Speak Final Assessment

1. One time that my inner voice and outer voice were in disagreement is when I got in a argument with my mom about my grades. I had got a F in my math class and we were talking about it and in my inner voice I wanted to tell her that I was having a hard time with the class and I was confused on how to do the work and I was going to agree with her that I was doing bad and it was my fault but when I tried to use my outer voice it came out wrong and it sounded like I was trying to go against her and I was trying to make excuses and I was trying to tell her she was wrong when I was trying to agree with her. So my it sucked that my outer voice didn't say what my inner voice was trying to say so it didn't go so well when I went against what my inner voice was trying to say and I regret not going with what my inner voice was trying to say. It did not feel good to go against my inner voice.

 2. One time my inner and outer voice were in agreement was when I asked my Dad for food. Something made me feel like I was hungry and my inner voice was telling me to ask my Dad to make me some food but ask in a nice way so I went to my Dad and everything my inner voice said I agreed with so I said everything my inner voice said using my outer voice and it worked. It felt good listening to my inner voice and it really helped me a lot. If I didn't use my inner voice then I might of said the wrong thing and made it sound like I was demanding my Dad to make me food so i’m really glad that I used my inner voice. Since I did use my inner voice and not just my outer voice it didn't sound wrong when I said it like it did when I didn't use my inner voice when I tried to explain about the F to my Mom. After I used my inner voice I felt that I couldn't talk without using it first and I always talk better and get my tone of voice right when I use my inner voice.

   3A. A time Melinda’s inner voice is in discord with her outer voice is when she is talking to Mr.Neck and he say’s to her

“ We meet again”

and she doesn't say anything but in her inner voice she is saying

“Would her listen to I need to go home and change or Did you see what that bozo did” (9).

Melinda say’s all these things in her inner voice but never says it with her outer voice. This show’s that she has a problem with speaking out loud and is more of a silent person. In conclusion this is my Speak Final Assessment.

                                                                      

Little brother: Good or Bad

Little Brother

By: Cory Doctorow

 April 29, 2008

Published by: Tor Books

Genre: Fiction/ Cyberpunk

In the story Little brother Marcus Yallow is a hacker living an ordinary life in San Francisco until he skips school one day and a terrorist attack changes his life forever. Marcus Yallow is in the middle of a terrorist attack and is accused of being part of it and Marcus is tortured and trapped by the DHS (Department of homeland security). After he set free he learns that the DHS has started to blame everybody, Marcus sees that he the only one who can stop the DHS and set everything right and embarks on a mission to stop the DHS.

“A wonderful, important book . . . I’d recommend Little brother over pretty much any book I’ve read this year.” Neil Gaiman tells us on the book cover.

            In Little brother the author really knows how to get you into it and express the character’s personality, just by reading the first couple of pages I could already see that Marcus was smart, and a little cocky. This book really reminds me of Ender’s game because in the book Marcus is really good with hi tech stuff and so is Ender.

           “Skipping school isn’t a crime.It’s a infraction.They’re totally different”(23).

           This book was really good and I recommend it to everybody, it reminded me of 9/11 and I really enjoyed that he made the situation serious and not like a joke and I liked that he made the character’s personality show.

I give this book four paws.

Five words that best describes Melinda so far is anti-social, suffering,shy,outcast and scared.

She is anti-social because she hardly talks and when she does talk it’s only like one or two words.

She is suffering because she doesn’t know who to tell about the rape and has to keep all her emotions hidden so nobody would think somethings wrong with her.

She is also shy because she has a hard time talking to other people and she is a outcast because she is always by herself and doesn’t fit in with the other kids and she enjoys being by herself.

She is scared because of what happened to her and she doesn’t know what to do.

I think the best word that describes Melinda is Anti-social.

I think that Anti-social is the best word that describes her because she never talks throughout the whole entire story and if she does it’s very rare and short.She mostly talks to herself or and when somebody says something to her she either stays quiet or says something real quick and stops talking.
