Nothing but the truth #3

Title: Nothing But The Truth

1. The ending of this story really surprised me in an awkward way. First of all, Phillip did not get caught up in the whole matter. Secondly, i thought Phillip was going to go out with Allison, and getting switched to a PRIVATE SCHOOL!!!! I was kind of expecting this ending, but at the same time i thought it would be a happy ending. The ending of this story is very hard to explain, because it sort of shocked me. He got Ms.Narwin, the teacher he likes mad at him, and he had people across America cheer him on. He has gotten himself in alot of trouble and he has America cheering him on.

2. This book would of been way better if the author didn't put so much frustrating content or emotional content in this book. I still like this book very much, but it has sort of changed the way i think. I think Phillip should be more attentive and realize that there is a problem, and he should solve it. I don't like how Phillip dishonestly told his parents about how he felt about Ms.Narwin, I think Ms.Narwin is a pretty good teacher and she has alot of students to back her up.

3.Did you honestly expect this ending, were you shocked (like me)? why or why not?

1. So far in the story, it isn't looking very good for Phillip. His teachers are still getting him in trouble for singing the star spangle banner. Just like the beginning of the story, he still cant try out for track which is devastating for him because he loves track and he's good at it. I think Phillip should be really mad at the teachers, because they get him in trouble for tiny little things. One thing is he got suspended for singing star spangle banner in class, which is the craziest thing I've ever heard. I always laugh when a teacher gets mad a Phillip because its funny when the teacher just flat out hate Phillip and tries to get him in trouble for the smallest things.

2.One thing in the story that was very funny was when the new reporter got that story and then got the assistant principle in trouble. Right after i realized that the superintendent was pissed, i was dying to see the look on his face because i knew it would of been awesome. All i want to know now is if the assistant principle will get fired or not.

3.Do you think Phillip will get in worst trouble throughout the story, leading to even expulsion ?

1. so far in the book i understood what the characters in the story felt. When Philip was excluded from track because he was failing English class, i could really feel his pain and disappointment because he really wanted to try out. I've been through allot of experiences involving getting excluded from sports because of certain reasons ( not grades).

2.There are many characters in the story that are very interesting but the character i like the most is Phillip. i like Phillip because he is a very jockish outgoing person. Phillip thinks he is very clever, and because of that he is failing school. So far in the story i learned that Phillip and Ms.Narwin do not get along at all.

3. why do you think track is so important to Phillip?


3. I think that track is really important to Phillip because it the only time in his life where he can just forget about everything and not fail.
