I have read the book “Nothing but the truth” which is about the story in school. The book has a lot of conversation between the people. It seemed so realistic. I guess everything in the book could happen in the real world. The story itself was interesting and enjoyable. It has a good rhythm and was easy to read. However at the same time, this story involves many problems in school. I think most of people could feel something by reading this book. I mean, almost all the people may have had a teacher they dislike when they were in school and students tend to complain it. It is the same as the story in this book.

I had some teacher who treated me badly although it was from my perspective but they might have tried to be fair to all students and just I couldn’t realize it. In this book, the biggest thing that caused everything was misunderstanding. Thorough the whole story, the teacher seemed right. Usually there is a rule students have to follow in school in order to get educated and I think the teacher Narwin did the right thing in this book. I can understand what she wanted to do. However, Philip couldn’t realize it even though other students say the teacher is great. In addition, he has kind of a problem even in his home between him and his parents and he seemed that he didn’t have any close friends so I guess he didn’t have a chance to talk everything and the place to take a rest. I was astonished in the last part of this book. He really needed somebody that he can talk everything.

It seems to me that the story ended up not happily but it made me think lots of things about the education and school. Teachers don’t exist only for teaching their subject but teaching everything for living life. Even if I were the teacher in this book, I wouldn’t have any idea to deal with this problem. It seems really tough but it could happen to me in this real world. I guess she needed to communicate with Philip more but I have no idea if it would work. Anyway, we need to think about students more carefully and to be helpful to them especially if you are involved to secondary education.
