Slide 3 - Tekstslide

Chapter 127
When Christopher returns from school, Father is still at work. Christopher goes into the kitchen and puts his things on the table, including his book. He makes a raspberry milkshake and sits down to watch a documentary on underwater life called Blue Planet. Father comes home and goes into the kitchen. He returns a few minutes later holding Christopher’s book. He speaks quietly and Christopher doesn’t realize for a moment that he is angry. Father asks him if the conversation that he had with Mrs. Alexander is true. Christopher replies that it is and his father grabs him hard, like he never has before. Frightened, Christopher starts to hit his father.

 After that his memory goes blank. When he comes to he has blood on his hand and the side of his head hurts. Father’s shirt is torn, he has a big scratch on his neck, and he still holds Christopher’s book. After a minute, Father goes into the kitchen, and then out into the garden, where Christopher can hear him drop the book into the trashcan. When Father comes back into the kitchen, he locks the back door and hides the key to it in a china pot.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Chapter 131
Christopher describes some of the reasons why he hates the colors yellow and brown. Mr. Forbes thinks that hating colors is silly, but Siobhan points out that everyone has favorite colors. Christopher compares his hatred for certain colors to all the not important choices people make in life. If we didn’t make choices, he reasons, nothing would ever happen.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Chapter 137
The next day, Father apologizes for hitting him and decides that he will take Christopher to Twycross Zoo to make up for it. At the zoo, Father tells Christopher how much he loves him, and says he was only angry because he doesn’t want Christopher to get into trouble by sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong. Christopher remembers all the things Father has done for him, like picking him up from the police station, and cooking his meals. To Christopher, love is helping someone when they get into trouble, and telling them the truth. They press their hands together instead of hugging.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Chapter 137
Christopher describes photographs taken in 1917 that appear to show live fairies. The incident was called “The Case of the Cottingley Fairies,” and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes stories, uses the photographs as proof of the existence of fairies. In actuality, the fairies shown were just cut outs, which the photographers admitted in 1981. Christopher explains Occam’s razor, a law that says “no more things should be presumed to exist than are absolutely necessary.” To Christopher, this means that murderers tend to know their victims, fairies don’t exist, and you can’t talk to the dead.
