“Shells” by Cynthia Rylant is a realistic short story about a kid that has lost his parents, and had to move to his aunt's house that he doesn't know. He's very worried because he doesn’t want to live with a person that he doesn't know. But when he moves in, he see’s that she gives him his own space and doesn’t bother him. He say’s to himself this might not be as bad as I thought it would be. But after a while he got more bored and not having fun. There always a better roundt. Think positive, in the beginning of the story Michael and aunt Esther were fighting about if Michael like her and where he was. I think that Michael was getting mad after a while at Aunt Esther. For example, in paragraph 8, the author says,”don't yell at me.” Which
