Wringer

By: Wisdom Garcia

Hello, everyone.  Today my class and I have finished reading a book called Wringer. in the sense of a summary, the book is about a character called Palmer who is scared of becoming ten, because he doesn't want to become a wringer. In the book, an annual Pigeon Day is kept every year, where after pigeons have been shot, ten-year-old males wring its neck off. This is a wringer. In the town where this book is set it's like a tradition that most ten years old boys become wringers, and surprisingly Palmer doesn't want to become one. On Palmer ninety birthday party the boys who seem to have been bulling him shows up at his party and treats him as their own. Palmer begins to feel as if he's now fitting in. Everyone in Waymer hates pigeons. What happens when a pigeon shows up at Palmers window and is determined to stay. Would his secret get out?
Now everyone that was just the summary, but do you want to know what I think about it? no point in asking because I'm going to tell you anyway. To my perspective, this book is really about finding/ knowing who you are. If you're not friends with "the cool kids" that doesn't make you a loser. Everyone has their own personality and that's what defines you as a human being, that is what makes you. So please, people don't hide behind someone else's identity, because guys we have too much of the same people in this world or " wannabes" So if you're reading this article and having problems figuring out who you are this is a good reference. Go check out Wringer.
