The protagonist in Where the Heart Is is Novalee Nation. Novalee's dream is to have a family and a home to call her own. When she was younger, Novalee had several foster parents but never lived in a "real" home with a "real" family. When Novalee finds out that she is pregnant at the age of 17, she and her boyfriend, Willy Jack head to the West Coast. Novalee tells Willy Jack about the kind of house she would like when they get to California, "I hope we can get a two story house with a balcony that overlooks the ocean." Throughout her childhood Novalee collected pictures of houses that she wanted to live in. Willy Jack couldn't care less about Novalee or the child so, while Novalee is shopping inside a Walmart, he just drives away and leaves her there.
After Willy Jack abandons her, Novalee meets Sister Husband who takes Novalee and her newborn daughter, Americus, into her home. Sister Husband ends up being the mother figure that Novalee never really had growing up. Americus even begins to call her "Grandma Sister".
Novalee does achieve her dream by the end of the story. The people she meets become her new family and she was able to literally build herself a home. She was finally able to live the life she always wanted. In the beginning of the book Sister Husband said, "Home is where your history begins. Home is the place that'll catch you when you fall. And we all fall." Those words could not be truer to Novalee, who finally realizes that home is where the heart is.

In the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, the narrator, Melinda’s “American dream” is to fit in at school, have a loving family, friends that are kind, and to succeed in all of her classes.
Due to being raped at a party earlier in the summer, Melinda struggles to speak to all of those around her. Her shyness and hatred by other people at the party makes it hard for Melinda to make friends.
Melinda starts out the novel by stating “I am clanless” and “I am an outcast”. Then, Melinda meets Heather and they become friends. However, due to the pressure of fitting in, Heather leaves Melinda.
Melinda’s life at home isnt easy either. Her parents often fight, lecture her on her failing grades, and are not very caring. Due to stress from school and at home Melinda tries to self harm. Instead of a caring approach, her mother straight out says “suicide is for cowards”. Even holidays don’t turn out well either. At Thanksgiving, Melinda’s parents get into a fight which caused dinner to be ruined which resulted in pizza.
At the end of the novel, Melinda becomes friends again with Ivy and Andy (her rapist) is finally punished.
Melinda’s “American dream" is never reached, however, she realizes that a life without any flaws is unreachable. The dream costed Melinda the enjoyment of her freshman year.

In the book "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson, our main character, narrator and protagonist is a high school freshman named Melinda Sordino. Her American dream and life's goal in the book is to have a as-close-to-normal-as-possible life. Such as having the perfect family, supportive friends to be be there for you, and to just have a good and memorable high school experience. But because of a agonizing incident with a fellow male classmate that Melinda had endured during that summer, reaching these goals and her "american dream" was going to be quite the challenge. Right off the bat, Melinda does not feel accepted in her school surroundings and even says,"I am an outcast." Not only does she say this referring to how other people have marked her, but how she has marked herself. If school wasn't hard enough, Melinda's family was no walk in the park either.
Melinda's problem isn't so much the other people, it doesn't matter how people feel, but it's how she feels about herself.
Her only escape is her art class, where she is working on a year-long project to create various interpretations of a tree. "It isn't perfect and that makes it just right." In this quote she is referring to herself. Melinda's dedication to her art work allow her to grow stronger and eventually see herself as a survivor instead of a victim. She learns that the only way to overcome what's evil is to speak out against it.

The protagonist in the novel "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson is Melinda. She is a 9th grader at Merryweather High School. She is known for calling the cops at a party that she was sexually assaulted at by "IT" but everyone believed that she did it to ruin the party. Therefore, the student body looks down upon her for her actions; unaware of her true intentions.
In the beginning of the novel, Melinda's American dream is to be invisible and hide in the shadows. To forget about the past. She found an abandoned closet to do just that. She uses it as an escape from the glaring eyes of her classmates and Mr. Neck. It's her place to forget about the problems of being an "outcast" in her school and at home. Her dream changes when she meets Heather from Ohio. Melinda wants Heather to like her and accept her. She wants to fit in again with her classmates. But when Heather dumps her for "The Marthas" she becomes even more depressed. All Melinda ever truly wanted was to be accepted and fit in. When Heather left, she realized that she would never fit in.
When her ex best friend Rachel went to prom with "IT" (also known as Andy Evans) she was terrified for Rachel. Even though Rachel treated her like dirt throughout the school year, Melinda wanted to protect her. She decided to reach out to her and warn her that Andy isn't as precious as he seems. That he raped her. Of course Rachel blew her off saying that she was jealous and trying to ruin thier relationship. But Rachel soon came to her senses that she was telling the truth. When Melinda found out that Rachel left Andy at the prom she was relieved that Rachel wouldn't have to go through the same thing Melinda did.
After the prom, Melinda realizes that she doesn't "feel like hiding anymore." When she went to her little closet to pack everything up to bring it home, "IT" showed up and he was furious. Saying that Melinda "really screwed things up" for him. He locked the door and began to carry out what he had previously done to her before, believing that she would never scream and that she was too scared to. She realized that she had to stop being so afraid. That she has to defend herself. She screamed no at the top of her lungs resulting in the lacrosse team showing up to save the day. She was finally heard. Although her classmates began to treat her like a human being again, Melinda never truly acheived her American dream of fitting in. She is an outcast and will always be one. But she learns to accept who she is and that life isn't perfect.

For the novel you chose, answer the following prompt in at least two well developed paragraphs: Identify the protagonist’s American Dream. Does the protagonist achieve that dream or not? At what cost? Does the dream change throughout the novel? Cite specific examples from the text to support your answers. In the novel "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson, the protagonist of the story is a young girl by the name of Melinda Sordino. Melinda begins her first year of high school as an outcast. The summer before her first year she and her ex-clan "The Plain Janes", went to a high school party where Melinda called the cops. Everyone believed she had committed this act for the fact that everyone had been drinking but that was not the case. She called the cops because one of the high schoolers at the party raped her. Heading into the school year no one knew this action had taken place besides her. As she walked into the school auditorium, everyone broke up into their own clans. "I am clanless. I entered high school with the wrong hair, the wrong clothes, the wrong attitude. And I don't have anyone to sit with.", Melinda proclaimed on the first day of the start of the year as her fellow students laughed and shunned her. As the school year progressed, Melinda's dream of being equal and not an outcast within her school became more and more greater as the threats, laughs, and people change around her.
Her dream though is surrounded by the pains of life around her. Her parents treating her like a young girl, practically making her fend for herself as her life falls apart around her; her parents constantly pulling her down and fighting all the time around her; her so-called friend leaving her side to become more popular and not have to hang around someone so depressed; failing all of her classes except the one where she can express her feeling without anyone knowing; and seeing her ex-best friend fall for the young boy Andy that raped her at the party that summer. Her life was falling apart in all pieces all around her. The only stable, constant truth in her life was her art teacher and the project her assigned to her. She relayed all of her deepest darkest thoughts the project of drawing a perfect tree. The truth behind the tree was not everything was perfect, a tree may die or may be broken but it doesn't mean it cannot stand tall. When this thought became present within Melinda's mind she knew that it was time to tell the world of her pain and sorrow. Her dream then became to tell the truth to the world and to become equal to the students around her. When the Andy, the man who raped her the first time, tried to rape her again she expressed her pain and courage by not only fighting back but screaming "No" so she could be helped and saved. Melinda's dream didn't immediately happen, yes her dream to express the truth was shown but her dream to become one with the students took time cause of all the pain and hurt she had to overcome because of the past grueling year. |

In the book “Speak” by Laurie Halse the protagonist is a high school student named Melinda. Her story begins on the first day of school as a freshman. She is already stressed and worried enough with her being the new “fresh meat” of high school this year, but also scarred and upset from being attacked and raped last summer at a party she had gone to with her friend Rachel. After all she has been threw she hopes to achieve her “American Dream.” This dream is to live a normal life; with good grades, loyal friends, and a less dramatic relationships and fights with her family.
When she enters the high school, she starts off by stating, “I am Outcast.” Not fitting into any groups of people, including the cheerleaders, jocks, idiot savants and others. She says she wishes for a time that she wouldn’t be ignored by everyone else. When all of the 9th graders gather in the seats of the auditorium, another “wounded zebra” attempts to talk and make friends with her. This girl is Heather; the one true friend she realizes she has threw out the whole book, until of course Heather ditches her for a clique she’s dying to be accepted into.
Threw out the school year she struggles to keep good grades in her classes, with most of them having D’s and F’s in the end of the marking period. She simply isn’t interested and doesn’t want to try hard for any of her classes. The only A on her report card every semester is in art, where she is required to work on the same project threw out the entire school year. Her project is to create a tree. She says art is a “dream that follows a nightmare.”
Lastly, Melinda struggles to speak up and talk to her family members without fighting. Her biggest issue is that she can’t work up the nerve to tell anyone, not even her parents, that she was attacked and sexually assaulted over the summer by Andy. Andy also known as “IT.” and the “Greek God” is a gorgeous dirty pig senior at the high school she goes to. Due to what happened, she speaks very little to anyone, which starts to annoy her mother and father when they try to talk to her. Her lack of speak also add to the frustration and fights her parents have. She thinks they are disappointed in her because she can’t be a popular friendly teenager with good grades.
In the end, Melinda comes to realize that her American dream isn’t possible. She can’t have a perfect family, perfect friends or perfect grades. But she does finally speak up and fight back when Andy tries to assault her again. This time she tells him no and fights back in any way she can, this happens on the last day of school in the janitors closet. Once she escapes from him, news spreads through the whole school and Andy is punished for what he’s done. After doing this she also tells her art teacher, Mr. Freeman what happened last summer at the party. She is now starting to be understood.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson introduces the reader to protagonist Melinda Sordino, a freshman who is struggling to find her place as she grapples with the physical, emotional, and mental damage she has suffered from being raped at a summer party. Melinda’s “American Dream” is to find acceptance from the people in her life—her peers and teachers at school, her parents, and her past as well as potential friends.
Melinda is introverted, extremely quiet, and a misfit: at the beginning of the novel, she says, “I have entered high school with the wrong hair, the wrong clothes, the wrong attitude. And I don’t have anyone to sit with. I am Outcast.” Because Melinda called the police at the party she went to, several kids were arrested, and so the majority of the student body (who are unaware of the assault Melinda endured) hates Melinda with a passion. Melinda’s depression and poor attitude also result in her grades slipping, and her frequent absences from class cause some of her teachers, particularly the bitter Mr. Neck, to look down on her. The only teacher Melinda genuinely likes is the quirky Mr. Freeman, who encourages her to express herself through art. Mr. Freeman encourages Melinda to speak up, and at the end of the book, when he says, “You’ve been through a lot, haven’t you?” Melinda says, “Let me tell you about it.” She is finally feeling accepted and comfortable in her school environment.
Melinda longs for a true friend to keep her company, having lost her best friend Rachel as well as her old group that she used to hang out with due to her calling the cops at the party. Melinda says, “If there is anyone in the entire galaxy I am dying to tell what really happened, it’s Rachel.” Melinda finds companionship in the obnoxious new girl Heather for a while—that is, until Heather ditches her for a more popular group of students. Even though Heather didn’t always treat her with respect, Melinda still is greatly upset by this, saying, “Up until this very instant, I had never seriously thought of Heather as my one true friend in the world. But now I am desperate to be her pal, her buddy, to giggle with her, to gossip with her.” Melinda finds solace in classmates David Petrakis and Ivy, but they never grow close enough to be considered “true friends”, and so by the end of the novel, Melinda’s dream of acceptance from others is not yet fully achieved—however, she is on the road there. For when her sexual offender is outed by the denouement of the book, the student body has become friendlier and no longer treats her badly, and Melinda tells the reader that “When we got home, there was a message on the machine from Rachel. She wants me to call her.”
Finally, Melinda also wants to feel love and support from her parents. Her parents aren’t home a lot of the time, and they are extremely distant from their daughter. Melinda has physical signs of being unhappy; she sleeps often and is extraordinarily quiet. At one point she even cuts her wrists, and her mother sees the scars—however, she disregards it entirely, or as Melinda puts it, “She says suicide is for cowards.” Her parents argue a lot throughout the novel, and Melinda shows the reader this at several points in the story. For example, she says, “Three magazines later, my parents are arguing. Not a rip-roarer. A simmering argument, a few bubbles splashing on the stove.” At the end of Speak, Melinda still hasn’t achieved total peace with her parents.
Melinda’s American Dream was not totally reached by the finale of the novel. However, Melinda’s story was not meant to conclude with all loose ends tied up. She is learning to accept herself and not let her past define her, and so even though her Dream has not totally come true, she is set on the right path to achieve it.

I read the book Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The protagonist in the story, Melinda Sordino, has the "American dream" to be accepted and to be heard. However it's easier dreamed of than done.Melinda does eventually achieve her dreams when one of her old friends starts going out with the same guy that attacked her and has scared her into silence ever since. Consequences that Melinda's actions cause her to face along the way whether positive or negative are telling the truth and defending herself. In the chapter "Little Writing on the wall" Melinda adds writing to the bathroom stall at school, "I hold the cap in my teeth. I start another subject thread on the wall: Guys to Stay Away from. The first entry is the beast himself: Andy Evans." A few pages later, a friend of Melinda's shows her the stall along with everything negative added to it about Andy Evans. Melinda says "I feel like I can fly" (pg 186) after seeing the responses. She knows she has been heard.

In the novel, Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts, the protagonist is Novalee Nation. Novalee’s American dream was to have a “real home” yet she also wanted a stable life for the child growing inside her. Novalee is left in Walmart by her boyfriend and childs father, Willy jack. There she continues her pregnancy sleeping undiscovered in Walmart till one night she finally has a baby girl which she names “Americus”. Luckily for Americus and Novalee once they are let out of the hospital Sister Husband (a lady Novalee met after arriving at Walmart) allows the mother and daughter to stay at her house.
I believe the cost for Novalee to give her child a “real home” was she had to leave her life in Tennessee, left at Walmart by her boyfriend, and had to survive for weeks in Walmart before safely finding a place to stay and call home. However u believe the cost for Americus to have a stable life was much harder. She worked many hours at Walmart with other employees even customers who spread rumors about her and her child, she worked to give her daughter everything she never had growing up, including finding the “real tree” for Christmas. “Real. Living. Not dead, not plastic, not cardboard.” She told her friend Forney when he asked what she meant by a “real tree”. Novalee’s baby was also stolen that same Christmas by people from Mississippi who baptized Americus. I don’t believe Novalee dream changed throughout the story but I do believe she gained a new one. Towards the end of the novel, Novalee falls in love with Forney, a librarian who helps her deliver Americus and remains a great friend throughout the story. However after Forney sister dies he no longer wants to stay in Oklahoma and begins to travel. Novalee realizes she does love him after telling him she didn’t right before he left. Novalee cried for him for weeks on end till finally calling him. I believe Novalee also had a American dream of being loved and loving a person for who they are, despite she didn’t believe she could love Forney because he was far more intelligent. She said “No not in the way you need to be loved. Not in that way” when Forney asked if she loved him.
