Reflection: 3rd Quarter of Curious Incident

In the 3rd quarter of the book, Christopher's dad told Christopher that he had killed Wellington after Christopher found out that his dad had been hiding his mother's letters. Christopher decides that his father was too dangerous. He finds his way to the train station to go live with his mother in London. In the third part of the book, readers can see that Christopher's father's sudden emotional release that caused the murder for his neighbor's dog, Wellington, caused even his son, Christopher, the closest person to him, to leave him. From this, I think that emotions really influence a person's life. As any person is responsible for the consequences of their actions, any extreme or violent emotion that is released could possibly cause damage to someone or something else, and that release has a potential to drastically affect someone's life. Just like Christopher's father, for example, if he had not killed Wellington, his son probably would not have left him.  Eventually, Christopher's father even had to approach the police station and seek for help from the policeman to stop his son from leaving him. Although Christopher's reason and way of thinking that lead him to leave his father might be even humorous for the reader, the book narrates about a sad reality of a disunited family.
