           People can relate to the book "Out Of My Mind" by Sharon M. Draper because it's talks about how people are judge and are consider dumb cause of how they look . Also since Melody doesn't walk or talk like a normal person she is consider dumb.

        One example that shows that people think Melody is dumb cause she has a wheelchair is on page 177 " she can't be on the team , I hear Claire whisper to Jessica , wrinkling up her nose she's from the retard room!" This shows Claire /people don't believe she smart because of the class she from. Also just how she looks period and the people she talks to make her seem mad.


         In addition Melody almost wasn't allowed to audition for  the quiz  team because her teacher didn't know if she was smart .  Thus this puts Melody in a weird situation .  Can you imagine your teacher in directly saying you can't try out because you may fail because I don't believe your that smart. That just sad.

          In conclusion there should not be a sterotype of if you don't look or talk like a normal person you are dumb . This relate to Melody because can't even take a test without someone thinking she slow . Or just someone saying something bad about her or laughing at her cause she drooling. This is not right or fair.
