The story opens abruptly, with the narrator sitting on a perch in his cage in a pet store in Houston, having been reincarnated somehow as a yellow-nape Amazon parrot.

She buys him and takes him back to their former home, where she keeps him in a cage in the den. Despite his physical and, to a degree psychological, transformation, he is still jealous of his former wife's latest lover.

Harlan starts off his essay with a statement from President John F. Kennedy to put a man on the moon before the decade was over. The writer then continues with the introduction of Mr. Krauthammer and his accomplishments. This critique serves as an informative essay to get to understand the passion Mr. Krauthammer has about space. In the fifth paragraph we can see just that, “Charles Krauthammer offers a powerful, inspiring defense of the American manned space program; and it’s hard not to agree with him that our voyages to the moon captured the imagination and admiration of the world…”…

Some might argue that the overall message is wise, but it truly is a terrible book that’s very unenjoyable to read. Keeping the Moon has very uninteresting characters and storyline. First off, the characters have very few defining traits.…
