Caged Bird

Melinda is like the two birds in the poem that read. First she is like the bird that isn't caged up. I say this because she feels free and is kinda out spoken. Then later on in the story Melinda is like the bird that is caged up. After she gets raped by Andy she isn't so much friends with the people that she used to be friends with. She acts depressed, her grades begin to drop, and her behavior isn't all that great.
