-He is an intellectual individual who excels greatly in Math and Science.

-Currently lives in Swindon with a single parent, his father.

-Currently attends a school for kids with learning disabilities, or special needs. (pg. 43)

-Christopher believes that he is smarter, or more logical than any other student in the school.

-Christopher’s parents are also separated which was caused from an affair Mrs. Boone was affiliated with.

-The seperation was not discovered my Christopher until he found numerous letters written to him from his mother.

-Christopher's parents fought often because of the stress of taking care of someone with behavioural problems. “I used to think that Mother and Father might get divorced. That was because they had lots of arguments and sometimes they hated each other. This was because of the stress of looking after someone who had Behavioural Problems like I have.” (page 45-46)

Physical Description

-From all the information we have been given in the book, we can infer that Christopher has paler skin with a blonde lighter shade of hair, and blue eyes.

-In his denim overalls, you would find several items such as “1. A Swiss Army knife with 13 attachments including a wire stripper and a saw and a toothpick and tweezers. 2. A piece of string. 3. A wooden puzzle which looked like this 4. 3 pellets of rat food for Toby, my rat. 5. 1.47 (this was made up of a 1 coin, a 20p coin, two 10p coins, a 5p coin and a 2p coin). 6. A red paper clip. 7. A key for the front door.” (page13)

-We can also infer that Christopher wears glasses since he mentioned that he does not have 20/20 vision “Also I didn't have 20/20 vision, which is what you needed to become a pilot” (page 25)

Personality Profile

-Christopher is an introvert. He does not enjoy any type of social interaction, or physical contact between anyone for that matter.

"I find people confusing" (page 14-15)...

-Christopher is also a very literal and direct person when it comes to life and its meanings, such as religion. Since he cannot physically see God, he he cannot believe that there is one

-Also Christopher cannot tell lies, “I do not tell lies. Mother says this was because I was a good person. But it is not because I am a good person. It its because I can't tell lies.” (page 19)

-Christopher is also very picky when it comes to everything. Christopher really dislikes the colour's brown and yellow, and anything possessing these colour's, he refuses to touch.

You opinion of the character

-Christopher is a funny character, and brought some humor to the story through his words, actions and theories on certain subjects

-He is a smart and intellectual individual from his knowledge in Math and Science.

-His exact details is one thing that really struck me. I just wondered how one person can remember all of the exact details so vividly.

Importance of the Story

-Christopher is a very important to the story mainly because he is the protagonist and he brings more interest and some conflict to the novel.

-It is also very interesting to read a novel from an autistic persons point of view.

-The novel was originally about the murder of the poodle Wellington, but it all changed and shifted gears to Christopher's own personal life when he uncovered the truth about his mother.

-From this we see how he deals with the situation and how he overcomes his fears.
