Speak Quote

"Was I raped?" A quote from Speak. (Pg 164) Throughout the whole book Melinda tell us her story about High school and the hidden story of her being raped a few months prior to starting her Freshman year. That quote confuses me because it's near the end, and she knows she was raped, yet why is she questioning it? I thought at first MAYBE she wanted it and she didn't know. Maybe she actually liked it DEEP DEEP down inside her that she can't find it. I'm not saying she's a bad person, but that's just a possibility. Another possibility would be maybe shes confused. She knows she got raped, but she's not sure if it ever happened. She knows she called the police on the party that night, but maybe something else could have happened to her and she was delusional. Maybe she's making up an excuse for something else that could have been worse that happened to her. Don't get me wrong, I feel sympathy for Melinda, but there are many other possibilities that could have happened to her because no one was witnessing it happen, or no test was done to show she did.
