Some internal thoughts that Melody experienced were how, since Melody cannot express her feelings because she cannot talk, she said she is upset because she can't write or read properly.
Melody also experiences, the fact that she is so smart yet she cannot let people know because she cannot communicate with them. Melody cannot share her answers to the class or teacher even if she know them, it frustrates her, not being able to do anything with her voice and smarts. A external conflict that Melody has is when Melody takes the test. After she takes the test and the teacher announces she got everything right, instead of accepting the fact that Melody got a better score than her, Claire starts to complain about how she thinks that Catherine helped her on the test, and that Melody is very dumb. Melody can't do anything about it, but she feels very bad. To add on to that, at the end of the class the teacher says that if Melody got it right, everyone should be getting it right. Another external conflict Melody has is when all of the children from classroom H - 5 came into the music room, Claire and Molly, two of the meanest children decided to imitate the disabled kids, like Melody. They said stuff like " oh i'm retarded". They also laughed and let drool dribble down their chins as saying "duh duh bu bu". as a consequence they got their chairs taken away and they had to stand up for a full period through the whole week.
