This week we read more from Sharon Draper's realistic fiction novel, Out of My Mind. Melody tried out for the Quiz Team. When she first entered the room, Mr. Dimmings questioned why she was there, but Catherine stood up for Melody and explained that by law she was allowed to participate. Later on, it was revealed that Melody got every single answer correct. However, Claire still felt the need to make a comment after Mr. Dimmings said that Melody was on the team. She said, " ' But...but...we'll look weird!" pg. 190
I think that Claire should mind her own business because she shouldn't be worrying about Melody. I think it's not okay that Claire constantly makes fun of Melody. I think that she is jealous of Melody because Melody has proven that she is smarter than Claire.

This week I read more from Out of my Mind by Sharon M. Draper. In this chapter, Mr. Dimmings, the social studies teacher, gave the class a test to test their knowledge and see whether or not they could be part of the Quiz Bowl Team. Everyone did well, but Melody was the only one to get all of the questions correct. Instead of being excited for Melody, Mr. Dimmings said, " ' If Melody Brooks can win the first round, then my questions must not be difficult enough!' " pg. 155
This made me feel hurt because I know how that feels. When I read this, I felt bad for Melody because she deserved praise for her good work. I don't think it was right for Mr. Dimmings to make that comment. |
