| dahyunj | 3/4 4:20 PM | longer |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:20 PM | i think |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:20 PM | ohh |
| jennym | 3/4 4:20 PM | well we are suppose to start discussing the book now |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:20 PM | ok soo, about Nothing But the Truth... |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:21 PM | did you think it was easy to read? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:21 PM | yes |
| jennym | 3/4 4:21 PM | what did you think about the book? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:21 PM | it was kind of weird |
| jennym | 3/4 4:22 PM | who did you feel more pity for? miss norwin or philip |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:22 PM | narwin |
| jennym | 3/4 4:22 PM | me too |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:22 PM | so did i |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:22 PM | kind of |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:22 PM | phillip was kind of lying... |
| jennym | 3/4 4:22 PM | i think she was really just upset with the school and her students with the whole grant thing and the rules did state to respect and be silent during the playing |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:23 PM | i don't think anyone told the "whole" truth |
| jennym | 3/4 4:23 PM | he was lying and he seemed very arrogant |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:23 PM | yeah, he annoyed me |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:23 PM | everyone liked her except phillip |
| jennym | 3/4 4:23 PM | very good point colleen |
| jennym | 3/4 4:23 PM | yep |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:23 PM | it was like they both took their frustrations out on each other |
| jennym | 3/4 4:23 PM | he seemed too caught up in his ability to run and being a prankster |
| jennym | 3/4 4:23 PM | on the same day |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:23 PM | and then everything got blown out of proportion |
| jennym | 3/4 4:23 PM | exactly |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:23 PM | yeah |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:24 PM | yeah |
| jennym | 3/4 4:24 PM | what did you think about how the book gave different people's views and opinions? |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:24 PM | so by reading the book, could you see from other people's perspectives |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:25 PM | ? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:25 PM | um i'm not sure |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:25 PM | the book was like kind of reading a play |
| jennym | 3/4 4:25 PM | did you like how you knew what the different characters were thinking |
| jennym | 3/4 4:25 PM | yes it was |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:25 PM | each chapter i felt like i was there |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:25 PM | listening to the characters talk |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:25 PM | yeah |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:26 PM | you can understand each character |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:26 PM | so during one chapter i would feel one way about a character and then the next i would feel different, because the perspectives switched |
| jennym | 3/4 4:26 PM | exactly and then get a feel for what exactly they thought and felt |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:26 PM | so then what is the truth |
| jennym | 3/4 4:26 PM | i think it helped bring about the whole truth |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:27 PM | if everyone can only tell what they know, then that is different for every person |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:27 PM | but it still could be true, just to them though |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:27 PM | if you look from someone else's point of view then it is different, you think? |
| jennym | 3/4 4:27 PM | i think the book illustrated how hard it is for like detectives and the police to gather information without getting an unbiased point of view |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:28 PM | yeah |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:28 PM | and the reporters |
| jennym | 3/4 4:28 PM | daniel you there? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:28 PM | yeah |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:28 PM | i just can't type fast |
| jennym | 3/4 4:28 PM | well you need to give us your input here too..we dont' judge |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:28 PM | and think fast |
| jennym | 3/4 4:28 PM | oh ok |
| jennym | 3/4 4:29 PM | ok well why dont' you tell us something important you thought about the book |
| jennym | 3/4 4:29 PM | we will wait |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:29 PM | i pretty much think about the same thing |
| jennym | 3/4 4:29 PM | do you have any other thoughts about the book? would you read a novel that was written like that again? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:30 PM | maybe i can understand well |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:30 PM | it wasn't one sided story |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:30 PM | yeah thats true |
| jennym | 3/4 4:30 PM | yes it is |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:30 PM | that is what i liked about the book |
| jennym | 3/4 4:31 PM | does your high school play the national anthem during the announcements |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:31 PM | i could kind of judge for myself and have my own opinions |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:31 PM | in korea they play korean national anthem |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:31 PM | do you have to be quiet and respectful like in the book? |
| jennym | 3/4 4:31 PM | are you allowed to sing along? |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:31 PM | or can you do whatever you want? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:31 PM | no, we have to sing |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:31 PM | have to |
| jennym | 3/4 4:31 PM | interesting |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:32 PM | ohh wow |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:32 PM | what if you dont sing? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:32 PM | i don't know it never happened |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:32 PM | oh ok |
| jennym | 3/4 4:33 PM | do you have teachers that you don't particularly like? like philip didn't like miss narwin? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:33 PM | mrs.smith |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:33 PM | geometry teacher |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:33 PM | her class is too hgard |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:33 PM | *hard |
| jennym | 3/4 4:33 PM | are you not a math person? |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:33 PM | ew, i never liked math |
| jennym | 3/4 4:34 PM | wow you are learning geometry in 8th grade? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:34 PM | well i use to like math until i met mrs.smith |
| jennym | 3/4 4:34 PM | i didn't have that option until 9th |
| jennym | 3/4 4:34 PM | aww that sucks |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:34 PM | daniel did you notice the different genres in the book? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:35 PM | not sure |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:35 PM | like the school memos |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:35 PM | and the newspaper article |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:35 PM | and the radio talk show? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:35 PM | just conversation between kids |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:36 PM | diary |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:36 PM | do you remember reading the memos that talked about suspending philip |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:36 PM | yeah that too! |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:36 PM | i forgot about the diary |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:36 PM | letter between narwin and her sister |
| jennym | 3/4 4:36 PM | thats what we mean about the different genres...how the text was portrayed from different views and in different formats in case you were wondering |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:37 PM | yeah the letter too! good job |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:37 PM | do you think they all told the truth but just came from different perspectives? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:37 PM | thanks |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:37 PM | yes |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:37 PM | or do you think someone lied in one of them |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:38 PM | philip thought he was suspended for singing |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:38 PM | not disturbance |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:38 PM | did he tell people he was actually singing? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:38 PM | well he said he was humming |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:38 PM | i think |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:39 PM | yeah i think so too |
| jennym | 3/4 4:39 PM | true..i think he mis-interpreted his suspension and then just thoughts of that took a different course |
| jennym | 3/4 4:39 PM | yes he was humming |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:39 PM | someone changed the humming to singing...i can't remember who |
| jennym | 3/4 4:39 PM | i don't either but the story got blown way out of proportion by the media |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:39 PM | news reporter or philip's dad |
| jennym | 3/4 4:39 PM | do you think they do that a lot? |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:39 PM | i think that philip lied saying he was being patriotic and wanted to sing along but then in the end he didnt even know the words |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:40 PM | yeah |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:40 PM | what do you think about the media and how they tell stories? |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:40 PM | should
you believe everything you read? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:40 PM | no |
| jennym | 3/4 4:40 PM | does the media play a big part in influencing the public over in korea? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:40 PM | then you have to believe bible and evolution |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:41 PM | it's so hard not to though, like i read the paper this morning and wondered if this was really true or not |
| jennym | 3/4 4:41 PM | they tend to make you question yourself and your values |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:41 PM | most people in korea believe most of things they read |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:41 PM | i think |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:41 PM | i don't |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:42 PM | maybe people are more honest over there? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:42 PM | not really |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:42 PM | oh ok |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:42 PM | they lie a lot |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:42 PM | haha |
| jennym | 3/4 4:42 PM | lol |
| jennym | 3/4 4:42 PM | really? |
| jennym | 3/4 4:42 PM | more so then americans/ |
| jennym | 3/4 4:42 PM | ?* |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:42 PM | people say if you are good at lying you can governor |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:42 PM | kind of people |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:42 PM | i believe that |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:43 PM | like the politician in the book |
| jennym | 3/4 4:43 PM | yes that is often believed...b/c many politicians have to lie to convince the public to vote for htem |
| jennym | 3/4 4:43 PM | them* |
| jennym | 3/4 4:43 PM | yep |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:43 PM | he used others lies to make people think he cared |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:43 PM | and get more votes |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:43 PM | to win |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:43 PM | philip's neighbor |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:43 PM | right |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:43 PM | ? |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:44 PM | yeah |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:44 PM | did he even try to go to the school to get someone elses perspective? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:44 PM | no |
| jennym | 3/4 4:44 PM | daniel do you find that with the two of asking different questions and outnumbering you..you are overwhelmed? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:44 PM | yes |
| jennym | 3/4 4:45 PM | well we will back off asking so many questions then...i apologize |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:45 PM | so what do you want to talk about? |
| jennym | 3/4 4:45 PM | i think we both are very interested in what you think |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:45 PM | what made you mad? or interested you a lot? |
| jennym | 3/4 4:45 PM | it will get even more overwhelming when we join a different room with even more people |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:46 PM | i think it was interesting how what people say |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:46 PM | change |
| jennym | 3/4 4:46 PM | it was |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:46 PM | why do you think people changed what they said? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:47 PM | well they don't realize it is not true just by changing little bit |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:47 PM | yeah |
| jennym | 3/4 4:47 PM | do you think they do it on purpose? |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:47 PM | the more information they hear the more they act like they know whats going on |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:48 PM | lots of people do that |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:48 PM | yeah |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:48 PM | so |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:48 PM | what kind of audience was this novel written for do you think? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:49 PM | all of people |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:49 PM | i think so too |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:49 PM | do you think one group of people or one character was left out |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:49 PM | or misrepresented |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:50 PM | i am not sure |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:50 PM | i think the school was |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:50 PM | the teachers i mean |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:50 PM | because philip's parents got so into it |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:51 PM | especially his dad |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:51 PM | they talked about it to everyone, like the media and their next door neighbor |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:51 PM | yeah |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:51 PM | itwas like spreading a rumor |
| jennym | 3/4 4:51 PM | they blew it way out of proportion |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:51 PM | they thought it was true |
| jennym | 3/4 4:51 PM | some people don't recognize the consequences of their actions |
| jennym | 3/4 4:51 PM | people love to hear gossip |
| jennym | 3/4 4:51 PM | |
| jennym | 3/4 4:51 PM | especially untrue gossip |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:52 PM | their son giving them wrong imformation |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:52 PM | yeah |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:52 PM | so no one was truthful from the beginning |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:52 PM | and it kind of snowballed |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:53 PM | do you think philip should feel bad or regret anything he did? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:53 PM | yes |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:53 PM | like what |
| jennym | 3/4 4:53 PM | why? |
| dahyunj | 3/4 4:53 PM | i mean he got narwin resign |
| colleenp | 3/4 4:54 PM | that's true |
| jennym | 3/4 4:54 PM | ok it's break time |
| jennym | 3/4 4:54 PM | before you get overwhelmed even more |
