Authors Note: This is my response to the assignment we had. (Pick a scene from the book and explain it, look for symbolism, etc.) I might need to change this a little bit because I don't like the ending but...
\In a particular scene from Melinda's past, the group of girls are done trick or treating for the night. With all of the lights off, they light a candle and look into a mirror. You're supposed to see your future in the mirror but "[Melinda] couldn't see anything". This scene was used to show that even though Melinda had friends, she still didn't fit in or care about her future. That's why I don't think that her life would have changed if she hadn't have called the cops. Melinda would still be confused and even depressed when entering high school. Her friends still would have separated into their own cliques because they were so different from each other. This is why this particular scene was used in the story.
