Philip Malloy
Have you ever met a devious little boy? Well, I have. In the story “Nothing but the truth,” by Avi, a boy named Philip Malloy was very devious. Philip Malloy was a funny person, then a stubborn person.
There are many ways Philip was a funny boy. He cracked so many jokes that could’ve been serious. For example, when he said, “Girls go for guys that win,” (pg.3). He was so in love with track that he said that.
Another trait that can describe Philip Malloy is stubborn. He was very into himself, he thought only of him, and what’s best for him. An example to describe stubborn is, “Studying is boring,” (pg, 7). He doesn’t know studying is boring, if he just takes a look at his friends that loves studying that want to be the best student and person they can be in the world.
As you can see, many traits that can fit a ninth grade boy named Philip Malloy are funny and stubborn. He might be an actor, but he sure knows, that he thinks of no one, but himself. Funny people have lots of jokes to make people laugh. Stubborn people get you no where. Does this person fit you too?

Philip Malloy was very devious <~~and yet nowhere else in your writing do you define "devious" nor tell the reader in what way the boy exhibited such a characteristic.

For example, when he said, "Girls go for guys that win" (pg.3). <~~First of all, that's not a complete sentence. Also how is that funny? And the next sentence doesn't seem to fit either -- it's not telling the reader anything about the boy being funny.

Please read your paper aloud to someone else and make sure the ideas logically follow one another.

Also, there are places in here where you need to be using reflexive pronouns.

Title: Philip Malloy

Introduction:
Have you ever met a devious little boy? Well, I have. In the story "Nothing but the Truth" by Avi, a boy named Philip Malloy was quite devious. Throughout the story, Philip Malloy displayed a combination of funny and stubborn traits.

Body Paragraph 1:
One of the ways in which Philip Malloy was funny is that he frequently cracked jokes, even in situations that could have been serious. For instance, on page 3, he humorously said, "Girls go for guys that win," highlighting his intense passion for track. This humor added a lighthearted element to his character.

Body Paragraph 2:
Philip Malloy's stubbornness is another defining trait. He often prioritized himself and his own interests, without considering the needs or perspectives of others. An example of this is on page 7 when he dismisses studying as boring. If he took a moment to observe his friends who love studying and strive to be the best students and individuals they can be, he would realize the value of hard work and dedication.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, Philip Malloy, the ninth-grade boy in the story, exhibits traits of both humor and stubbornness. He may have a talent for acting, but he typically places his own needs above those of others. While funny people can bring laughter to others, being stubborn often leads to personal limitations. Do you see any similarities between Philip Malloy and yourself?
