The main character in my book is Martyn Pig. His mom died when he was 13 years old and now lives with his dad in an apartment style home. Martyn's dad is an alcoholic and a smoker, and treats Martyn like hes nothing. He does not treat him like a real father should. He has to make his own food everyday, walk to the store to buy groceries and clean up all of his dads beer cans and cigarette butts constantly.
One night Martyn's Dad was drunk like always and he was repeatedly making fun of Martyn's favourite show that he rarely got to watch. Martyn got so frustrated with him, he yelled at him to shut up, things escalated and his dad became violent again. Martyn pushed his dad off of him, he fell and cracked his head open on the mantle, and died. Martyn was in shock, he was in so much shock he never called the police, because he didnt know what they would accuse him of. Hours went by and then days and Martyn came up with the idea to dump his dads body somewhere. But he still confused as to what to do.
Question: What do you think Martyn should do? Should he call the cops and tell them what happened, even thought its been more than 24 hours and there is a chance they will not believe him and put him in juvie, or should he dump his body somewhere?
I think that Martyn should call the cops and tell them what has happened with his dad because his dad was getting violent with him and he was only pushing his dad off of him for self defense. I don't think that Martyn meant for his dad to fall and and crack his head open he was just scared.
ReplyDeleteI think that Martyn should call the cops. He cannot avoid the problem more than he already has and the consequences are going to be a lot worse if he keeps hiding it. Even though Martyn's father did not treat him the way a father should, Martyn should still do the right thing and call the cops.
