“Papas Parrot”

There are many families that are single parents with one kid in the U.S. Harry was the only child of the main character Mr. Tillian. The story “Papas Parrot” follows the comic mode of literature even though it is not funny.

The story begins as normal everyday life with Harry visiting his dad at the candy store. Harry got older and didn’t go to the candy store and goes with friends. Instead of asking Harry to stop by more, Mr. Tillian buys a parrot. Things get worse when Harry stops going to the candy and nuts store because he does not like his papa talking to a parrot. When Harry’s dad has a heart attack Harry goes to clean the shop. Then he finds out that his dad got the parrot to keep him company at the shop. Harry realizes that he needs to start visiting his dad more.

There are a couple lessons learned from this story. One is that you should spend time with your family because they may not be there the next day. The other one is when something is bothering you talk to someone about it. Papa and Harry should had talked to each other.

In the end Harry learned that he should spend more time with his father. Like the comic mode of literature it all goes back to normal in the end. Harry’s dad got a parrot because Harry stops coming to the shop. Even though there were some problems Harry and his dad get back to normal.
