Don 39;t Speak

Fourteen-year-old Melinda Sordino begins her first year in high school and struggles on the first day. She doesn't have any friends to hang out with, and appears awkward and uncomfortable when speaking to others. Throughout the day, she is made fun of by several students, repeatedly called a "squealer". A series of flashbacks reveal that she called the police to a house party during the previous summer. Her reason for calling 9-1-1 was to tell the police that she had been raped by a senior student at the party, Andy Evans, but her trauma prevented her from reporting the rape over the telephone or to the police when they arrived.

SPEAK is a website to facilitate public participation in House of Delegates Meetings. Citizen involvement in these meetings is easy and provides transparency in how the creation of legislation begins. By visiting the House Meeting Schedule, the public can view all House meetings, signup to speak at them, or provide written testimony for House Committee members' review. Using the "Signup to speak or submit comments" link will take you to that meeting's signup form. This allows users to participate virtually via their phone or computer.

Instructions on how to connect and participate will be provided in advance of the meeting for those citizens that have been added to the speaking list. Please note that time constraints may limit the number of citizens who can speak at a meeting.

Melinda is an unlikely heroine--withdrawn and friendless. She even forgets to wash her hair. She is appropriately complicated for a high-school freshman grappling with feeling alone, grasping for originality, and hiding a terrible secret that has stifled her voice. Anderson's words often seem gleaned directly from a confused teenager's soul, and only occasionally do Melinda's thoughts sound too much like arch cultural commentary to be genuine. Mandy Siegfried has the right weary tone; as Melinda, she is lamenting, resigned, self-loathing, and at times as bleak as a Syracuse winter. But there's life in her cynical observations of her peers, teachers and parents, and in her fleeting feeling of sanctuary in art class. By the end, listeners will be urging Melinda to act, to open her compulsively chewed, scarred lips and speak. J.M.D. AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
