Ha sanybody read the novel "SPEAK" by Laurie Halse Anderson?
If so please enlighten me on key points etc. I need to know it all by monday and i dont wanna read it!
It wa ssupsoed to be read by friday but she gave us chance for the weekend, i thought i'd find the summary online but i didnt so i need your help guys!!!
Is that the one where the girl is a social outcast and hides in her own room in the school because she got raped?
I don't think I remember enough of it to make any main points besides that rape is bad and can horribly impact one's life. Unless it's another book you're talking about.

It probably isn't on Sparknotes (which I am conveniently using as we speak for The Scarlet Letter), or else he woulda found it. Unless he is teh uber n00b and doesn't use them.

You could have prolly read the book in all this time, just something to think about.

Im sure he has better things to do then read books in his free time, especially if you can find out what those books are about online.

Well contrary to popular belief, books can actually be interesting. I read while I'm playing starcraft usually.

I meant to say school books. I read sci fi books in my free time all the time. WHoops.

I enjoy reading school books. Not like text books, but books assigned at school. I recently read One Hundred Years of Solitude(awesome) and now I'm reading and have almost finished Night.

Hm, "Speak" actually looks like an interesting book, IMHO. I'll have to go and buy it sometime.
The only book I'm buying is a book of rolling papers.

You can use paper out of a bible, but that's kinda odd.
It is a pretty good book. I don't remember everything in it but I felt pretty depressed after reading it.

Yeah I always love reading a book to get depressed.

I know the main plot of the story etc, i just need to know some things that you would only know if you read it.
