Author's Note: You can always turn bad things into good things.
You can always turn terrible thoughts into extraordinary actions.
Everyone has had something bad happen to them in life, but none like the high school freshman Melinda Sordino. While at huge party she calls the cops and now no one goes near her. In the end thought, she managed to turn it around. This is why I think the theme of this book is no matter how bad life can seem it can always turn around.
Everyone has experienced a time where they thought there was no hope, yet there always is. When your home is destroyed by a tornado or a hurricane, if you lose your job, or if a close friend or family member dies. You feel as if there is no possible way to fix this or that you will never be happy again, however, there always is a way to fix this and you will be happy again. If you disagree think about it, have you given it a chance to be fixed?
“If you do not try to fix what has been broken how can it ever be repaired?”, a quote stated by Mr. Freeman in the book “Speak”. Things won’t get better if you don’t try to fix what has been broken. In the book “Speak” Melinda decides not to speak instead of speaking the truth of what happened the night she called the police at the party. But in the end she speaks up and turns her life into something enjoyable again.
Good things will always come from bad things that have been turned around. Just how Melinda turned her life around you can turn yours around too. You just have to give life a chance.
