Well, if the inside slowly rots and then soon spreads to the outside, it will make the tree very brittle and it will soon fall. This is can be turned metaphorical too to compare Melinda’s life. Andy’s rape is like the beginning rot which soon makes the other insides slowly die inside and out, then soon enough it will all fall and can’t be saved. The only way of it being saved is by cutting the rot (Andy) at its source and then letting it re-grow. Once Melinda was raped by Andy her whole world flipped. She wasn’t the same. She soon let that one catastrophic event make her bitter inside. Once that event actually happened, she let it soon seep and ooze into her personality and work. Once it’s infected the outside, it will soon topple over. Melinda didn’t let that happen. Though, if it weren’t for her speaking up, she would have let the tree (her) break.
