I claim The Chef Cut Mr. Xavier To DEATH. My Evidence is the knife that killed Mr. Xavier is a kitchen knife, another evidence is the chef was the last person seen that night. Also, the chef was reported to have been the last person to leave that night by the butler and the chef had not locked it and was the only other person that was in the house (the other was Mr. Xavier). It is also possible the chef broke the window from the outside to cover his tracks and made it seem that a burglar killed Mr. Xavier and escaped from the scene of the crime. The carpet got wet when the rain got in the broken window. In conclusion, I claim that the chef had killed Mr. Xavier due to my many, many, pieces

He witnesses how close it was for him to be killed, responding, “The other side wants to kill me, and I’ve never even seen their faces” (Boyden, 33).

He always speaks English and even has a British accent when talking with his peers. This new Westernized identity assimilates his everyone else's and continues to create distance from his aboriginal background. Elijah and his troupe find themselves in the trenches when Xavier exclaims he sees Elijah’s blackening. Xavier states, “Even with my eyes closed, I can tell Elijah’s mood blackens more. ‘Dear Henry,’ Elijah says using their code, ‘would you be a kind chap and make me a cup of tea?’ (Boyden 144). Elijah completely disconnects from his past culture and identity, to now respond to his crewmates in only English. This displays the loss of identity as even Xavier notices Elijah’s “mood blackens more.” (144 Boyden). Elijah has a constant need to fit in with his peers and makes no regard to keeping touch with his native culture, in result creating a new identity, far from his past. Elijah also shows loss of identity when he demonstrates a lust for kill so strong that it would clearly go against his past Cree culture. When Elijah was returning to his trench, Corporal Thompson asked him if he enjoyed his last mission. He responded with “It’s in my blood,” (Boyden 75). This question asked by Thompson is inquiring if he enjoyed the killing. With Elijah's clear and confident answer implying that it is just instinct, displays his new passion for killing.
