ceciliad3/4 4:21 PMhow about you
erin3/4 4:22 PMwho was your favorite character?
ceciliad3/4 4:22 PM?
jenniferg3/4 4:22 PMi liked the book alot
DeborahD3/4 4:22 PMit's different from what I'm used to but I thought it was interesting
ChristinL3/4 4:22 PMi thought it was pretty good
erin3/4 4:22 PMI liked it to
ceciliad3/4 4:22 PMi like phillip
jenniferg3/4 4:22 PMi dont really have a fav character
ChristinL3/4 4:23 PMwhy did you like phillip?
ceciliad3/4 4:23 PMhe stood up for waht her though was right
erin3/4 4:23 PMI guess I liked Phillip becouse he was strong throughout the entire situation
ceciliad3/4 4:23 PMhe didn't let mrs. narwin get in the way
DeborahD3/4 4:23 PMto be honest I really liked Miss Narwin
jenniferg3/4 4:23 PMbut do you think that Mrs. Narwin was wrong?
erin3/4 4:24 PMdo you think Mrs. Narwin was did the right thing by quitting?
ChristinL3/4 4:24 PMi liked mrs. narwin too
ceciliad3/4 4:24 PMwell
ceciliad3/4 4:24 PMnot really
ceciliad3/4 4:24 PMi though she had her reasons
ceciliad3/4 4:24 PMbut she was my seond favortie
DeborahD3/4 4:24 PM:)
ceciliad3/4 4:24 PMlol
ChristinL3/4 4:24 PMi think that she probably should have tried to understand why phillip was acting out instead of just sending him out of the room
erin3/4 4:24 PMdo you ever see things happening like this at your school, but on a smaller scale
ceciliad3/4 4:24 PMyeah
ceciliad3/4 4:24 PMdefinatly
jenniferg3/4 4:25 PMhas something like this ever happened to you?
erin3/4 4:25 PMi think many times teachers just send the kids out of the room without really knowing why they were acting up in the first place
jenniferg3/4 4:25 PMwhere a student thought the teacher disliked them?
ceciliad3/4 4:25 PMlike in what way? getting sent out of the room
ceciliad3/4 4:25 PM?
erin3/4 4:25 PMor to the office
jenniferg3/4 4:25 PMwell anything
ceciliad3/4 4:25 PMno
ceciliad3/4 4:25 PMat least..
erin3/4 4:25 PMgetting in trouble for doing something you didnt do
ceciliad3/4 4:25 PMwell no
ceciliad3/4 4:25 PMhaha
ceciliad3/4 4:26 PMnope
jenniferg3/4 4:26 PMis the star spangled banner played in the morning at your school?
ceciliad3/4 4:26 PMno'
erin3/4 4:26 PMI did once, I was sent to the principals office for erasing the chalkboard that had questions written on it --- But I did not do it
ceciliad3/4 4:26 PMthe plegde
ceciliad3/4 4:26 PMoooooo
erin3/4 4:27 PMwhat about at assemblies? Is the pledge of allegiance ever said?
jenniferg3/4 4:27 PMhaha
ceciliad3/4 4:27 PMbad girl...
ceciliad3/4 4:27 PMhhaha
erin3/4 4:27 PMi know
ceciliad3/4 4:27 PMhehe
erin3/4 4:27 PMi was in 4th grade \
ceciliad3/4 4:27 PMawwww
DeborahD3/4 4:27 PMI'm not going to talk about what I did in the 4th grade
ceciliad3/4 4:27 PMhaha
ceciliad3/4 4:27 PMi personally didn'
ceciliad3/4 4:27 PMt
ceciliad3/4 4:27 PMlike the 4th grade
jenniferg3/4 4:27 PMok my question is why did the author use more than 1 narrator?
jenniferg3/4 4:28 PMi didnt either!
jenniferg3/4 4:28 PMi had a weird teacher
ceciliad3/4 4:28 PMwell..
ceciliad3/4 4:28 PMi liked that differnt points of view
jenniferg3/4 4:28 PMyes
erin3/4 4:29 PMi think the author used more than one narrator to allow the reader to see what was going on from each characters side
ceciliad3/4 4:29 PMit gave the story more unf
ceciliad3/4 4:29 PMya know what i mean
ChristinL3/4 4:29 PMwould you rather read a story with many points of view like this one, or a regular narrative?
DeborahD3/4 4:29 PMheh
ceciliad3/4 4:29 PMi like the diffent points of view
erin3/4 4:29 PMi would prefer one narrator
ChristinL3/4 4:30 PMhow do you think the book would have been different if there was only one point of view?
DeborahD3/4 4:30 PMthe multiple points of view certainly keep the reader from choosing a side-- at one point, you want to cheer for Philip and then just pages later, you feel sorry for Miss Narwin
jenniferg3/4 4:30 PMi think the many narrators helped to reveal the truth
ceciliad3/4 4:30 PMwell having more than one narrator kind of makes it feel like a move
ceciliad3/4 4:30 PMMovie
jenniferg3/4 4:30 PMgood point
erin3/4 4:30 PMtrue
DeborahD3/4 4:31 PMwhere you get an omniscient narrator that provides you with information about everything, not just what Philip is thinking or Dr. Griffith is thinking
erin3/4 4:31 PMI hadnt really thought of it that way
jenniferg3/4 4:31 PMi hadnt thought about that before
jenniferg3/4 4:31 PMcan you give an example of a genre used and how it revealed the truth?
ChristinL3/4 4:32 PMwell all of the school memos definitely showed the administrations view point of the whole situation
ChristinL3/4 4:32 PMthey were just trying to cover a lot up i think
jenniferg3/4 4:32 PMyes definitely
jenniferg3/4 4:33 PMwhat about you Cecilia?
erin3/4 4:33 PMand the talk show was a way of showing you what people were saying about it
erin3/4 4:34 PMCecilia are you still there?
ceciliad3/4 4:35 PMyes
ceciliad3/4 4:35 PMsorry
ceciliad3/4 4:35 PMi was trying to do something
ceciliad3/4 4:35 PMhaha
jenniferg3/4 4:35 PMthats ok

ceciliad3/4 4:36 PMno
ceciliad3/4 4:36 PMso what werer we aksing >?
ceciliad3/4 4:36 PMsorry
jenniferg3/4 4:36 PMok
jenniferg3/4 4:36 PMcan you give an example of a genre used in teh book and how it helped to reveal truths?
ChristinL3/4 4:37 PMdo you know what genre means?
ceciliad3/4 4:38 PMyes
ceciliad3/4 4:38 PMthe
ceciliad3/4 4:38 PMconversations
ceciliad3/4 4:38 PMreally helped me
ceciliad3/4 4:38 PMunder satnd
erin3/4 4:39 PMHave you finsihed the book yet?
DeborahD3/4 4:40 PMI don't really know if you could say that there are several genres at work but that there are several narrators at work
ceciliad3/4 4:40 PMlike..
ceciliad3/4 4:40 PMyes i have finsihed the book
ceciliad3/4 4:40 PMthe end was said
ceciliad3/4 4:40 PM*sad
jenniferg3/4 4:40 PMwell genres is how it was introduced to us
ceciliad3/4 4:41 PMso..
ceciliad3/4 4:41 PMum..
DeborahD3/4 4:41 PMwell if you think of what a genre is, it's kinda like thinking about movies
DeborahD3/4 4:41 PMthere are romances, comedies, dramas, and thrillers
erin3/4 4:42 PMor anything for that matter
jenniferg3/4 4:42 PMa genre is any type of category for somehting
ChristinL3/4 4:42 PMyeah, so in the book there are conversations, radio shows, memos, letters
erin3/4 4:42 PMmusci, rap , counrty, classical, jazz
DeborahD3/4 4:42 PMyeah.. even the documents are like professional writing
ChristinL3/4 4:42 PMdoes that help to understand it better?
jenniferg3/4 4:42 PMlike in the book, the genres used are memos, phil's journal, the radio talk show
ceciliad3/4 4:42 PMthey are diffent parts of communtication
ChristinL3/4 4:42 PMyeah exactly!
DeborahD3/4 4:42 PMyeah

jenniferg3/4 4:44 PMyeah, and the letters helped us to see how Mrs. Narwin was feeling

DeborahD3/4 4:45 PMwe all have our days
ceciliad3/4 4:45 PMyeah
ChristinL3/4 4:45 PMdid you think that phillip really got to voice his opinion in those conversations?
ceciliad3/4 4:45 PMwell
ceciliad3/4 4:45 PM....
ceciliad3/4 4:45 PMi guess no
ceciliad3/4 4:45 PMbut
ceciliad3/4 4:46 PMthe pincepal kind of went on and on
ChristinL3/4 4:46 PMyeah he kind of made his own version of the story
erin3/4 4:46 PMevery time someone called him and asked him about it he changed his story
ceciliad3/4 4:46 PMi liked how his parents stuck by him
jenniferg3/4 4:47 PMyes but i felt that they didnt get to the bottom of the issue
ChristinL3/4 4:47 PMyeah, how do you think it would have been different if his parents hadn't stuck by him?
ceciliad3/4 4:47 PMi think that her would have rebelled more than he should
ceciliad3/4 4:47 PMHe
ceciliad3/4 4:47 PM*
DeborahD3/4 4:48 PMhowso? what do you Philip would have done?
erin3/4 4:48 PMyou think that he would have done something a little more drastic?
ceciliad3/4 4:48 PMlike he would have made it more of a big deal
ceciliad3/4 4:48 PMyeah
ceciliad3/4 4:49 PMjust a little more drastic
ceciliad3/4 4:49 PMblah
ceciliad3/4 4:49 PMmy hands hurt
ceciliad3/4 4:49 PMhaha
erin3/4 4:49 PMyou are getting tired?

jenniferg3/4 4:51 PMi have used mine
ceciliad3/4 4:51 PMwell
DeborahD3/4 4:51 PMWhy do you think Philip doesn't tell the whole truth to his parents?
ceciliad3/4 4:51 PMwhat question are we on>
ceciliad3/4 4:51 PM?
ceciliad3/4 4:51 PMi thiknk

ceciliad3/4 4:51 PMhe doesn
ceciliad3/4 4:51 PMt
ceciliad3/4 4:52 PMtell the whole truth because he is afraid of the reaction of his parents
ceciliad3/4 4:52 PMsorry so much space
DeborahD3/4 4:52 PMit's ok
ceciliad3/4 4:52 PMwhat do oyu think
DeborahD3/4 4:52 PMSo instead of getting in trouble for not doing well, he just tells them that Miss Narwin doesn't like him to avoid getting in trouble
ceciliad3/4 4:53 PMbacicly
jenniferg3/4 4:53 PMi just think that his dad was pushing for him to join the track team and be like him that Phillip didnt want to expose that as being the reason why he was having issues in school
ceciliad3/4 4:54 PMwell
jenniferg3/4 4:54 PMbc Phillip was upset about not being able to run track
