michellec3/4 4:18 PMsometimes it'

tlink3/4 4:19 PMhow old will u be??
michellec3/4 4:19 PMi saw that preview
michellec3/4 4:19 PMfor the johnny depp movie
sallys3/4 4:19 PMI'm 14
michellec3/4 4:19 PMit looks interesting
michellec3/4 4:20 PMwe are going to go ahead and talk about the book
sallys3/4 4:20 PMOkay
michellec3/4 4:20 PMdo you remember why phillip couldn't try out for track?
sallys3/4 4:20 PMHe got a bad grade in english
michellec3/4 4:21 PMwhy do you think he got a bad grade in english?
sallys3/4 4:21 PM'cause he didn't pay attention and he goofed off all the time
tlink3/4 4:21 PMdo u think he puts more value in school or athletics?
sallys3/4 4:21 PMDepends on the class, really
michellec3/4 4:21 PMdidn't he want to make narwin laugh
michellec3/4 4:21 PMor lighten up?
sallys3/4 4:22 PMyeah
MaryF3/4 4:22 PMI agree, but I think his main interest is running track
michellec3/4 4:22 PMwhat did he do to counteract the bad grade?
sallys3/4 4:22 PMor doing some kind of sport
tlink3/4 4:22 PMright i think so too
sallys3/4 4:22 PMhe was going to ask Narwin for extra work to do in class
sallys3/4 4:23 PMbut at the end he switched to a different school
tlink3/4 4:23 PMwhy do u think that he decided to cause a disruption instead? or do u think him humming was even a distraction?
sallys3/4 4:23 PMI don't think it was. And if he did it all the time, then it really wasn't on purpose
michellec3/4 4:23 PMwhy do you think the media turned the incident into a sensation
michellec3/4 4:24 PMdo you think phillip hummed on purpose to irritate narwin?
sallys3/4 4:24 PMThey didn't do it o n purpose. One lie begat another and so on
sallys3/4 4:24 PMno, I do not. I think she just found it disrupting
tlink3/4 4:24 PMyea, once u tell a first lie, it's easy to keep going w/ it
MaryF3/4 4:24 PMYeah, I agree with you Sally. I think this shows how the media works in real life
sallys3/4 4:24 PMyeah
sallys3/4 4:24 PMdo you have a list of questions or something?
michellec3/4 4:24 PMdo you think that the media took advantage of the situation?
michellec3/4 4:24 PMsortof
sallys3/4 4:24 PMYeah, they did
michellec3/4 4:24 PMis it irritating
michellec3/4 4:25 PMi can stop
MaryF3/4 4:25 PMhaha yep :) we do have a list
sallys3/4 4:25 PMno, just wondering
michellec3/4 4:25 PMsory
michellec3/4 4:25 PMto put you on the spot
MaryF3/4 4:25 PMmaybe we should all answer the questions so its not like sally is getting a quiz :)
sallys3/4 4:25 PMIt's an easy quiz
MaryF3/4 4:25 PMhaha
tlink3/4 4:25 PMhaha well good!
michellec3/4 4:25 PMgood
michellec3/4 4:25 PMyou pass
sallys3/4 4:25 PMyays!
michellec3/4 4:26 PMwhat i wanted to get to was the idea of defining truth
sallys3/4 4:26 PM...what?
michellec3/4 4:26 PMi was just curious as to who you thought defined the "truth?"
sallys3/4 4:27 PMwhat do you mean by 'Who defined the "truth"?
michellec3/4 4:27 PMdoes the media create a truth- meaning that it is not exactly what happened
michellec3/4 4:27 PMdid they exaggerate
sallys3/4 4:27 PMYeah, they did. A lot more than they should ahve
sallys3/4 4:27 PMhave*
michellec3/4 4:27 PMdo you think they had the right to do so?
sallys3/4 4:27 PM....Freedom of Speech...
michellec3/4 4:27 PMi kind of think that the media shouldn't exaggerate so much
michellec3/4 4:27 PMbut exactly ...freedom of speech
michellec3/4 4:28 PMbut didnt' they create the situation to where phillip was forced to change schools?
sallys3/4 4:28 PMYeah, they did, I guess
tlink3/4 4:28 PMwhat do u think about how the media got it's info? do you think it could have been different if his school would have given moreinfo?
sallys3/4 4:28 PMSo maybe they went a little overboard with his rights
MaryF3/4 4:28 PMI definitely don't think they are breaking anything on the constitution about freedom of the press and freedom of speech, but I think the press shoudl have certain moral codes to follow
tlink3/4 4:28 PMb/c the media didn't really see or hear any of narwin's side
sallys3/4 4:29 PMThe school should have given more information
sallys3/4 4:29 PMI agree with you on that
michellec3/4 4:29 PMwhy do you think they didn't ?
tlink3/4 4:29 PMyes, it could have changed everything...yet, i guess they have some privacy to protect, including all their students and teachers and faculty
MaryF3/4 4:29 PMdo you think the principles should have been more involved in the first place so they would be able to give more info to the press?
sallys3/4 4:29 PMBecause they probably didn't know it would blow up to be such a big deal
tlink3/4 4:29 PMi know, it got huge!
michellec3/4 4:29 PMi don't think that the school didn't give info because they were protecting the students
sallys3/4 4:29 PMYes. Princepals should be involved in everything that happens in their school
tlink3/4 4:30 PMyes...and the principal wasn't even aware
michellec3/4 4:30 PMthey were definitely trying to downplay the situation
tlink3/4 4:30 PMyet i know that principals have lives too....she was out of town, she's not totallyall knowing, but u think she would haveknown by then
sallys3/4 4:30 PMyeah
tlink3/4 4:30 PMand the assistant principal didn't even try to uderstand phillip's side...maybe if he had probed more for some info from phillip, that could have elminated some confusion
sallys3/4 4:31 PMand all the propaganda, then it never would have happened, and then there would be no story...
michellec3/4 4:31 PMyeah, the truth is hard to find if nobody looks for it
michellec3/4 4:31 PMtrue
michellec3/4 4:31 PMthere were lots of propaganda
MaryF3/4 4:32 PMdo you think the track coach should have been more involved since he knew that Philip was having problems with Narwin?
michellec3/4 4:32 PMthey were trying to get the budget passed so no one wanted to rock the boat
tlink3/4 4:32 PMoh i definitely think so mary
sallys3/4 4:32 PMno, I don't believe he should of
sallys3/4 4:32 PMit wasn't his department
tlink3/4 4:32 PMhe was the only person who really had an objective view, he knew narwin, and he really knew phillip and his reasoning
sallys3/4 4:32 PMwell, yeah...
michellec3/4 4:33 PMmaybe he didn't want to be involved
MaryF3/4 4:33 PMand I think he knew how this issue was becoming so big and he didn't really do anything to protect his school
tlink3/4 4:33 PMbut i understand what you mean about not wanting to get involved, it wasn't like he was his "student" or son or anything
michellec3/4 4:33 PMbut couldn't his involvement have helped both narwin and phillip
tlink3/4 4:33 PMoh yes..i think it could have helped stop the snowball effect b/f it got too outtahand
sallys3/4 4:33 PMyeah, it probably could o
sallys3/4 4:33 PMof*
michellec3/4 4:34 PMit's really amazing about how things explode after one simple action
michellec3/4 4:34 PMi guess that happens a lot in the media everyday
sallys3/4 4:34 PMyeah, if they stuck to the truth, the front page stories we read now could be in the very back
michellec3/4 4:34 PMvery true
MaryF3/4 4:35 PMyeah, thats a very good point...they wouldnt be nearly as interesting
michellec3/4 4:35 PMwhy do you think they do it?
sallys3/4 4:35 PMto get more attention
tlink3/4 4:35 PMkind of how people exaggerate stories to make it sound better and get attention
michellec3/4 4:35 PMbut doesn't that create false perceptions?
sallys3/4 4:35 PMyeah
sallys3/4 4:35 PMyes
michellec3/4 4:35 PMi think it does
MaryF3/4 4:35 PMwhat did you think of being able to see all characters' viewpoints and feelings in the book?
sallys3/4 4:36 PMIt was definately different
michellec3/4 4:36 PMpeople rarely look for the truth if what they read in magazines is more interesting
sallys3/4 4:36 PMI liked being able to see everybodies diffrent view. AVI did a good job
MaryF3/4 4:36 PMI definitely agree with you sally
tlink3/4 4:36 PMi think if we didn't see the other viewpoints, we would have very biased ideas on this subject...we could have hated narwin, just like the radio announcer did
michellec3/4 4:36 PMi think it was easier to read
sallys3/4 4:36 PMyeah
MaryF3/4 4:37 PMhow were philip's diary entries different from ms. narwin's letter to her sister? did you think you were reading about the same event?
sallys3/4 4:37 PMbut you shouldn't hate or judge people unless you actually know them
tlink3/4 4:37 PMvery true
michellec3/4 4:37 PMbut people do
tlink3/4 4:38 PMoh all the time!
sallys3/4 4:38 PM*nods*
sallys3/4 4:38 PMso, back to Mary's queston
sallys3/4 4:38 PMquestion*
tlink3/4 4:39 PMoh, their sides of the story varied GREATLY
tlink3/4 4:39 PMit was hard to understand they were talking aboutthe same event
sallys3/4 4:40 PMyeah, it was at some points
MaryF3/4 4:40 PMI felt so bad for ms narwin after reading her letters
tlink3/4 4:40 PMi know i did too
sallys3/4 4:40 PMyeah, she was really desperate
tlink3/4 4:40 PMi'm sure her sisterdid as well
MaryF3/4 4:40 PMI dont think I would have had the same feelings towards her if I hadn't seen her letters
sallys3/4 4:40 PMto see her sister again*
sallys3/4 4:40 PMYeah, her letters helped to vary the sides a lot
tlink3/4 4:40 PMoh iknow i wouldn't have! i mean, we wouldn't have even known how much she cared for phillip, and how hard she worked at her teaching
michellec3/4 4:40 PMyeah, showing all the points of view lets you make up your mind about the issue using all the facts
sallys3/4 4:41 PMThe ending was a little sad
michellec3/4 4:41 PMyeah
michellec3/4 4:41 PMit was a great ironic ending
sallys3/4 4:42 PMyes, good twist
MaryF3/4 4:42 PMI thought it was very ironic....i wonder what his classmates who had heard the stories on the news thought
tlink3/4 4:42 PMdid u like th eending? or did u want more?
michellec3/4 4:42 PMi liked the ending
michellec3/4 4:42 PMmade you think about what would happen next
michellec3/4 4:42 PMyou could make it up in your head
sallys3/4 4:42 PMI liked how he ended up, but I would have been nice to read more, like what happened afterwards
tlink3/4 4:42 PMi liked the twist too... but i definitely wanted to hear more about narwin! i wanted an epilogue or sequel or something haha
MaryF3/4 4:42 PMyeah, me too!
michellec3/4 4:43 PMthat means the author did his job well.....he gave you a great book and left you wanting more
sallys3/4 4:43 PMIt would have been fun to read
michellec3/4 4:43 PMmost of the good books that i've read are alwasy like that
michellec3/4 4:43 PMa little frustrating at times though
tlink3/4 4:43 PMyea
MaryF3/4 4:43 PMI want more of a conclusion sometiomes, but I guess it depends on the book
michellec3/4 4:43 PMit's like harry potter (the first book) without the rest of the books
michellec3/4 4:44 PMthat would have been sad
sallys3/4 4:44 PMyeah
tlink3/4 4:45 PMdid u like how the author used memos, diary entries, letters, and conversations all in one book?
michellec3/4 4:45 PMi didn't think about this until after i was done reading the book....but what do you think of the title?
michellec3/4 4:45 PMsorry too many questions..
MaryF3/4 4:45 PMI thought it made it a quick read, I didn't get bored with the same style throughout the whole book
tlink3/4 4:45 PMtrue true
tlink3/4 4:46 PMit was a quick read...which in a way is kind of surprising considering we switched back and forth so much
sallys3/4 4:46 PMI luved the title, and all the different genres
sallys3/4 4:46 PMI finished the book in one day
MaryF3/4 4:46 PMme too!
tlink3/4 4:46 PMme too!
tlink3/4 4:46 PMthat's another clue it was a good book!
michellec3/4 4:46 PMi thought about this that maybe the book should have been called everything but the truth
tlink3/4 4:46 PMoooooh...that's interesting!
sallys3/4 4:46 PMoh, that would have been a good title
MaryF3/4 4:47 PMhow did philip's parents interpret the whole situation?
sallys3/4 4:47 PMThey didn't think it was fair
tlink3/4 4:47 PMi know...b/c when ihear the title, i think of a courtroom... but i guess it kind of was like someone was on trial, and there were all kinds of diff. witnesses telling totally diff stories
michellec3/4 4:47 PMdo you like the two questions posed at the front of the book?
michellec3/4 4:48 PM"do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" "does anyone say no?"
tlink3/4 4:48 PMwell...i mean, it would be hard to lie in a courtroom, and honestly admit that "no, i'm not gonna tell the truth"
michellec3/4 4:48 PMi really liked that
MaryF3/4 4:48 PMI thought those were a great intro./hook to the book
sallys3/4 4:48 PMyeah
michellec3/4 4:48 PMit was a great hook
michellec3/4 4:48 PMit made me think
tlink3/4 4:48 PMright yea it did
michellec3/4 4:48 PMbefore i even starting reading
tlink3/4 4:50 PMi started to think that this situation could have even been takent o court it got so huge!
sallys3/4 4:50 PMthat would have been an interesting chapter to read
tlink3/4 4:50 PMhaha yea
michellec3/4 4:50 PMyeah
michellec3/4 4:50 PMthat would have made the book longer though
michellec3/4 4:50 PM:)
sallys3/4 4:50 PMand it wouldn't have had the same ending
michellec3/4 4:50 PMyeah
sallys3/4 4:51 PMand the propaganda would have gone NUTS
tlink3/4 4:51 PMoh gosh yea
michellec3/4 4:51 PMi really like the way it ended
tlink3/4 4:51 PMit would have been just crazy!
michellec3/4 4:51 PMin my mind phillip probably didn't do so well in his new school
MaryF3/4 4:52 PMI think he probably had a lot to deal with since I'm sure many of the kids in his new school had heard the story on the news
sallys3/4 4:52 PMmaybe, maybe not. We didn't hear alot about it
tlink3/4 4:52 PMyea i woudln't think so...he had a very rough first day, probably faced some ridicule, not to mention it was such a chaotic event, he had a lot on his mind
MaryF3/4 4:52 PMI think it is up to the reader to decide how he performs at his new school
michellec3/4 4:53 PMyeah, that is what makes it such a great ending
sallys3/4 4:53 PMI like it when the author leaves stuff up to your imagination
tlink3/4 4:54 PMtrue...b/c the other part of the book there wasn't much imagination
michellec3/4 4:54 PMyeah, then you can let the story go anywhere you want it to
tlink3/4 4:54 PMit was all layed out for us
sallys3/4 4:54 PMyeah
tlink3/4 4:54 PMok, we're gonna take a lil break :o)
sallys3/4 4:54 PMyeah
michellec3/4 4:54 PMin my ending, phillip would leave the military school
sallys3/4 4:54 PMMrs. Hale just said that

DeborahD3/4 5:04 PMhehe ok, what we're gonna do is talk specifically about the notes
sliles3/4 5:04 PMto the left?
DeborahD3/4 5:04 PMthe notes section is one of the tabs on the box just left of this box
DeborahD3/4 5:04 PMthere's the map of the Moo house
DeborahD3/4 5:04 PMand then notes... so if you click on the notes, then a copy of the transcript from the Jake Barlow Talk show will appear

AnnaR3/4 5:05 PMis this where I should be?
lindsayj3/4 5:05 PMI found her:)
DeborahD3/4 5:05 PMyup
sliles3/4 5:05 PMyes
lindsayj3/4 5:05 PMyup, you're in the right place
ceciliad3/4 5:05 PMso...
sliles3/4 5:05 PManna what you need to do is click on the notes tab

AnnaR3/4 5:05 PMok
AnnaR3/4 5:05 PM...
sliles3/4 5:05 PMto the left, right beside the tab that says "map"
sliles3/4 5:05 PMwe're going to read and discuss this
AnnaR3/4 5:05 PMaha
AnnaR3/4 5:05 PMgotcha
sliles3/4 5:05 PMbased on the questions in the description box, right?
lindsayj3/4 5:05 PMoh yeah
AnnaR3/4 5:06 PMI guess so
DeborahD3/4 5:06 PMit's on page 128 of the book give or take if you want to look at the book
jenniferg3/4 5:06 PMdo you remember the talk show in the book?
sliles3/4 5:06 PMi do
sliles3/4 5:06 PMi hated that guy
AnnaR3/4 5:06 PMyes I do
AnnaR3/4 5:06 PMhe was so... mean
sliles3/4 5:07 PMwell everything was filtered how he wanted it to be
AnnaR3/4 5:07 PMyes
sliles3/4 5:07 PMwhen one person called in support of ms. narwin he cut them off
ceciliad3/4 5:07 PMok
ceciliad3/4 5:07 PMi got so..
jenniferg3/4 5:07 PMand the callers only really got one side of teh story\
DeborahD3/4 5:07 PMright
AnnaR3/4 5:07 PMhe dictated what he wanted them to know
AnnaR3/4 5:07 PMand think
jenniferg3/4 5:07 PMso they all sounded like they haterd Mrs. Narwin
lindsayj3/4 5:07 PMI've never heard anyone that one sided on the radio.
AnnaR3/4 5:07 PMnot even Rush Limbaugh
AnnaR3/4 5:07 PMhaha
lindsayj3/4 5:07 PMHe bascially told the one guy who was supporting Miss Narwin to shut up.
sliles3/4 5:07 PMoh they're out there
ceciliad3/4 5:07 PMi thihk that is sooo funny that they made such a big deal about it on the talk so
sliles3/4 5:07 PMi was thinking of rush!
ceciliad3/4 5:07 PMshow
AnnaR3/4 5:08 PMyes. they were like.... this is an outrage!
AnnaR3/4 5:08 PMand he was just humming
ceciliad3/4 5:08 PMyea
ceciliad3/4 5:08 PMi know
sliles3/4 5:08 PMpeople sit and wait for things to get mad about, you know?
ceciliad3/4 5:08 PMbut he was sort of singing
ceciliad3/4 5:08 PMbut ya know
ceciliad3/4 5:08 PMtaht was his side of the sotry
AnnaR3/4 5:08 PMyeah. haha
DeborahD3/4 5:08 PMso how do you think the truth is represented by the media?
jenniferg3/4 5:08 PMthe show completely blew it out of proportion\
AnnaR3/4 5:08 PMsome people just want to find fault
sliles3/4 5:08 PMit's not
sliles3/4 5:08 PMhaha
ceciliad3/4 5:08 PMit was like twised around
lindsayj3/4 5:09 PMwe talked about the media for awhile in our last room
jenniferg3/4 5:09 PMwell suck it up :)

ceciliad3/4 5:10 PMuh....
jenniferg3/4 5:10 PMyeah
ceciliad3/4 5:10 PMyes
DeborahD3/4 5:10 PMyes
ceciliad3/4 5:10 PMwell
AnnaR3/4 5:10 PMthe media was the problem in the story
ceciliad3/4 5:10 PMthey reall
ceciliad3/4 5:10 PMy
AnnaR3/4 5:10 PMit really blew everything out of proportion
sliles3/4 5:11 PMi think the media told people what they wanted to hear
ceciliad3/4 5:11 PMtwised it round so that every thing was wrond
DeborahD3/4 5:11 PMright
jenniferg3/4 5:11 PMyes and dont you think that happens alot today??
ceciliad3/4 5:11 PM*worng
sliles3/4 5:11 PMall the time
AnnaR3/4 5:11 PMyes. people like to hear about things that are outrageous
ceciliad3/4 5:11 PMit was likr a tabloid
DeborahD3/4 5:11 PMwell in the radio host says, "kicked out of school for patriotism"
sliles3/4 5:11 PMand they ate it up
DeborahD3/4 5:11 PMbut philip was suspended
DeborahD3/4 5:11 PMright
AnnaR3/4 5:11 PMyes
ceciliad3/4 5:11 PMyes
AnnaR3/4 5:11 PMthey try to make everything more sensational
sliles3/4 5:11 PMit makes it really easy to believe waht you want to hear
jenniferg3/4 5:11 PMthe thing is that the radio show onlu got a piece of the story and ran off with it
sliles3/4 5:12 PMand to then get outraged about it
AnnaR3/4 5:12 PMthats what most radio talk shows do
jenniferg3/4 5:12 PMalmost making it up as they went
lindsayj3/4 5:12 PMand that was the story that was wired across the country
ceciliad3/4 5:12 PMbut well it was pariotism but they made it sound like he was yelling and scremming it
ceciliad3/4 5:12 PMlike the song
AnnaR3/4 5:12 PMI think he was just trying to be annoying and get out of the class
ceciliad3/4 5:12 PMbut he was really like humming
AnnaR3/4 5:12 PMhe wasn't really that patriotic at all
sliles3/4 5:12 PMyes he was
ceciliad3/4 5:12 PMwell
ceciliad3/4 5:12 PMi guess that was part of it
DeborahD3/4 5:12 PMit's arguable on both sides
ceciliad3/4 5:13 PMbut then her really got into it
lindsayj3/4 5:13 PMyes
sliles3/4 5:13 PMi absolutely think phillip was only doing it to annoy ms. narwin
DeborahD3/4 5:13 PMwhere in the book can you say that he's patriotic or not?
sliles3/4 5:13 PMand that it had nothing to do with patriotism
lindsayj3/4 5:13 PMhe didn't even know the words!
jenniferg3/4 5:13 PMi think he was humming to perhaps get on Mrs. Narwins nerves for revenge of not making the track tema
ceciliad3/4 5:13 PMit is ok i if call phillip "phil"
DeborahD3/4 5:13 PMlol
DeborahD3/4 5:13 PMsure
AnnaR3/4 5:13 PMwell. when he was humming, he was just doing it to get a rise out of her, in my opinion
lindsayj3/4 5:13 PMif its ok with him!
jenniferg3/4 5:13 PMthen after it bugged her he kept on
ceciliad3/4 5:13 PMit is easyer to writer
sliles3/4 5:13 PMyes
sliles3/4 5:14 PMand when his parents offered him the support that they did that encouraged him as well
AnnaR3/4 5:14 PMif he had been doing it just for himself, I dont think he would have kept doing it
AnnaR3/4 5:14 PMthey might even have changed his mind about what he was doing some
DeborahD3/4 5:14 PMok
sliles3/4 5:14 PMyes i think they did
AnnaR3/4 5:14 PMafter they were so opinionated about it, he cared more
lindsayj3/4 5:14 PMyes
sliles3/4 5:14 PMwell he knew that he wouldn't get in trouble at home
jenniferg3/4 5:15 PMi agree, he knew his parents agreed with him no matter what
sliles3/4 5:15 PMi dont think he so much cared but he knew he'd be able to get away with it with his parent's support
AnnaR3/4 5:15 PMyes
lindsayj3/4 5:15 PMespecially since his dad was trying to go to extreme lengths to build their relationship
DeborahD3/4 5:15 PMor, like cecilia mentioned earlier, he could have gotten in trouble at home but didn't tell the entire truth so that he wouldn't
jenniferg3/4 5:15 PMhis dad was constantly telling him that he should stand up for what he believed
ceciliad3/4 5:15 PMyeah i see
ceciliad3/4 5:15 PMyes
ceciliad3/4 5:15 PMand his mom was lkike no
ceciliad3/4 5:16 PMi though it would be other way arounf
sliles3/4 5:16 PMi said earlier that i thougth his dad offered that encouragement because he was living vicariously through phillip
ceciliad3/4 5:16 PM*around
sliles3/4 5:16 PMbecause he was being pushed around at his job
AnnaR3/4 5:16 PMyeah. he wanted to make sure that phillip did what he wished he had done before
sliles3/4 5:16 PMand that's why he told phillip to stand up for himself
AnnaR3/4 5:16 PMif that makes sense
DeborahD3/4 5:16 PMthat's an interesting point
sliles3/4 5:16 PMit does make sense
ceciliad3/4 5:16 PMyes it is
AnnaR3/4 5:16 PMI think that his dad wished that he was standing up for himself more at work, but he didnt feel brave enough to
sliles3/4 5:17 PMyes
sliles3/4 5:17 PMi agree
ceciliad3/4 5:17 PMi just don't think that his dad should have not have pushed him that hard to stand up he needs to do that on his own
DeborahD3/4 5:17 PMdo you think Philip would have if he could have?
AnnaR3/4 5:17 PMyeah. he wasn't really standing up for what HE believec, he was standing up for his dad's beliefs
ceciliad3/4 5:17 PMyeah
ceciliad3/4 5:17 PMi think so
sliles3/4 5:18 PMi think that if phillip had been left to his own devices, the situation wouldn't have escalated like it did
ceciliad3/4 5:18 PMif he really wants to
ceciliad3/4 5:18 PMya know aht i mean
ceciliad3/4 5:18 PMfor sho
ceciliad3/4 5:18 PMhahaa
ceciliad3/4 5:18 PMsorry
ceciliad3/4 5:18 PMi had to say that
ceciliad3/4 5:18 PMhahhaahhahaha
DeborahD3/4 5:19 PMlol
AnnaR3/4 5:19 PMphillip cared about what his dad thought, I think, and started doing what he said
DeborahD3/4 5:19 PMok
lindsayj3/4 5:19 PMhe didn't want to disappoint him
ceciliad3/4 5:19 PMi think that phil really knew what he wanted
AnnaR3/4 5:19 PMyes, I think he saw that this was important to his dad
DeborahD3/4 5:19 PMDo you think Philip is to blame for not telling the truth or his parents for telling their side
sliles3/4 5:19 PMi think that philip already knew that he had disappointed him but not being on the track team
sliles3/4 5:19 PMand he wasn't able to tell him the whole truth because he was ashamed about his grades
ceciliad3/4 5:20 PMyeah
ceciliad3/4 5:20 PMbut his dad was like living thourgh him
sliles3/4 5:20 PMyes
AnnaR3/4 5:20 PMphillip was partially to blame, his parents didnt know exactly what had happened, so they had to base their views on the little that he told them
ceciliad3/4 5:20 PMyeha
ceciliad3/4 5:20 PMyou are right
DeborahD3/4 5:20 PMok
ceciliad3/4 5:20 PMhe didn't tell the whole story
jenniferg3/4 5:20 PMno
lindsayj3/4 5:20 PMand in the end, the whole thing just ended up being silly because he didn't even know the words
sliles3/4 5:20 PMno one really did
lindsayj3/4 5:20 PMI liked that ending:)
ceciliad3/4 5:20 PMme toooooo
sliles3/4 5:20 PManna told me she thought it was sad
DeborahD3/4 5:20 PM=P
AnnaR3/4 5:20 PMI thought it was a good ending. it kind of summed up the book
AnnaR3/4 5:21 PMbut it WAS sad
sliles3/4 5:21 PMit was
DeborahD3/4 5:21 PMI definitely agree with you Anna
jenniferg3/4 5:21 PMthe ending was great but there was alot more i wanted to know
lindsayj3/4 5:21 PMit would have been interesting to read that line first and then read the book
sliles3/4 5:21 PMlike what?
AnnaR3/4 5:21 PMthe story wouldnt' ahve been so meaning ful with out it, though
ceciliad3/4 5:21 PMit was really really sad
lindsayj3/4 5:21 PMyou would have thought the whole thing was even more ridiculous
AnnaR3/4 5:21 PMyeah
ceciliad3/4 5:21 PMyeah
jenniferg3/4 5:21 PMlike what happened to Mrs. Narwin?
AnnaR3/4 5:22 PMshe went to florida to live with her sister
lindsayj3/4 5:22 PMshe had to leave
jenniferg3/4 5:22 PMdid Phil end up telling the truth?
sliles3/4 5:22 PMshe got pushed into "early retirement"
lindsayj3/4 5:22 PMand Phil had to go to private school
AnnaR3/4 5:22 PMI dont know
lindsayj3/4 5:22 PMno one won
sliles3/4 5:22 PMeactly
ceciliad3/4 5:22 PMthat was kind of a down side of the ending
jenniferg3/4 5:22 PMnope
sliles3/4 5:22 PMexactly
sliles3/4 5:22 PMlose lose situation
DeborahD3/4 5:22 PMI don't think he did except for when he admitted that he didn't know the words
AnnaR3/4 5:22 PMyeah. no one got what they wanted
ceciliad3/4 5:22 PMi think that she should have sadey thurr
lindsayj3/4 5:22 PMthe truth was never really straightened out simply because the parties involved left the school
jenniferg3/4 5:22 PMso that was good though
ceciliad3/4 5:22 PMyeah
AnnaR3/4 5:22 PMhe finally realized, I think, just how bad things had gotten
ceciliad3/4 5:22 PMyoure right
DeborahD3/4 5:23 PMyeah
AnnaR3/4 5:23 PMand how stupid this whole thing was, and the reader does too, when they find out he doesnt know the words
sliles3/4 5:23 PMi know and he just seems so oblivious up until the end
ceciliad3/4 5:23 PMHE MADE A TEACHER GET AN EARLY RETIERMENT
DeborahD3/4 5:23 PMhe even wrote in a diary entry that he didn't know what the telegrams he was getting were really for
ceciliad3/4 5:23 PMWHAT IS UP WITH THAT?
DeborahD3/4 5:23 PMhehe good point Cecilia
DeborahD3/4 5:23 PMdo you think she had a choice in the matter?
ceciliad3/4 5:23 PMstand of for the teachers rights
jenniferg3/4 5:23 PMwell the story had gotten so twitsted that everyone thought she was wrong
lindsayj3/4 5:23 PMI hope I never get pushed into an early retirement
AnnaR3/4 5:23 PMI think she did, but she thought that the best thing to do was to leave
jenniferg3/4 5:24 PMshe needed to get away from it all
ceciliad3/4 5:24 PMyeah
AnnaR3/4 5:24 PMshe saw that her staying would just prolong the problems
sliles3/4 5:24 PMi don't knwo i have a feeling that the school gave her an ultimatum
DeborahD3/4 5:24 PMperhaps
sliles3/4 5:24 PMlike leave now or else...
AnnaR3/4 5:24 PMyes maybe
ceciliad3/4 5:24 PMSHE WAS OLD
AnnaR3/4 5:24 PMcecilia's hyper now
lindsayj3/4 5:24 PMwell, she did try to tell her story to that newspaper reporter
jenniferg3/4 5:24 PMbut a good teacher
lindsayj3/4 5:24 PMbut he said he didn't have room to run it
lindsayj3/4 5:24 PMI wish I was hyper/
ceciliad3/4 5:24 PMi am leteraly fdalling on teh floor with laughter
ceciliad3/4 5:25 PMhahahahhahha
DeborahD3/4 5:25 PMdo you think that it would have been a problem for her to stay even though her students like her?
lindsayj3/4 5:25 PMI need sugar
ceciliad3/4 5:25 PMhaha
AnnaR3/4 5:25 PMbut the reporter said that people really didnt care about her
AnnaR3/4 5:25 PMso they didnt print it
jenniferg3/4 5:25 PMwhat is so funny?
ceciliad3/4 5:25 PMyeah i knoe
lindsayj3/4 5:25 PMyou
ceciliad3/4 5:25 PMum..
AnnaR3/4 5:25 PMthat kind of goes along with what we were saying before, people like reading about the problems and bad things
ceciliad3/4 5:25 PMnot really sure
lindsayj3/4 5:25 PMand that was sad that they didn't even give her a chance
ceciliad3/4 5:25 PMwhat is soooo funny
