Lit Circle 5

In todays literature circle, my main strength was bringing up a good discussion through the questions asked in this weeks reading. But unfortunatly, my weakness was not being able to bring the discussion back to life, when it started to slow down, and that was when we started to get a little off topic, but we were then able to quickly get back on topic. One way that my thinking was deepend was when the discussion came about whether Chris's dad really is a bad dad. This came up when we talked about him lying to Chris about his mother's death, and about him killing Wellington. I was proven wrong about this when we disscussed how hard Chris father must try to keep care of him. The passage that I chose to take a closer look at was the one where Chris thinks he needs to leave his father, because he thinks his father will try to kill him. I chose this passage because it shows how Chris is starting to loss the trust he had for his father.
