather no longer wants to be her friend and her parents being upset with her. - Joseph Armstrong, Hunter Comer, Logan Marks
Mellinda probably feels really good about what he said. The art teacher is the only person that she really feels connected to. She thinks that art is a eutopea of sorts.
Good question, Joseph! I think everyone in her life knows what she goes through in her life and people do start to appreciate how much work and progress she faced from her lonely life/hometown. Heather may not be on the right track, but Melinda is maybe showing a good example for Heather and how Heather will someday overcome this situation.
I think it's good that Melinda has someone to talk to even if it isn't someone her age, but Mr. Freeman giving positive feedback on Melinda's painting was most likely a slight boost in her confidence.
When the teachers and other students believe that Melinda's art teacher, Mr. Freeman is going insane and loosing his mind. Why does Melinda believe that, he is the sanest person she knows? Group: Micah France, Alyssa Curran, Alyssa Slater, Hunter Morgan
Because Mr. Freeman somewhat keeps his cool, and although he kind of over reacts by destroying his painting Melinda looks up to him and understands what he is going through.
I think she believes this mainly becauseof the way he acts in his class, which is carefree, and Melinda believes that everyone is too strict about things, so she thinks Freeman isnt like that
Melinda doesn't think Mr. Freeman is going insane because she one has her own problems going on, and two she gets along with him and she doesn't want to mess that friendship up.
Even though Mr. Freeman goes insane sometimes and has that ability to lose his mind,I really think he means well and tries his best to the person he is. This situation on may fall under Melinda's situation because they both try in life and know what they are up against.
