I think I have a personal connection to Melinda in the way that high school has changed her whole life- social and academic. Academically, she has to get used to entirely new teachers, classes, and material in school. Socially, she has to make new friends. Although the majority of my friends came to Miege, I had to make new girl friends, because my others have all gone to different schools. I think that I can relate to her transitioning of schools predicament.
I agree with Angelica. Since graduating 8th grade, I have become a whole different person. Much like Melinda, I have learned a lot about myself. Coming to Miege with only 2 other people, only one I am friends with, was a new challenge for me to make friends. I can also relate to Melina's friend, Heather. Heather desperately wants to find her place in various clubs and activities, as do I. I am always looking for something else I can pour my time into.
I can relate to melinda because after I graduated 8th grade, i left my old school with all my friends in it to start a new career at Miege. I came to high school barely knowing one person. Melinda used to have a ton of friends in 8th grade and after her decision at the party--the same as my decision to leave my school--she came to a new place knowing nobody but herself.
A personal connection that I have with Melinda is that when I first moved i didn't know anyone and i didn't have any friends. Since I didn't know anyone i didn't really have a group that I fit into because no one even knew who I was. I went through the first few school days not talking to very many people just as she did.
For the second and third sections of the book, I feel that I also have a strong connection with her because in her school she has cliques like we do in our school. She has almost all of the same cliques in her school that we did in my old school. There are also problems with the opposite sex that everyone has in high school.
I have a personal connection with Heather in this book. Even though Heather has a good heart, she hurts Melinda by saying that she doesn't want to be her friend anymore just so she can fit in. I understand her when she does this because I know how easy it is to turn your back on your good friends just to fit in.
I think that I can also relate to Melinda because everyone has worried from time to time and we'll all have a time when we need to get a secret out but at the same time, you can't tell anyone. I also know how hard it is to try and find someone that is trustworthy of your secrets. But, like Melinda, I also know that it feels great to tell someone and get it off your chest.
