There were many reasons why I thought he had killed Wellington, but the main one was when he said to Christopher "you have to stay out of trouble" and that he should not get involved in Wellington's murder. Christopher then said I hope the police will find&punish the person, and his dad got mad at that&expressed his anger when he banged the steering wheel. Christopher's dad would not have told Christopher to stay out of Wellington's death because he was afraid if chris finds out that his dad killed Wellington, then Chris's love for his dad might change. Also his dad wouldn't have reacted that way when Chris said that I hope the police will find&punish the murderer.
Another reason for why I think Chris's father killed Wellington was because of his relationship w/Ms.Shears. I think this because Chris's father probably felt very bad that Ms.Shears had cheated on him. Since Mr Boone&Ms Shears were tight, he probably had access to the shed and he had got the pitchfork out of her shed and had killed Wellington.
The last and final reason I think that Mr Boone killed Wellington is that the dog was killed on a night where Mr. Boone was drunk, he was feeling bad and down about his lost wife, and his disabled kid. I think that Mr. Boone got too drunk and didn't know what he was doing, got the keys to Ms. shears shed and murdered the dog.
I think that Mr Boone had killed Wellington because of the reasons above.
Thanks Jasmine. You initial argument is similar to many in our class and has merit. Your last paragraph should be your BEST evidence but you don't know any of what you claim. He MAY have been drinking but we don't that so it isn't really the BEST. Keep working at it.
