You don’t understand
Does Palmer really have to become a wringer when he turns ten? Dorothy says he doesn’t if he doesn’t want to. Palmer says she doesn’t understand because she’s a girl. “I can’t not be a wringer… You have to be a wringer. That’s how it always was.” Who do you think is right? Explain why.
I would say yes because if Palmer doesn’t be a wringer then he won’t get to be 11 years old until he is a wringer or he will still be 9 years old. I would say that Palmer is right because if he wants to be 11 or older, then he has to be 10 years old and be a wringer or he will still be 9 years old.

I think that Dorthy is right because no one can tell, or make you do something that you don’t want to. That’s even if it is a family tradition. It does not change anything because of her sex. In that the case, then palmer could also be wrong from him being a male.

I think Dorothy is right because no one can control what Palmer does.
