Melinda's secret place (the janitor's closet), is a place where she can go to be alone with her thoughts and not have to "speak" to anyone. The secret place is where she isolates herself from all of her peers. It symbolizes her life because she's been forced intro isolation by the people around her, in addition to imposing isolation on herself.
