The dog Wellington was killed in the murder mystery novel ''The curious incident of the dog in the night-time. As you are reading the novel the question ''Who killed Wellington''? will circle your mind a lot. There are many clues to state who might have killed Mrs.Shears poodle Wellington. But with the clues I have gathered up it states that Mr.Boone has killed Wellington.
There are really no other suspects that could have been blamed for Wellington's death expect for Mr.Boone because when Christopher goes around his neighbourhood asking about Wellington's death nobody seems suspicious expect for Mr.Boone. Mr.Boone also tells Christopher to stop investigating more about the case after he picks Christopher up from the police station, usually when you are the suspect of a crime you don't want people to ask you about the crime you committed because then you will probably end up becoming more frusterated about you did. To support this idea there is a line in the novel where Mr.Boone says ''Just try and keep your nose out of other people's business'' and also says ''It's a bloody dog, Chirstopher , a bloody dog.'' which is stating that Mr.Boone doesn't want Christopher to poke his nose into other people's business and because Christopher is so smart Mr.Boone doesn't want Christopher to figure out who killed Wellighton. Also Mr.Boone doesn't care about Wellington at all like it seems like he hated him and the line ''It's a bloody dog, Chirstopher , a bloody dog.'' supports this idea.
Other's could argue that Mr.Boone didn't kill Wellington and one main reason for that is that what could possible be the motive and reason why Mr.Boone might have killed Wellington?. Mr.Boone might have hated dogs in general and maybe Wellington was always annoying for Mr.Boone and then Mr.Boone had a motive to kill him and get rid of him forever. To make it look like he didn't kill the dog he was trying to avoid the question and he gets frusterated when Christopher starts to talk about the dog because he knows he did it and when you commit a crime you obviously don't want other people to talk to you about it.
Mr.Boone is the prime suspect because he has said many things to prove he has done it and he doesn't want anybody to find out he did it. If Mr.Boone doesn't care that Christopher goes for a walk at 3:00 am and also goes around the town doing random things then why would he care if Christoper is going around the neighbourhood and asking everyone question because Christopher actually cared about the dog and he is trying to support Mrs.Shears in this hard time. Mr.Boone doesn't really care if he dog is living or dead and because he killed the dog he doesn't want Chrisptoher to know the truth that he actually committed the crime.
Well as I have stated Mr.Boone has killed Wellington nothing could be done now, but fro a solution the police should go around the neighbourhood asking everyone if thy saw or heard anything because nobody is taking Christopher seriously as he is going around the neighbourhood asking everyone. Then when the police find out who committed the crime they should go straight to jail.
Kirat you clearly understand the structure of English class writing. However, in this case you have missed the chance to really go through the details of the novel and the hints/stories Christopher shares to make your case. There are a number complicated motives surrounding why Mr. Boone might kill the dog but a "general dislike of dogs" is a very weak one with little support from the novel. Be careful about spelling (expect vs except) but more importantly you need to refocus on the evidence in the novel not just our class chats.
