Christopher Boone quote

“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” Christopher Boone discovered a bunch of secret letters from his mom that he had never seen. His mom is supposedly dead but the dates on the letters are from after she supposedly died. Chris's father had lied to him about one of THE biggest thing imaginable. He lied to his own son about his mother being dead. Christopher also finds out that his dad was the one who killed Wellington, the neighbors dog. Christopher finds the strength to persevere despite the overwhelming and terrifying news. He runs away from home to go find his mom, which is everything he dreads of most. “ I had to get out of the house. Father had murdered Wellington. That meant he could murder me, because I couldn't trust him, even though he had said “Trust me”, because he had told a lie about a big thing.” Christopher Boone is a hero whether he knows it or not. He faced his biggest fears to do the right thing.
