I do not feel that Phillip Malloy’s free speech rights were violated. There are multiple reasons for this. Philip was not singing to be patriotic, but instead to annoy his teacher Ms. Narwin. He was also warned multiple times to give the national anthem “quiet respect”. Once Phillip was in the principle’s office Phillip was even given a chance to apologize to his classmates for disturbing them during the national anthem, but he refused. These three facts are why Phillip Malloy’s free speech rights weren’t violated, and he was only singing to create a disturbance. In multiple places in the book, you can tell that Phillip Malloy was singing only to create a disturbance and not to be patriotic. During the story, Phillip sang during homeroom on 3 different occasions. The first one, when asked to stop, Phillip did indeed stopped singing. If Phillip did stop after the first day, he could be excused of being patriotic because if someone was actually patriotic, and was told to be quietly respectful, they would follow those instructions. Phillip on the other hand decided to continue in a disrespectful manner the next few days which means he only did it to annoy …show more content…
After the school finds out about what the media is saying and all of the fake news, the school authorities decide to interview some of the kids in Ms. Narwin’s class at the time. The first of all the kids to be interviewed was Ken. Ken was Philip’s friend, so he responded in such a way that defended Phillip, but he was exposed when he said he was able to hear Phillip singing, and the fact that he sits all the way across the room from him. The other person to be interviewed was Allison. Allison told the complete truth about how Phillip was doing it on purpose to annoy everyone. At the end, she even stated that she liked Ms.
We often find the public figures with their great and interesting body shape. It often makes people drooling and wants to get the secret for what they have done to get such the amazing body shape. Of course, it is because a lot of people experience the failed on their diet programs and exercises.
Philip is never really clear on his facts. He never tells his parents the real reason he isn’t going out for track. He completely lied when he said no one really even like Ms. Narwin. Ms. Narwin was also never out to get him, yet that’s what he told several people. Most importantly though, he never made it clear weather he was singing or humming the National Anthem. If he would have just made it clear that he was humming in the first place, patriotism might not have been such assumed intention. On page 35, 46, and 50-54, you see these deceptions.
The reason for blaming Philips parents are stated in chapter 9 page 28, Philip admits that Philip didn’t like Miss. Narwin and that she, Miss. Narwin had it in for him. This is also stated in page 32 that the teacher Miss. Narwin is supposedly has it in for him and that Philip could fail and take summer school. Dr. Joseph Palleni, Assistant Principle can also be blamed because in Dr. Palleni’s office, Dr. Palleni goes and talks to Philip the incident/ issue at hand.
When Philip is doing his homework during the national anthem Mr. Lunser states, “Is that yesterday's homework or today's your working on?”(page 7) Philip Malloy doesn't even take off 30 seconds of his homework to honor the National Anthem. This is verbal Irony because he claims that he is patriotic yet before Miss Narwin class he didn't even stand up or listen to the National Anthem when it was played. This quote also means that him humming along to the NA in Miss Narwins class was a new thing and it was not a habit that he does because he is patriotic. Philip wrote in his diary, “I can’t even stand looking at her. I Have to find a way to get transferred out.”(page 31) This means that he was trying to create a disturbance so that Miss Narwin would want him out of his class. This creates one of the main character vs character conflicts in the book. This quote also proves that he was just doing it because he hates Miss Narwin and not because he is patriotic. This makes Miss Narwin the antagonist in the character vs character conflict with
Dr. Seymour: Of course not.” This was said by the Harrison school superintendent though there is not a rule about not being able to sing the national anthem, there is a rule about not being able to make noises or sounds during the national anthem and Philip was doing just that. Quote 2: “It was just to myself. Not loud or anything, Philip said this to the assistant principal when he’d been sent to his office from Miss Narwin but this is a lie because later in the book one of Philip’s friends who witnessed it said that they could hear him from across the room and that he was
On December 3 Daniel Morgan reported to Greene's headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. At the start of the Revolution, Morgan, who had even fought in the French and Indian War, had served at the Siege of Boston. He was the colonists’ commander in this battle. Even though Morgan claimed to only have around 800 people on his side, other people have claimed that he had many more people than that. Morgan had a strategy. He would trick the British into thinking they had more power than they did. The plan worked perfectly. The British drove in strong lines, with knowledge of victory. But, American colonists slowly changed this battle to the favor of their side.
In the Declaration of Independence it states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (Jefferson 112). This explains that all U.S. citizens have the same rights and freedoms that everyone else is entitled to but it still allows citizens to have free thoughts and personal freedom. Whereas in Anthem you have no rights or

On page 83 Philip say “ she really hates me. Philip thinks that the only reason he got suspended was since she has it out for him. On page 73 ” Something between you and Miss Narwin Philip only hummed since Miss Narwin giving him an awful grade. On page 60” Philip leaven this room instantly”Philip has really annoyed her to a point of breaking she was yelling at him over how he was talking back to her. 212 Philip says “I don't know the words” When Philip says I don’t know the words you know that he was only doing it for the reason of the teacher.
In 1953, he chose to attend Syracuse University with the help of a friend, Ken Malloy, who also happened to be a lawyer and an alumni of Syracuse. Malloy was instrumental convincing businessmen to pool their money together to pay for his tuition until he could obtain a full athletic scholarship.

Twenty-one years ago this month, on September 6, 1992, the decomposed body of Christopher McCandless was discovered by moose hunters just outside the northern boundary of Denali National Park.

First, the punishment had fit the crime, Philip had an option to apologize or have a suspension.
Hello I am Gage Malloway this essay will be explaining why i want to be in the food industry.
Stephen, thank you for your post. I agree with your statements whole heartedly; however, take a look at the commentary of Matthew Henry (Concise) from the www.ccel.org website. Matthew Henry says it is clear in the Bible that if you go against the warning of God and create a relationship with a non-believer expect problems (Henry, Matthew, n.d.). In 1 Timothy 5:8 and Luke 12:45-47 unbelievers are referred to as the lowest of all creation (NIV). So the Bible is very clear on people of any other faith or no faith at all back in those times. I honestly believe if a non-believer has no contact with a believer how will they ever ask questions about God and the Bible.

After a long and exhausting day of school all I would like to do is go home and rest, but it's quite difficult to do that if your sister forgets to pick you up. This is exactly what happens to me every single day. Megan Elizabeth Malloy is the absolute most forgetful person I have ever known. She forgets everything you tell her. For example, if I told her my wedding date she would forget and not show up to my wedding. But, despite her forgetfulness in every single situation I still love her because she is my incredible older sister. Megan Elizabeth Malloy reflects the most likely to forget their lunch award in all situations because she forgets to pick me up from school, she always forgets my birthdays, and she even forgot her own dance in
