Why I chose Speak

I've always been too loud and mouthy, much to my own chagrin. The idea of a girl who is a selective mute is fascinating. Does being silent open up a whole new world? My constant stream of words has sometimes kept me from noticing things.

I also know of a few selective mutes in our school and I thought this novel might give me more insight into their choice to remain silent.
