Out of my mind book blog

The book that I read was called “Out of mind” written by Sharon M Draper. The genere of this book is fiction. The book was about this eleven year old girl named Melody. Melody had a disability. Due to her disability she couldn’t walk or talk, which made it really hard for both her and her parents, but especially for her. How ever Melody was very intelligent. In fact she knew a lot of things and a lot of words but she just couldn’t say them out loud.  Due to her disability people often assume that she wasn’t intelligent or capable of learning anything. I feel that it’s true, people sometimes assume things about you or other people sometimes because of their race,gender, ethnicity,disability etc. Don’t you ever feel that way, like people make assumptions about you that aren’t even true?  Well I have especially in school. Any ways, Melody always felt this way and she often got irritated and mad.  In the book she meantioned that in the grade 3rd or 4rth grade in her especial Ed class  they were doing “little baby stuff” like learning the alphabet and singing and things that you learn in Kindergarten. That made her really mad because she wanted to learn higher levels things to learn. Her mom even had to go to her school to complain about it. Melody also told a brief story about her pet fish who died. She said that the fish got out of his tank. Melody tried to save him. How ever she couldn’t, and her mom wasn’t even there to help. Since she was in  the kitchen. Melody tried to scream but she couldn’t so she decided to put him in his tank but instead dropped it. Her mom finally came and her mom was disappointed, she thought Melody killed him, but she didn’t. Just imagine that happened to you, or something similar, where you tried to tell them what really happened but you couldn’t. Well in grade 5th her especial ed class was invited to join the “normal ed classes” that year was one of the best since she met her friend Rose she treated her just like any other girl she was very nice to her. However there were 2 girls named  Claire and Molly they were very mean but that didn’t stop Melody from being her self even tough she had a disability. Overall this book is very inspirational and nice to read and somethings that we could also relate to with the book. I do recommend you to read this book.
