1 By Brandon, David and Matt.

2  Christopher is a 15 year old teenager. He is a confused boy with only a pet rat as a friend and only a father in his life. Or so we think. Christopher lives in Swindon with his father and attends a school there as well. He is a very intelligent young man who is studying for a high math A test. He is going to be one of few who have taken this test in his school. The story Christopher tells us mostly resolves around a murder someone committed on Mr wellington who is the neighbourhood dog. The dog was stabbed to death with a garden fork. Later on in the story we find out that the murderer was actually Christopher's father. We also find out that his mother did not die. His father lied to him and Christopher found some letters from his mother written out to his name. She has been alive the whole time. Later that night Christopher ran away from home and went to London to go live with his mother. His mother was shocked that all this time Christopher was under the impression of her being dead. They later on in the story moved back to Swindon and lived in a small flat. Christopher ended up doing his exam and getting a A grade and was very happy.

3 Relating to people- Christopher is nerves when he is in a small room and there a lot of people in there. Behaviour- a reaching to physical, when people touch him. His interest in the physical world-the world interest in a way that we don’t understand.

4  This book is narrorated in the first person, the story is told from his point of view, mostly from inside his head where the description takes place. Siboin always told him to describe what was most important to him. (he draws maps, maths and outline) Due to his autism he goes on these wild tangents about his surrounding world.

5  The most prominent traits within Christopher are that he has a particularity with red and yellowed coloured objects, he has a strong dislike for things that are brown, such as poop!  He hates when people and the people he doesn't touch him, he gets scared easiy by this.

6  Chris's character can be very 'jumpy' where he would be talking about his personal lifr, then the minute talking about planet earth.  He has a habbit of drowning out the noises and fighting around him by covering his ears with his had, colsing his eyes and groaning.  He won't talk to people that are starangers, but he does feel comfortable with poiceman

7  His swiss army knife is what Chris uses as a protection tool that can keep him safe. He uses it to defend against strangers. this is his own way of self defense.

8  These 43 letters his mother wrote to Chris we to be able to keep in touch with him after she had left the family and gone to England. These letters can symbolize the truth that what his father told his was a lie. That infact this proves to Chris his mother is still alive. This says that Chris's mother even though she left still loves him and cares for his well being, even though she is not there

9  The train ticket that Chris buys to get to get from Swindon to London to go and live with his mother symbolizes that he is growing, maturing and learning. This most of all shows that Christopher is free from his father who murdered Wellington, who he can no longer trust. This ticket is Christophers ticket to freedom and a ticket to a new lif with his mother in London
