Papas Parrot

Harry is a simple boy who loves his dad, Mr. Tillian. Harry brings his friends to his dads candy shop every day after school. As Harry gets older he start to be embarrassed by his dad like any other growing kid. In this comedy of “Papas Parrot” Harry is jealous boy, but he does learn a lesson
In the first place Harry is just another boy. He is growing up fast and is starting to be embarrassed by his dad. All of his friends know where Mr. Tillian works too so that doesn’t make anything better. When Harry turns twelve ,that’s when Mr. Tillian buys a parrot. Now that Mr. Tillian has a parrot and he loves it, that kind of kicks Harry out of the picture. I think that Harry is now jealous of the parrot and he’s hiding that jealousy by ignoring his dad even more.
Secondly I think that “Papas Parrot” is a comedy. Life is normal and Harry loves his dad until he starts getting older and more mature. He starts to ignore his dad so Mr. Tillian buys a parrot for company. When Harry’s dad starts to ignores him back Harry realizes the conflict. I don’t think Harry minds because he doesn’t go to his fathers store anymore. The conflict is resolved when Mr. Tillian has a heart attack but survives. Harry was willing to look after the store and his parrot until Mr. Tillian returns.
Further more the lesson learned in the story is that kids will grow up. I think that the author or one of her kids was like Harry. But it wasn’t just her or her kid, it’s all of us. At one point or another, friends matter more than family, but no matter what they’re still family so you better get used to it.
Harry is jealous of the parrot. In the end though Harry learns his lesson. Some times parents get in the way but if one of them get hurt I would be willing to help.
