No Talking Summary
Before Dave challenged Lynsey to the no talking contest in the book No Talking, the fifth grades would talk really loud. The principal, Mrs. Hiatt, would yell "STUDENTS, YOU ARE TALKING TOO LOUD!" at the fifth graders through her bullhorn during their lunchtime.

The fifth graders were a lot quieter after Dave challenged Lynsey to the "no talking contest". They didn't talk at all when they were outside of school. When they were in school, they only spoke three words at a time to answer a teacher.

She instructed them to write their names and the period they attended her class so that the teacher would not get confused while she grades the papers.

Lexi took the shiny change, jiggled it in her hands and put it back into her wallet. “ Do you wanna come with us back in the locker room with us, Lexi?”, Chase asked. “No thanks.”, Lexi replied most likely because of the group of teenage boys that seemed “too cool for school” who strolled in way too late. Chase ignored them and jumped down step to step, somewhat in a hurry. I followed her down into the locker room running my fingers across the braille once more. The locker room was in some way a mysterious place full of wonders eight year olds never knew existed. We played childish games throughout the locker room. Whenever someone came in we pretended we were washing our hands, holding back laughter. Around the beginning of the fourth quarter, Chase and I started playing truth or dare. “ Charlie, I dare you to get in one of the lockers.” I got up fearlessly, opened a locker, and got in…

    The Breakfast clubb

    The five students, who seem to have nothing in common at first, come together at the high school library, where they are harangued and ordered not to speak or move from their seats by the antagonistic principal, Richard Vernon (Paul Gleason). They are to remain for a period of eight hours and fifty-four minutes (from 7:06 A.M. to 4 P.M., the only indication of time being on a clock that is 20 minutes fast). He assigns a 1,000 word essay (in which each student must write about who he or she thinks he or she is) and then leaves them mostly unsupervised, returning only occasionally to check on them. Bender, who has a particularly negative relationship with Mr. Vernon, disregards the rules and riles the other students; mocking Brian and Andrew, and sexually harassing Claire. Allison remains oddly quiet except for the occasional random outburst.…
