Speak is a contemporary young adult novel by Laurie Halse Anderson published in 1999. The book has both won awards and been the target of vocal Moral Guardians over the years due to its subject matter.The book centers around a teenager named Melinda Sordino who's just entered the ninth grade. She's not exactly the most popular kid in school, due almost entirely to her calling the police at a party last summer.After the events of said party, Melinda's bright, outgoing demeanor spirals into bitterness, anger, and depression. Her grades decline, her parents are alarmed, and Melinda can't find the words to tell anyone what happened; eventually, she stops speaking almost entirely. The plot mostly centers around Melinda's gradual decline, up until The Reveal of what happened at the party, and then focuses on her gradual climb out of the hole.A sort-of sequel that takes place in the same high school, Catalyst, was released in 2002.The Film of the Book was released in 2004, starring a pre-Twilight Kristen Stewart in the lead role.A graphic novel adaptation was released in 2018, with art by Emily Carroll.

Arc Symbol

Arc Symbol: The trees Melinda draws and sculpts in art class serve to reflect her emotional growth throughout the story. At the beginning, she can't figure out how to draw it in a way that she likes, when she's at the beginning of her internal Heroic BSoD. As she develops through art class with Mr. Freeman, she experiments with new mediums, eventually coming up with a sketch of a Cubist tree that he praises. During the mall scene, Ivy gives her pointers on how to sketch one, while at the same time boosting Melinda's confidence with a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech. At the end, she is able to draw a tree that's like her — not perfect, but deeply meaningful through its flaws.

No Sympathy: Anyone who actually saw Melinda make the call at the party. A clearly scared girl with a disheveled look, calling the cops at a party which includes booze and a relatively wide age-gap of party-goers. No one seems to come to the conclusion that something might have happened to this girl. The movie is worse, showing her top defiled and partially open, yet no one seems to make the connection. Melinda's mother, after noticing that her daughter has begun cutting: "I don't have time for this, Melinda," followed by a lecture about how Suicide Is Shameful.

Chekhov's Gun: The turkey bone sculpture. When Andy attempts to rape Melinda at the end, covering her mouth to stop her from screaming, she smashes the turkey bone sculpture into a mirror, shattering the glass and pressing a shard to his throat. This buys enough time for the girls' lacrosse team to break down the locked closet door and call for help.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The Marthas are well-liked by the faculty because of their volunteer work. The façade hides the fact that they're really as catty and mean-spirited as any group of alpha bitches. Heather - she seems sweet enough at first (if annoying), but her true colors come out when she joins the Marthas: she's manipulative and self-centered, and in her own way is probably more cruel to Melinda than anyone else in the novel save Andy and possibly Mr. Neck.

She also finally draws a satisfying tree for art class, and opens up to Mr. Freeman about what happened.

We Used to Be Friends: Rachel and Melinda used to be best friends until the night of the party, when Rachel blamed her for calling the police and joined the rest of the school in shunning her. The ending implies that Rachel is truly sorry for her actions and inadvertently motivating Andy to assault Melinda again, but Melinda hasn't responded to her voicemail. For a while, it seems like things will be better when Melinda befriends Heather, a new student. But Heather also ends up ditching her for the more popular crowd.

Implied Love Interest: Vaguely implied with David, Melinda's lab partner and one of her only true friends. It's more prominent in the book, with a few cute moments on Valentine's Day and a mention that David watches her when he thinks she doesn't notice. For rather understandable reasons, though, it never really goes anywhere.

Jerkass Has a Point: Discussed. Although Mr. Neck and David Petrakis are normally at odds to say the least, Dave concedes that Mr. Neck isn't entirely wrong to give Melinda a poor grade on her extra-credit report for not giving a public speech, even with her Loophole Abuse. Because, ironically, she's standing up for the right to not speak. As Dave puts it, had the Suffragettes made it their goal to not speak up, women still wouldn't have any right to vote.

Melinda says, "Rachel wants to talk to me" but doesn't say if she's going to call back or not. It's understandable, considering that Rachel inadvertently motivated Andy to go after her former best friennd.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In the film, Melinda delivers one to Heather after Heather tries to get her to help with prom decorations even though she told Melinda they shouldn't be friends anymore. In the book, Melinda turns her down politely but sharply, but gives the speech on the inside.

Politically Motivated Teacher: Mr. Neck at one point goes off on a rant about immigrants in front of the class, blaming them for why his son can't get a job, and starts a debate on whether America should have closed its borders in 1900. When David argues in favor of immigration and points out that it's not reasonable to blame immigrants for his son not being able to get a job, Mr. Neck declares the debate closed, but David continues to argue and tells him he can't close a public discussion he started just because it's not going the way he wants.

Bait-and-Switch: Melinda writes an extra-credit report for Mr. Neck's class about female suffragists in the early 20th century. She takes care to write a great report, but is then informed by Mr. Neck that she'll have to deliver it aloud to the class. Comparing herself to the suffragists, she "stands up for her right to stay silent" and makes copies of the report for all of her classmates to read rather than deliver it orally. She ends up with a D and with David pointing out to her that the suffragists didn't stand up for their right to not speak.

Laser-Guided Karma: After callously dropping Melinda to go be part of The Marthas clique, Heather ends up being used as an errand mule by the girls. Later, she needs help decorating the ballroom for the school prom and begs Melinda for help. Melinda is in no mood to help Heather after what she did and pointedly rejects her. This leaves Heather to do the decorations by herself, and she doesn't do such a good job at it. It's implied she's the new pariah of the school because of this and will be summarily ejected from the clique. After harassing numerous girls and even raping one (and it's strongly implied she's not his only victim), Andy is exposed as a predator to the whole school when his inappropriate behavior makes his date uncomfortable and causes her to realize her friend (the aforementioned rape victim) was indeed telling her the truth and was trying to warn her.

Foreshadowing: A very subtle example: Melinda becomes attached to a poster of Maya Angelou. Maya was raped as a young girl, and rendered mute for six years by the guilt she felt about her testimony against her rapist, which got him murdered. It's also a stealth reference to Angelou's novel, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. There's quite a bit of subtle foreshadowing, but it can be hard to spot until you've read the book more than once, like the turkey bone art.

Rachel briefly has this reaction but when Melinda tells her who did it, she refuses to believe her at first. However, after Andy touched Rachel inappropriately and made her uncomfortable during prom and tries to assault Melinda again, Rachel leaves a voicemail on Melinda's answering machine to apologize.

Karma Houdini: A variation. In Catalyst, which takes place a year after Speak and deals with another student at the same high school, it is revealed that Andy was found guilty of rape, but ended up not going to jail. Sadly, this is Truth in Television when it comes to many high school rapists. That said, the end of this novel makes it clear Andy's reputation among his peers has been ruined, and the charge is on his criminal record, so he hasn't gotten off entirely scot-free.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Heather wants very badly to get in with the popular Marthas and even ditches Melinda once she secures her place in the clique. Turns out the Senior Marthas force her to do a ton of work volunteering and make her wait on them hand and foot so often that her grades have gone all the way down to Bs. When the prom comes near the end of the year, she has to decorate the hotel ballroom all by herself because the Senior Marthas have to get themselves done up for the event and the other Junior Marthas got sick. Melinda refuses to help her, and the last we hear of Heather is that everyone was complaining about her crappy decorations the day after the prom. Melinda comments that running away and joining the Marines would be better than facing a swarm of angry Marthas.

This leads to Andy assaulting Melinda in the climax, indirectly making Rachel partially responsible.
