In the third quarter of the book, there was a sharp turn of plot. Originally, everyone thought Christopher's mother was the only one who made mistake and had an affair, but actually it was not. Father started to confessed after Christopher read the letters and found out Mother was not dead. First, Father had told a big lie to Christopher. Second, he confessed that he was the one who killed Wellington because he had a crush on Mrs. Shears, but he thought she cared the dog more than himself. So, after a fight, Father left Mrs. Shears house and saw the dog. Therefore, he killed the dog due to his anger. Combined with these two reasons, Christopher thought Father was not trust-worthy anymore and may wanted to kill him. Christopher started of his journey of escaping from Father, but on the other hand, Father anxiously wanted to find Christopher.
After finishing this quarter of the book, I thought the book became more realistic. There is always a cause and an effect. Christopher caused Mother to leave, and Mother left caused Father had a crush on Mrs. Shears, who had been really considerate after Mother left. Also, I started to think about marriage. Marriage originally was meant to be forever and sweet. But since there is no perfect person, so there is no perfect marriage. Maybe it is a narrow-minded opinion, but I though in some way it makes sense, and it also explains the high divorce rate in the world. Nonetheless, I think that is why people are different. Even though the result maybe devastating, but still people enjoy doing it.
