One specific point in the story that made me feel sorry for Christopher was when Christopher’s dad admitted to having killed Wellington. After hearing this Christopher goes and hides from his dad afraid that he will kill him just like he killed Wellington. It would have been very hard for me after trusting someone for so long and then, one day, finding out they had done something like this. Christopher was not able to fully understand the reasoning behind what his dad had done. Because of that, he feared his dad, the person who had loved and taken care of him all of his life. Christopher then decides to escape to London where his mom lives. On his journey, Christopher thinks that he can not trust anyone. In reality, he is running away from the one person who he can trust and who loves him the most.

Good point. On the one hand, the dad did something terrible. But does that mean that he doesn't care about his son?? Christopher doesn't see the two things as separate.
