    It was then that she understood that not all memories need to be happy or joyful, they can be both. American University psychologist Nathaniel Herr said, "Being able to recognize that our memories aren't just simply good or bad, but have different sides to them, is a way people cope with their complicated lives," (Weller, 2015). This idea of reframing helped the emotions to work together to help bring Riley home. When she came home the first thing she did was hug her parents. She started crying and these tears were sad at first, but then she was happy to be home so they became happy tears. From then on whenever a memory was created it’s memory bubble in her brain would be more the one color, proving it’s okay to not be happy all the time like she once…

    She also faces obstacles at home where “she thinks that she is just a huge disappointment and that her parents would have been divorced if she had not born” (Anderson 70). When she gets to school she finds all of these “clans that everyone is in like the Jocks, Country Clubbers, Idiot Savants, Cheerleaders, Human Waste, Eurotrash, Future Fascists of American, Big Hair Chix, the Marthas, Suffering Artists, Thespians, Goths, and Shredders” (Anderson 4). She says she is an Outcast and that there are no points for looking at her ex-friends since the whole incident happened. One of the things that many of the people in Merryweather High School don’t know about, is what happened to Melinda, during the whole party was that she got raped and then they started hating her because they didn’t know what happened for her to call the cops.
