At any point in the story take a guess as to how the story will go on or finally conclude. What is going to happen?

Christopher leaves his home and starts to search for his mother, who lives in London. His father probably follows him and tries to stop him. I think that Christopher will find his mother, because otherwise the whole story wouldn’t make any sense at all. But I also think that there will be an encounter between mother, father and Christopher and maybe also between Mr. and Mrs. Shears, which are closely connected to them. Hopefully this will bring some smoothness and clarity to their situation and Christopher won’t get mad in the end or something like that. 

I think that Mother and Father will get closer again because Christopher is much older now and can look after himself a bit better now. Maybe they will all live together again, and then Mr. and Mrs. Shears could also get together again, and live in their neighbourhood. Father could buy them a new dog as reparation for Wellington.

In your own words what has happened in the book? At any point in the story, retell the major details of the story’s plot so far

Christopher finds a killed dog and starts to investigate himself to the case. We learn that Christopher’s mother died to a heart attack and that he lives alone with his father. His father doesn’t want him to investigate, but Christopher follows his own intentions and starts to talk with people in his neighbourhood, to find out who’s killed Wellington.  An old lady is very kind to Christopher and talks to him for multiple times. From her he learns that his father had an affair with Mrs. Shears (she’s the one, whose dog got killed). Christopher writes everything in a book (the book we’ve been reading) because in school they should write a story. His Father finally finds the book and gets very angry with Christopher. He takes away the book to hide it somewhere, but Christopher tries to find it whenever he has the opportunity. Finally, he finds it in his father’s room, but not only this. Where the book is hidden, he also discovers many letters which are addressed to him. He reads ...

Name 5 of the main themes of the novel

The life of a boy with autism The whole book is built around a young boy with big issues. He probably has Asperger Syndrome, some kind of autism. He thinks very different to other people and his reactions are very unpredictable and sometimes strange as well. Relationship between parents of such a boy Another important theme is, how Christopher influences the relationship between his mother and his father. Only by Christopher they recognized how different they are and that they want different things in their life. This causes his mother to leave the family and live with another man in London.

Say in a what ways you wish a character would change/develop or what you would like to happen in the life of this person

I don’t really like the situation of Christopher’s father at this point. He’s actually a very kind person who does everything for his son. But some things he did, I don’t like to much. He has a very heavy burden to carry and it seems as if he’s kind of depressed of the situation and not he’s happy in life at all. I hope that there would be a conversation between him, Christopher and his mother which would help all of them for sure. Father seems to have many secrets he’s hiding from Christopher to his own good, but I don’t think that this can go on like this for much longer. Christopher starts to get very suspicious about some things and father doesn’t know what to do now. It’s also noticeable that his father has an alcohol problem, what isn’t unexpected. If the family could assemble again this would help everyone.  (152)
