Philips dad is very supportive of Philip, but is a little too tough when Philip lied to him about quitting track. Even though it was a lie he still believed Philip.
Final Reflection
Three things that I learned while reading this book were:
1) That victory doesn't always have the outcome you were expecting.
2) That most people believe what they see in text right away without even considering the other side or point of view.
3) That just because there's tension between a teacher and student, doesn't maen the teacher dislikes the student, but maybe their effort.
Why did Avi chose to write this book?
He chose to write this book to show that patriotism is a good thing, but when you mix it with lies and a story, it can be really bad. It shows that you need to be close to your friends, but even closer to your enemies.
