OOMM Melody and Ollie

Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper


Ollie had a very sad life just swimming in circles all day. I think Ollie swam out of his bowl because. He thought that he could live outside of his bowl and wanted to see what it was like outside. I think what Melody did to try to save Ollie was a good idea but it wasn't enough to save him.



I think Melody’s life is like Ollie’s because Ollie is stuck in a bowl and Melody is stuck in a wheelchair and they both can’t get out.


I think that Melody is feeling very bad because she said that she wished that her mother could understand what she was really trying to say. Do you think Melody is ever going to learn how to talk? How?

  2. Hi Avi,

    I hope that Melody will eventually be able to communicate. I'm not sure how it will happen, but I think I have a pretty good prediction! :)

  3. Hi Avi,
    I thought your comment that the fish tank was similar to her wheelchair because it trapped her like the tank trapped the fish. Literature is amazing because it helps us think about things in new ways!

  4. Hello, Avi. You have very interesting thoughts. When you said that Ollie was stuck in the bowl and that Melody was stuck in her wheelchair, that made me me think a lot. That was a real good comparison!

  5. Hi, I am Ethan, your partner along with Manny, and this sounds like a pretty accurate description of the book, and so, its's like both Melody and Ollie did they ever get out of their "prisons?"
