Analysis (until page 149)

Write about some repetition or pattern you have noticed.

Well I didn’t really notice a repetition. But there are a lot of similar things told in the story. But what I have noticed is that there is very often a chapter about one topic and in the following one will be a chapter that has similar content as the first one. For example, there was now first the chapter with the different letter Christopher’s mother wrote and in the next chapter it’s reflected to his first school year and there is also a scene with his mother described.


At the other side this doesn’t count for all the chapters. And for me some of the chapters don’t make any sense. I mean there was a whole chapter just in the middle and with no context (at least I couldn’t find the context). It was something about math and some formulas and things like that. I can’t remember that good because I didn’t think that it should have a place in the book somehow.

    Yes, there are very many chapters that are not connected to the story. Why do you think that is? Can you think of any reasons? Also, there are actually very many repetitions. Whenever Christopher retells a dialogue for example he goes: "and I said, and she said, and I said..." for whole paragraphs...

Empathy (until page 93)

Say in what ways you wish a character would change/develop or what you would like to happen in the life of some character. So because Christopher is the main character in this book I mostly concentrate on his situation. I think it would make a really sick turn of the story if he would just be able to realize how people feel. If he didn’t have to deal with the aspergus syndrome everything would be different and somehow I’m hoping that in the end he’ll be able to deal with this syndrome a bit better. Also I want him to really find out who the killer of Wellington is. Because he likes playing a detective and if he would find out who it was, he would probably be the most happy boy.  After that he should definitely get his A degree in math but he should not go to study math or physics or math and physics. I think he should try his very best to become a astronaut. He really deserves to achieve his goals. (153 words)

Prediction (until page 173)

At any point of the story take a guess as to how the story (plot) will go on or finally conclude. What is going to happen? So currently Christopher is on his way to see his mom in London. He just arrived at the train station where he is trying to escape his father. At this point I think he’ll make it to London and finally see his mom again. But also, his dad will probably follow him to London because he told Ms. Alexander where he is going. His Mother will be very surprised for sure. But I can’t imagine the situation when his Dad will also arrive in London. Will they talk normally, or will they scream at each other? I literally don’t know but I am very curious about the next chapter. Maybe I’m lowkey hoping that they will somehow solve everything that happened ever between them and then live happily ever after like in a Disney story. But to be honest I don’t really believe in such a Happy Ending. Maybe also something will happen to his dad I really don’t know what to think....
