Reading Response BUT with amazing plot structure

Unfortunately currently I am not reading any book with a certain plot in particular so I suppose I wil base this off a book I have read in the past. A nice book I've read is Mr.Popper's Penguins in third grade. I can't quite remember it totally but I will try my hardest to remember so it may just add more of my confusion to this blog which is never a bad thing. It's more like having a cleft chin, it just makes it special. 

So in Poppers Penguins we start off with living the simple life of a house painter but it grows up to more than just living in the everyday life of Mr.Popper. It soon grows to Mr.Popper not only gaining intrest in the Arctic but in fact buying his own penguin. May I say, Mr.Popper had put himself in one sticky situation when that penguin laid eggs. Off course Mr.Popper being the responsible man he is he didn't just turn on the stove and have a nice breakfast but he had decided to take care of the penguins because as his father told him "Any boy can have a baby (penguin) but it takes a man to take care of him" which is very wise of him.

Later on in this story the big events start to happen which, you probably didn't guess it, the penguins get involved in show business. But here's where this all falls down to mush. Mr.Popper goes to jail for reasons unrememberable to me. Then he escapes prison and this is one major part in the story! The downfall ending begins when Mr.Popper returns the penguins to the Arctic and ignoring his fathers advice but he said "They are old enough to live on their own anyway." In the ending most of the children start to cry because that is like humane animal abuse to children. Just abandoning those poor penguins. I have lost much respect in you Mr.Popper. Much respect indeed.
