Wringer Blog

Wringer ,a fiction story,by Jerry Spinelli, has 228 wonderfully written pages. It is about a 10 year old boy named Palmer, who does not want to become a wringer. A wringer is a boy who, on Pigeon Day, wrings the pigeons necks to take them out of their misery. No one in his town likes pigeons and would EVER keep them as pets. It just so happens, that one day before school, Palmer found a pigeon on his window sill. He knew he had to wring its neck, but he didn't want to, so he left it alone. The next day he found the pigeon again and kept it as a pet since it would never go away, he figured no one would find out, but he still kept it a secret. Will anyone ever find out, and if so, what will happen?
