Side By Side of Speak and Twilight

So, I was just watching Speak on Lifetime, and as I was watching I noticed there are a lot of similarities between it and Twilight. So lets begin...**Spoiler alert**

These are not in any order.

Speak: Melinda Sordino walks into Biology class, only seat available is next to Dave Petrakis.
Twilight: Bella Swan walks into Biology class, only seat available is next to Edward Cullen.

Speak: Melinda passes out when she's about to dissect a frog. Dave attempts to wake her up, and claims his dad is a doctor.
Twilight: Bella nearly passes out during the blood-typing. Edwards dad is a doctor.

Speak: Melinda is attacked by Andy Evans at the end of the movie, she picks up some chemical and throws it in his eyes.
Twilight: Bella is attacked by James, and sprays pepper spray into his eyes.

Speak: While Melinda does not talk through most of the movie, there is internal monologues.
Twilight: Bella has internal monologues at certain points in the film.

That's all I can think of for now, if you can think of any leave it in a comment!


**I must point out that I am in no way saying Speak is like Twilight. Twilight is about fictional characters, while Speak is about a very serious subject. I just wanted to point out the ironic similarities.**

Wow, I have never seen Speak so I had no clue about this. Isn't this also the movie where she met Oregano? I need to catch this the next time it's on Lifetime!

Yeah, that's where they met! They were so young. Her and Rob make such a better couple!
