Speak: The Graphic Novel by Laurie Halse Anderson
5.0
I said No
A few years back my friend lent me her copy of Speak and I read it and loved it and believed it should be taught in schools.
A few months back a saw a copy Speak the graphic novel it was beautiful I knew I had to get it. I'm so glad I did. I loved this. The art in this book spoke volumes and just added a whole new layer of even more feelings to the story. I want to applaud Emily Carroll for this.
I have never been raped or close to that situation. But I have been harassed. And during the #metoo movement I decided to ask every woman I talked to if they'd ever been touched my someone without their consent; have they ever been harassed. All of them said yes. Not one said no. For some it was a stranger; a relative; a friend. But the fact it like IT in this book it does not matter who they are all that matters is that their a monster but seemingly fit into society and can put a mask of a good person; which makes it harder for people to believe you. So I just want to say to people you need to teach your children about consent and you need to believe anyone who comes forward to you. It's hard to always have proof; it's hard to talk about; so when someone takes a big brave step to talk about it and trusts you with it you listen and you believe them!
This book needs to be taught in schools all around the world.
Here's a look at that beautiful art:

I just saw the movie Speak it came out in 2004 and Kristen Stewart did a beautiful job in it. Her acting moved me. It's surprisingly very accurate to the source material and absolutely great. If you haven't already watched it you definitely should now.
