I would like to talk about the changes I saw in the story Out of my mind for instance On page 137 it said that Melody
had just got her Medi-talker that she really needed to be understood more she said ”it’s like I can talk now”,”Hi dad hi mom I’m so happy I can talk now.Since Melody was not able to control herself mostly in a way she can’t talk she can’t feed herself she can’t even go to the bathroom by herself .Melody has changed she now thinks she is now able to have friends, “I am so happy I feel like hugging the machine. However Adults and people can now understand her because of the medi-talker and they now understand her.I have seen not only she change but other people around her to she is now able to show how smart she is.Melody has changed and she is happy to be alive and well these are the changes I saw in Out of my mind.

Sharon Draper made great decisions when writing the book out of my mind that I appreciate when reading this book.I like how she writes in melodys point of view.Chapter 1,words “I am surrounded by thousands maybe millions of words that swirled around me like little snowflakes”page 1.Sharon Draper has a wide range of vocabulary and writing in her book out of my mind.Chapter 4, I slide out of my wheelchair like a piece of a noodle.She keeps you on the edge of your seat by writing so good and you want to read more of it.Chapter 6, “I pointed to need on my board,then to read,then back to need/read/need/need,then to talk,talk,talk”.I love how when I read this book I know that Sharon Draper writes about disabled people and what disabled people are going through
