Out OF My Mind
A book about a young girl, with an extraordinary talent....
Her Life...................
The main character in my book is Melody Brooks. She has a horrible disease known as Cerebral Palsy. This disease prevents Melody from talking. This also prevents Melody from being able to show her true smarts, which is something that she has a lot of. She is very smart and friendly. She is also very sassy when it come to certain things.
Everyday things............
Everyday Melody will go to school. In school she is not included in all of the other classes with the "normal" kids. She is in room H5 with all of the other children with disabilities. In this room she listens to music and plays games (which Melody doesn't enjoy much). When she comes home from school she goes to Mrs. V house. This place is where Melody spent most of her time as a younger child when her parents went to work, etc.
Some Other Characters..............
Dad
Melody's dad is the one that takes care of most of her everyday needs. He will put her to sleep and get her dressed for school. He also, like her mother, tries to make Melody feel like she is normal. He always makes her feel good and is always by her side.
Penney
Penny is Melody's little sister. She finds out later in the book that her mother is pregnant. Melody sometimes finds Penny annoying. One day something really bad happens to Penny.
Mom
Melody's mother is probably one of the most special people in Melody's life. She is always there for her and helps her around her disease. She always makes Melody feel good about herself. She does everything she can to make Melody feel like she is a normal little girl.
Overall.............
How she changes......
Melody changes a lot throughout the book. She grows up a little more (obviously). She also gets some more physical things in her life. Her and her parents buy a computer talking device so she can talk aloud for the first time ever. She uses this a lot because she was never able to talk and now she can talk for the very first time. Another event that happens in the book is that she applies for a School Academic Team. She does make it on the team and they do make it to the national championship. But, her team does something very bad that ruins all of those dreams of hers.
My View.......
I thought that the book was very good and i loved the whole story that it gave out. This book is probably one of the better books that i have ever read. I recommend you all read this book because it actually teaches you a lesson and shows you about some people who actually have these diseases. This is a very good Novel and I rank it a 5 out of 5 stars!
