Dear Class,
The book I'm reading is Wringer by Jerry Spinelli. It's about a nine year old boy Palmer who knows when he turns ten he will become a wringer. Every Family Fest in his town on one day they bring in 5,000 pigeons and each shooter shoots 5 pigeons each. After every five pigeons killed a wringer comes out and picks them up. If one is not dead the wringer wrings their necks. One day after school Palmer comes home and sees a pigeon on his window and he kept it as a pet. Soon some of his friends got suspicious and snuck in his house. So he gave the pigeon to his other friend and he said to let the pigeon go. So she did, but accidentally let him go where the pigeons are captured for pigeon day. So at pigeon day he recognized the pigeon and took him and ran home.
I had a reaction and that reaction was I was surprised that Palmer tried to let him go instead of hiding the pigeon. I also had a connection and it was once I tried to shoot a pigeon with a BB gun. I had a question and the was why did people in the town like to kill pigeons? Scincerly, RJM

WHAT IS A WRINGER?
Do you like the jery Spenilli books? I think that they are funny and good books
RM,
I've seen that book on the shelf quite a bit at bookstores and the library and have always been curious about it, but a little nervous to read it. How do you think the people in his town would've reacted to know that he had taken a pigeon in as a pet?
Did you find out why the people in the town liked to kill pigeons? I'm getting a little more curious about this book now. Maybe I'll try it and see what happens.
Happy Reading,
Ms. E
