Speak mostly takes place at MerryWeather high, and I'm not sure when but it could be any time really because the events that happen are realistic. In this book Melinda, the main character is having issues because none of her old friends will talk to her ever since she called the police on them for drinking at a party. I think since this book mostly takes place in a school, it contributes to the way Melinda feels and is being treated. Since she has to go to school with these people everyday, it probably puts a lot of tension and pressure on her, and she also has to deal with a lot of bullying. If the setting was different maybe she wouldn't have to deal with as much bullying, because when you're at school people tend to gang up on you and that’s different than being outside of school and having one person individually come at you. Melinda would maybe have more friends than or maybe she could at least find someone that understands where she is coming from. Where at her school no one see's her side and everyone hates her now. But I think if the setting was different it would be beneficial to Melinda.
