"Found" Character Description

Last night you read several chapters out of the book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. Your goal for the 10 Spot is to create a "found" character description. Use the designated chapters and find at least three quotes (direct words from the book) that uniquely define one of the characters in the book. Write a brief explanation after the quotes telling why you chose them. I would prefer that you not choose literal descriptions that someone makes of a character. (ex. She was smart and had brown hair.) Here is an example of how it should be formatted:
ex. Christopher
"So I tore the piece of paper up and threw it away." (ch.3 pg. 3)
".........."
" ........."
I chose these lines from the book because they show...

1st period- Chap. 2-5

3rd period- Chap.7-11

5th period- Chap. 13-19

7th period- Chap. 23-29

When you finish, visit the Wikispace and search through the new Tech Tools.

Found: Wellington
1.)"Decided that the dog was probablyh killed with the fork because I could not see any other wounds in the dog..." (ch. 2 pg. 1)
I chose this quote because it describes that the dog was dead and had a fork in it.
2.)"Wellington was a poodle...a big poodle." (ch.2 pg.1)
I chose this quote because it tells exactly what kind of dog Wellington was.
3.)"I pulled the fork out of the dog and lifted him into my arms and hugged him." (Ch.5 pg. 4)
This quote shows that the dog was dead and had just died. Christopher pulls the fork out of the dog becausee the fork has done all the damage it could do."
