Shelf Life

A book review

Palmer is nine years old. He then falls in love with Dorothy. He finds out that Dorothy likes pigeons liked the same pigeon. Then he had a party and he invited some kids that he wanted to hang around for the longest time.

The conflict of the book is that Palmer does not want to become a real wringer like all of his other friends. The reason that he does not want to become a real wringer is because one day a pigeon came to his window. Palmer let the pigeon in and he fed him. The pigeon then left to Dorothy’s window. Palmer did not know that the pigeon had left to Dorothy’s house. Then one day that Palmer’s friends came to his house to pick him up to go to the park and they were going to go and show Palmer how to become a real wringer. They gave him a bird and he did not want to put the bird out of his misery. Then one day Dorothy came to palmer’s house and she saw the bird. Palmer didn’t want her to tell anyone about the bird because he would be embarrassed because his dad was the king of wringers.

What I think about the story is that Palmer did the right thing because you should not kill any animal that has not harmed you. The tone of the story is that the story is fiction because as we people now that you should not kill an animal unless you really need to. I really recommend this book to people because it’s a really good book and you will learn that you should not kill any animals.
