Because Melinda does not have many people in her life she can trust, there is very little dialogue. When she does speak to others, her dialogue is sometimes forced, making the reader understand her difficulties of speaking up.
I think that the dialogue really contributes to Melinda's personality. She only seems to speak when she has something very important to say. This way the reader can see exactly what Melinda thinks (1st person). Even though she doesn't say much she makes her point when she does talk.
I think the dialogue is very short and to the point. She doesn't really have anyone to talk to, so that's probably why she shares little conversations with people. It really expresses her shyness and her inability to really let out her emotions to anyone.
So far there has been very little, to no dialogue. This prompts readers to notice how Melinda is depressed and afraid to speak, and also how she never notices the dialogue of other characters.
Melinda is very quiet in the book, but when she does speak, she doesn't have much to say. The dialogue reinforces the theme. She isn't just keeping quiet about what happened to her, she is quiet altogether.
Melinda doesn't speak very much, which allows the author to show the depressed tone more accurately.
