Star Spangled Banner

On Page 83 Dr. Palleni tells Mrs. Malloy, ”Students cannot break-- cannot make a disturbance in the classroom. Straightforward rule infraction.” AVI In this quote it is shown what rule Philip Malloy had broken. He was creating a disturbance, which is why he was kicked out of the school. OnPage 1 in the memo it says “Please all rise and stand at respectful, silent attention for the playing of our national anthem.” AVI The rule that Philip broke is right on the first page in the memo. Stand at respectful, Silent attention. The rule Philip broke is right in the memo that he was sent most likely when he entered the school. He broke the rule, suspension is deserved. On Page 105 Dr. Seymour says “The answer is no. We do not have such a rule. Absolutely.” AVI This is said by Dr. Seymour while he is speaking to Jennifer Stewart. He is saying that there is no rule against singing the star spangled banner. On Page 111 the conversation states “Ms. Stewart: …. You suspended a student, Philip Malloy, for singing “The Star Spangled Banner”? Dr. Palleni: I did no such thing!” AVI In this quote, Dr. Joseph Palleni is defending himself after he is accused of suspending Philip for signing the national anthem. This shows that Palleni did not suspended Philip Malloy for singing the national anthem. He suspended him for some other reason, for creating a

Two days before Thanksgiving, Janet confronted James Cox, one of her students, who was caught plagiarizing. Because Janet was already feeling sexist attitudes from her students, James’

When he tried to try out for the school track team, his coach, ______, said that in the student handbook that students who are failing a class cannot join an after-school activity. Instead of asking for extra credit work like coach _____ advised. Furthermore, Philip’s friends were in his homeroom when he was humming. Most of them thought that he was just trying to make a laugh or to irritate Ms. Narwin. But when the story on the newspaper said otherwise, Philip’s friends really begin to think that Philip was trying to irritate Ms. Narwin. Practically everyone in the school likes Ms. Narwin, Phil’s friends are trying to prove her innocence. Finally, near the end of the book, Philip’s first day in the Private school, Philip’s homeroom teacher asked if he would sing the National Anthem, Philip said with tears in his eyes that he doesn’t know the words. When Philip hummed the National Anthem, he told the press and his parents that he was singing instead of humming the

Many people hail “The Star Spangled Banner” as the greatest piece of American music. The audiences of America’s national anthem seem, instinctively, eager to express their respect by embracing the notion to remove their hats and stand up. However, not many people ponder over the question of what “The Star Spangled Banner” truly means. What does it mean? Why does it deserve so much reverence and honor? What exceptional difference allows it to prevail over the masterpieces of prominent composers like Mozart and Beethoven? The answer is fairly simple. “The Star Spangled Banner” symbolizes America’s perseverance, its set of moral laws and ethics, and its history that constitutes what America truly means.

One of the things that stand out in in Anthem is the little amount of freedoms they have. The society has been completely turned on its head every little thing they do in life is dictated and controlled down to who they can like. They aren't even allowed to be taller or different looking from their brothers. One of the freedoms missing that stands out to me is the freedom of speech. For people here in America, the freedom of speech is something we all take for granted and don't think about all that often. We know it's one of our rights and we know that some other countries don’t have it, but we don't tend to stop and think about what it would be like if we had that taken away. That is something that everyone needs to think about from time to time.

On December 23rd, Sylvanus Thayer, the Academy's Superintendent, hosted a Christmas Party at his home. There some Cadets, but more of the higher ups were there and they sipped on some fine red wine and discussed some of the issues that were happening on campus. At the same time the Cadets in North Barracks began party planning, you know, who to invite, whose bringing dip, watch drinking games to play and so on. But really what they were doing was stealing food from the mess hall so they could have a nice spread for their guests. While doing this, the observant Cadets in the South Barracks found out about the party and well, they planned to crash it.

As The Star Spangled Banner is heard through the speakers of the football stadium, pride fills the hearts of all the Americans while they stand tall. The sole purpose that the song was written was to get America through a time of war and to instill a sense of strength and pride. The songs main focus is on the star spangled banner or the American flag. When people think of America they picture the red, white, and blue flag with the fifty stars. The American flag gives America something that represents them and that is why they wave the flag around proudly when given the chance. That very same pride that fellow Americans get when waving the flag is the same pride that Francis Scott Key felt as he seen the flag flying over Fort Henry. These following lines of The Star Spangled Banner is proof that Americans should be proud to live in America, “What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last

“Once the audience was seated, a soprano would come forward and sing ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’” (Miller 297). This is a line describing a public execution from “Get it Right: Privatize Executions” by Arthur Miller. In his Article, Miller paints a rather disturbing picture for the audience. Miller describes a hypothetical public execution whereas the audience would consume the event similar to how we would a sporting event.

Philip Malloy is known as a good kid. He doesn’t act out in class, isn’t mean to anyone, and gets pretty good grades except for Ms. Narwins class. Therefore having a bad grade in her class means that he cannot try out for the track team. In a conversation between Philip and his father, Philip blames his bad grade on the teacher and doesn’t want to share the truth. “‘I saw your grades.

He stretched the truth to everyone about humming the national anthem, when he was actually singing it. (Avi Pg. 73) “She won’t let me sing ‘The Star Spangled Banner’,” Philip told the principal that Miss Narwin won't let him sing ‘’The Star Spangled Banner’’. (Avi Pg. 73) “She’s against me being patriotic.” Philip told the principal

Someone there noticed this item and called the paper to see if we had any more information about the situation.” (Littell 129). In the newspaper it had Philip being in 10th grade that is just one fact that is incorrect that they do not know but instead just took it off and printed the story. This situation is explained with very little in depth detail making it unable to hold the complete truth, and become unquestionable by others but brings in enough concern to keep the word spreading the main message about it. “A tenth grader was suspended from his local school because he sang ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ During the school's morning exercises.

How could a kid make a disturbance in class while the Star-Spangled Banner was playing? Philip Malloy is a ninth grader who just moved to a school called Harrison HIgh. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Malloy. While at this school Philip Malloy was suspended for being patriotic by singing the national anthem while the tape was playing on the intercom. While at this school Philip Malloy was suspended for being patriotic by singing the national anthem while the tape was playing. This is unacceptable! Philip Malloy was suspended for singing the national anthem. Philip said,“I like to, you know, sing along.” In the morning when they play the national anthem Philip would like to sing along to the national anthem. Dr. Seymour said, “Of course not. Whatever

Philip Malloy was suspended for two days for supporting our country. Ms. Stewart said” That’s right, and he - Dr. Seymour - says that the Harrison school district has no such rule”. He might be believing the other people in the U.S. Liz on the Jake Barlow show said” The one who Forbade that child to show patriotism in school… I’d take my kids right out of school” (8:35 a.m. - Transcript from the Jake Barlow show). She

To begin, Philip thinks his teacher is a negative person for giving him a D. After Philip Malloy is a clownish, not motivated freshman, is punished for causing a disturbance in his class by humming “The Star-Spangled Banner''. Philip's parents, several reporters and a neighbor (who happens to be running for the school board) accuse the school of being unsupportive. Miss Narwin, however, faces dismissal from her job. Miss Narwin is facing her own challenges as the story begins. As she despair tries to get a grasp on contemporary teaching, she sorrow over the fact that her students do not appreciate, or even care about, literature the way students in the past have. She requests funding from the school district to attend a summer course to improve her student participation in her classes.. When she is denied the funding, Miss Narwin becomes discouraged and angry at the lack of concern that Harrison School District has for their student care. Though Phil

Yesterday evening, Halloween night, Grace Merriweather held a pageant about Maycomb County’s history. After an in-depth speech about the past, Mrs. Merriweather continued to say various agricultural products while the children walked in dressed as their assigned food. The pageant was lovely and there was one specific part of the night that was very comical. During the middle of the last song in the show, Jean Louise Finch (otherwise known as 'Scout'), whom was assigned to play the role of the ham, rushed onto the stage making the crowd explode with laughter. In fact, it was so hilarious, that Judge Taylor eventually had to exit the room due to the amusement. Scout appeared to be embarrassed, as anyone would be in that situation, and she hurried
