Christopher Enhances Other Character
There are many different reasons why Christopher enhances the other characters.The way the author put Christopher is so different from any other book. Christopher isn’t like your ordinary boy and the way Mark Haddon has him seem is unlike a lot of books. I think the author enhanced the other characters by putting them into different situations that involve Christopher and it makes them a lot more interesting. Also, when Christopher explains what they are wearing when they see him and talking about how he knows the person really brings the character to life.

    Christopher changes when he decides to solve Wellington's murder since he must socialize with neighbors and strangers, something way out of his comfort zone. Because of his mental disability, he's not very good at having conversations and doesn't feel comfortable around people and has trouble understanding social cues. He also hates it when people touch or grab him, which leads to him getting arrested for hitting a police officer: "I didn't like him touching me like this. And this is when I hit him."

    Into The Wild Chapter 6 Analysis

    By mentioning different stories of people who had similar experiences and characteristics as Chris, the readers can have a better understanding of Chris’s character and how might these particular characteristics that he possess influenced him to do bizarre things. Additionally, we can also consider this as an indirect attempt of Krakauer to defend Chris while still maintaining neutrality due to what he stated about his position at the beginning of the book, though we can clearly see that the author is trying to make Chris’s image more positive to the…

    Chris Mccandless Journey

    Chris made people feel so comfortable around him that whenever he was traveling and needed a place to stay it was almost guaranteed that someone would offer him a place to stay. He had a very magnetic personality, from what the book describes. People were pulled by his charming personality ever since he was young “as an eight-year-old, he grew vegetables behind the house in Annadale and then sold them door-to-door around the neighborhood…. ‘by the time he came home, the wagon would be empty, and he’d have a bunch of money in his hand.’” (116)* On his journeys Chris met countless people and all of those people were touched by Chris in one way or another. Each person he met became apart of his surrogate family. Jan Burres and her husband spoke so fondly of McCandless and were very keen on hearing from him. Another person that McCandless touched was Ronald Franz, an elderly man who lost his family in an accident. He fell so in love with McCandless that he even offered to “adopt him, if [Chris] would be [his] grandson.” (55)* Anyone that came into contact with Chris could see his blatant…

    Christopher Father Chore

    Christopher's father is justified in his actions to hide the truth about his mother from him because his father knows that mother thinks of Christopher as a chore and he didn't want Christopher to feel sad. For instance, when mother writes a letter to Christopher, and explains why she left and says, “ I'm not like your father. Your father is a much more patient person. Maybe if things had been different, maybe if you’d been different, I might have been better at it. But that's just the way things turned out”(Haddon 106). Christopher’s mother shouldn't think of Christopher as a chore; that is morally wrong for a parent to think of their child as a chore. It’s not Christopher’s fault that he has a mild autism. As the parent of the child with…

    A Curious Incident Of A Dog In The Night-Time Analysis

    Interestingly, achieval of this job would mean complete freedom for Christopher, as he would no longer be under the control of his father. But in this "freeing" career, he would be in a "tiny spacecraft". To the majority of people, this would be a negative aspect of being an astronaut. However, for Christopher it is one of the principal attractions he has to the job; he "likes little spaces." Consequently, this contrast between the liberation and confinement of the spacecraft suggests that for Christopher freedom requires enclosure. Similarly in space travel without a person being constrained in a spacecraft, there is no possibility of exploration or growth. This distancing of an astronaut and earth, is similar to the future separation of Christopher and his family, which is achieved only with the aid of Christopher's coping method of physical confinement. Furthermore, as the novel progresses Christopher eventually faces, at least on a small scale, independence, when he runs away from his father. Before he is even able to leave his own backyard Christopher is overwhelmed and "squeeze[s] into the gap between the wall of the shed and the…

    Describe The Relationship Between Christopher And The Dog In The Book Thief

    Although Christopher is different than a lot of people, I actually relate to him quit a bit because he is compassionate towards animals, stresses when too much happens at once, and he hates complicated metaphors. 3. Literary Element Mark Haddon uses character development to create a sort of bond between the reader and the main character, Christopher. The development of Christopher exemplifies the similarities between a normal teenager and a teenager like Christopher. The development makes him a relatable figure, therefore, more intriguing to read about.…

    Nighttime Sacrifice

    From knowing every like and dislike of Christopher to taking care of all his needs, Christopher‘s father did a lot for him. When Christopher‘s mother went away to London with Mr. Shears, Christopher‘s father did not tell him about it, instead he told Christopher that his mother had passed away. Although, this seems like a horrible lie from a reader‘s perspective, Christopher‘s father made this decision by keeping Chistopher‘s best interest in mind. He said “I said she‘s in the hospital because…because I didn‘t know how to explain…”(114). It hurt Christopher‘s dad a lot by not being able to share his grief with his only child, but even Christopher admits “I didn‘t understand about other people having minds” (116).
