Argumentative essay. Who Killed Willington?

  Christopher Boone finds himself in the most mysterious accident of all the time. In this book, he plays the role of a detective and finds out unbelievable facts about the people around him. The development of how this story turns out is unpredictable. At last, he will find out who the real killer of the dog. However, in my analysis, the suspect who killed Willington is Christopher's father.


    In the story we could find the strange behavior from Christopher's father. It looks like he is trying to stop Christopher from finding the killer. When Christopher asks his dad several times about the possible of doing the detactive work to find the killer, Christopher's father gets really angry and shouts at him to stay out pf other people's business. Also, the other time was when Christopher got home late after talking to Mrs. Alexander. Then Mr. Boone starts to ask him several questions. Mr. Boone knows Christopher will go out at night but why does he has to worry about where Christopher goen during the day?. One more thing the clue from the book is the secound clue from Sherlock Holmes. It said "Stapleton is the only person who knows to get through the Grimpen Mire and he tells Watson to saty out of it for his own safe." So Mr. Boone is doing same thing as Stapleton. Both people are trying to hide something for their own safe. Thoses three pieces of evidence support that Mr. Boone is the killer.

     In the beginning of the story we found the Mr. Boone and Mrs. Shears are having a affair. Inthey want it to become a permanent relationship however, they would need to get rid Christopher. So Mrs. Shears kill dog and makes look like Christopher did it. So that Christopher will have to go to jail. This one is one of the red herring because from the story we could suggest that Mrs. Shears is not the killer od Willington. After her dog was killed she says to Christopher, "What in fuck's name have you done to my dog."So this will represent that she wasn't awear of dog's death. Next day when Christopher went to her house she said " I really don't think I want to see you right now." and " If you don't go now I will call the police again." this will explain she is upset about her dog's death.

   Here is best evidence which support that Mr. Boone is the suspect who killed the dog. In the story Cristopher's father said with anger, "Christopher, you have to stay out of truble OK?"He keeps saying that Chridstopher should not get involved with solving Willington's death. More importantly, when Christopher says "I wonder if the police will find out who killed him and punish the person." his father shows his frustration and anger when "he banged the steering wheel with his fist and the car weaved a little bit across the dotted line in the middle of the road and he shoulted 'I said leave it, for God's sake."' Usually people didn't react this way. This react has very strong evidence to support the idea that Mr. Boone is hideing something that he doesn't want to revealed about the dog's death.

  Overalls each of three paragraphs includes strong evidence support my belief that Mr. Boone has killed Willington. In the story, Christopher's father's statments, peculiar reactions and gehaviors to avoid dealing with the incident of the dog's are very suspieious. It determines that the father is the prime suspect of killing Willington. Mr. Boone is try to hide the truth because of that he is stragling. However someday people finds out. So my suggestion is tell the truth and from the worries.
