Melinda feels like an outcast in the book "Speak" because she called the police at a summer party, leading to her social isolation and alienation by her peers. This event causes her classmates to ridicule and ostracize her, making her feel like an outsider in her own high school.

Because she started school with the wrong hair, clothes and attitude. (She said in the beginning of the book.) And she didn't fit into any clique.

What is the most memorable line in the book Speak?

In my opinion, the most memorable line in Speak is what spoke to you the most. What really stood out to you? For me, the most memorable line in Speak is when Melinda says "no" to Heather when Heather begs her to help decorate the prom room. She realized before this happened that Heather was using her but never had the guts to say anything. That line is most memorable to me because that part is, as I see it, the point where Melinda came out of her shell and stood up for herself.
