Speak

After a party, teenage Melinda becomes reticent. At the beginning of the new semester, she met a new classmate, Heather. Although she did not like Heather, she could only be with Heather. Her former best friends all thought her calling the police at the party was a betrayal of them and alienated her, especially her former best friend Rachel no longer had contact with her, spending all day with her new Boyfriend Andy mixed up. In the Chinese class, the teacher pronounced their names in her broken English; in the biology class, she was in a group with Dave; in the art class, the teacher asked her to learn to draw a tree; in the history class, the teacher was a domineering nation Anist...her world becomes oppressed by memories and reality, and she starts trying to draw strange things. She finally made up her mind to tell the truth, what happened between her and Andy at the party, why did she call the police... She was no longer silent.

Speak quotes

  • Mr. Freeman: Can anybody tell me what this is?

    [holds up a smashed globe]

    Ivy: A globe?

    Mr. Freeman: A globe? Gosh... what are you guys, 13, 14? You already let them beat the creativity outta you? It's okay. I used to let my daughters kick this around my studio when it was too wet too play outside and one day, Jenny put her foot right through Texas and the entire United States crumbled into the sea. I mean, you could... you could paint a wet muzzled dog chewing Alaska! The possibilities are endless. It's almost too much, but you all are important enough to give it too.

  • Mr. Freeman: In here is a piece of paper and on that piece of paper is a word. You are gonna spend the rest of the year turning that object into art.

    Ivy: Uh, Mr. Freeman? When I was little, I was really scared of clowns and I don't wanna relapse and have to go back into therapy.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh, yeah, well, fear is a great place to begin art.

    [Melinda picks a piece of paper that says "tree" and tries to put it back]

    Mr. Freeman: Hey! Whoa. You just chose your destiny. You can't change that.

    Melinda Sordino: I learned how to draw a tree in like the 2nd grade.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh, really? Um. Well, do you wanna show me? It's okay. I won't grade you.

    [he hands her the chalk and Melinda sulks up to the blackboard and very hesitantly draws a really pathetic tree]

    Mr. Freeman: That's a pretty good start. Yeah, let's see what it looks like at the end of the year.
