Who is Rachel?

Author’s Note: This is a short essay about the character Rachel, and her importance in the book, Speak.

Rachel was Melinda’s best friends, they did everything together until one party when Melinda called the cops, because something bad had happened to her, and Rachel was super mad and now she will pretend like Melinda is not even there.

Rachel is a freshman in high school, she used to hang out with a bunch of people in this big group, but once they got to high school, everything changed.  She is snotty, stuck up, and she hangs out with the foreign exchange students… She walks around like she is everything; she wants to smoke so badly, so she walks around school and town with a candy cigarette.

She has a huge impact on this story because she is one of the main reasons that Melinda started high school with only one person to talk to, the new girl, Heather.  She was the one of the girls who made her sound so bad, and who was a great example of a horrible friend…

            You can conclude from these facts I’ve learned throughout the story so far, that Rachel would not be a very good friend.  You would probably want a friend more like Nicole, who is sporty, fun and very nice!
