Today in class, we read the fourth section of our book. I was the scribe today and many great ideas came up in our discussion. Danny first posed the question "Why did Christopher's dad hide the letters and resort to something as drastic as saying Christopher's mom was dead?" Alexa responded saying that she thinks Christopher would stop bothering hid dad about him mome if she thought she was dead. I added that this had worked up until Christopher read the letters. He had rarely questioned his dad about his mother because he thought she had a heart attack. We all agreed that this approach could have been better planned so that it did not break Christopher's heart once he found out. Danny also added that Christophers dad had put himseld in a bad predicament because now Christopher dislikes his dad.
