Here are some reasons that I can connect with Melody in Out of My Mind. First Melody has a little sister, and I have a little sister “I think I knew mom was going to have a baby before she did.” Second” This baby is real time consuming.” Melody feels like the baby takes up all of the time, so do I sometimes.Next, sometimes parents fight because the are under a lot of stress and pressure, my parents fight sometimes so do Melody’s “Sorry girls.” Dad said to us. Now I hope you now know some reasons how I can connect with Melody.

       Sharon Draper made many choices in “Out of My Mind” that I like.    I like how she emphasized how it is to live with one that is disabled.    “ I blinked again and she was still right up in his face I hope you never have a disabled child you would probably put it out with the trash.”  I like how she put it in the main characters  point of view, “Was this my Mother.” She really made you feel like the main character, “ I can’t walk, I can’t talk, I can’t even take myself to the bathroom, Big Bummer.”

Sharon Draper made many great decisions in Out of My Mind that I enjoy.
