WRINGER

What do you think about the book so far?

Are there any parts of the story you would have written differently if you were the author of Wringer?  If yes, what would you change?  If no, why would you leave things the same?

Which character from your book do you relate to the most?  Why?

Additional thoughts…

  1. 1. i think the book is fun to read because its fun to learn what will happen next. it feel when
    I'm reading the book that I'm apart of the book .

    2. No i wouldn't change any part of the story because I think it is a great book to read the way it is. It makes me feeel good about reading this book. When I read this book I feel like I'm reading on top of the clouds , like I'm in the story. There is nothing iI would change about this book.

    3.The charater the most to is Palmer (Snots) because when i have problems like this i avoid them just like Palmer . When Palmer avoids his problems he covers them up by avoiding his friends, try to talk it out with someone , or he does something that huants him in the future.We so far have almost the same thing in common. That is who I am similer to the most.

  2. I really like this book.I would read this book again........definitely.I think that this book should not be changed.It is very unique.JERRY SPINELLI EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!!!!! Wringer deserves that Newberry Honor Award.I would most likely relate to Palmer because he tends to be shy and hangs out with more than one friend at a time.He has three best friends just like me for example:Beans,Mutto and Henry. I have three friends I hang out with they are Dudley.M/LD,Jacob.Y and Christian.J

    Jerry Spinelli needs to make a sequal for Wringer because......................................... IT ROCKS!!!!!! :)(:

  7. I like this book very much. I like it because it is very suspensful like when nipper was flying over head and mutto had a sling shot.

    No because it is very great the way it is because some times I want to read ahead like when he first got nipper

    I am the most like palmer because some times because I some times try to get out of problems if I do not want to deal with it so i make fake problem to get out of it.

  11. Question number 1:
    I think this book is really good so far. Everytime i read it i get really into it! Sometime i want to read to the next chapter but i cant because we have to stop at certain pages:(.

    Question number 2:
    I would not have changed any parts of this book. I think it is fine the way it is. I if I would have changed any part of the story it would not be the story i like.

    Question number 3:
    I think i am more like palmer because i try to get out of doing things i make up excuses like if my friends asks me to go over her house and i dont want to go i say "my mom said i can't go" just like when beans wanted to go over palmers house but palmer didnt rly want him to go over his house so he said lets go to yours.

  12. Q1: what i think of the book.... I think it is veary intresting. I love the relationship between Palmer and Dorthey and Palmer and the boys (Beans, Mutto, Henrey). Some other things I like would be the humor in the book. I like the bird also along with humor Nipper also has an emotinal attachment to Palmer. I also like the way Palmer lives his life, he is veary adult for only beeing 9 going on 10.

    Q2: what would I change...... I would not change any thing in the book so far, I think its funny and is veary well written. I think it speaks to you in a way to make u change your feelings about somethings.

    Q3: who do I relate to the most..... I think i relate mostly to Nipper. I belive this because Nipper has a fun persanality and Nipper also a good sence of humor.

    1. beans because he has a nice house and a mean cat

  18. 1 The book so far is good because it has a lot interesting parts like when it says " without warning Beans snatched the contents of the box and boppeed Mutto on the head. A muskrat." So I thought that that part was a pretty funny part and there are other things they say that are very sad like when the guys threw the snowball at Dorthey i thought that was a sad part. 2 No because all of this book put together was pretty interesting and if i were to change somethng it wouldn't be the same and it wouldn't be as interested because say i changed the cat named panther to cutsie pie then it wouldn't be as nerve racking as the others. I relate to Dorthy the most because she is not afraid about what people do or think of her so that means she isn't afraid to do things she wants to so I relate to her the most. I hope you liked my explainations see ya dog!!!!!

    3.I would relate to panther the cat that brings dead animals to the door for bean's because I like to hunt animals like rabbit's

  20. -the story is fantastic! the story is very unexpectable because you dont know whats coming to you,thats why I like the story.
    -the only thing I would change at this point of the story is that
    Beans crys when he gets punched 10 times I mean really he would cry.
    -I would be most like palmer because he always worrys about what will happen when the day comes.
    PS.Beans really needs to brush his teeth(Nasty Goof).
