Nothing But The Truth(reflections)

I feel that this is a very sad story. In the end, Phillip was transferred to a school that he did not like and Ms. Narwin was fired. Also, the school failed to get the budget. This ending is not good to everyone. This all happened because Phillip had refused to explain his problem to his parents. Perhaps if Phillip had told his parents about his troubles, he would not have needed to resort to such method. Also, I feel that Dr.Palleni is a very uncaring and unreasonable woman. All she wants is for people to do as she wishes. For example, she refused to listen to Phillip's explanation on why he was singing the national anthem which was against the school rules. Also, she had dismissed Ms. Narwin because she felt that she would cause the school to fail to get the budget that they required. But in the end, the school still failed to get the budget. Finally, I feel that Ms. Narwin perhaps was a bit to insensitive. When Phillip had been disrespectful, she should have been able to sense that there was something wrong with Phillip Malloy. Then, she could talk to him about his problem and probably solve the problem between them. If this had happened, the story might not have resulted in such an unhappy ending for all of them.
