SPEAK REFLECTIVE READING QUIZ
1.) - Soft-Spoken
- Clandestine
- Arcane
- Reserved
- Self conscious
2.) I think that the soft-spoken suits Melinda very well. She usually doesn't say much, or rather nothing to anybody. She is a silent girl, and doesn’t like to put her thoughts out there.
I chose clandestine because it is what Melinda is; secretive. She likes to stay out everybody’s way and go and hide away in her closet that nobody knows about. She isn’t the type to share many things.
Arcane also describes Melinda well because she is not well known by many in the school, and again is secretive. Melinda likes to spend more time to herself than be around others.
Reserved also describes Melinda as a character well because reserved means kept or set apart for a particular use or reason. Melinda is set apart from the rest of the school because she called the cops at a party so everybody doesn't really like her. She also sets herself apart from the crowd , becasue she would rather keep herself on the down-low.
Lastly, I think that self-conscious describes Melinda because she is afraid to put herself out there because of what people will think of her. She is afraid to share her thoughts and interests.
3.) SOFT-SPOKEN
4.) I chose the word soft-spoken out of the five words because i think that it best describes her. Melinda does not like to speak out and share a lot of her thoughts. Instead she keeps them to herself. On page 9 is an example."Mr.Neck: we meet again" "Me: ". After that she says a couple of thoughts in her head but never replies to Mr. neck.
Another example of Melinda being soft spoken is on page 63."I clear my throat. I can't get any words out, its too dry. I try again, with a little cough." This shows to me that she is not used to speaking aloud, so when she does she cannot get the words out. Also again she is keeping the thought to herself and not sharing.
