Prediction – Development of Christopher

At any point in the story predict how some character is going to change/develop (character development) as the story progresses. How will they change?

I decided to write about Christopher because I think that his character will be changed the most by the time the story is finished. By now his life is very monotonous, but that is also a point that makes perfectly sense if you think about how much he is restricted by external circumstances (cars, food, and so on..) and how hard this must be for other people to handle.
You can already see slight changes in his personality, I remember a few times that Christopher decided to ignore his fears, sets his priorities different because he subscribed himself to a higher goal. 
But how far will he really go? 

I think there are still many possibilities how this book could end, but I will limit it to two very different outcomes:
Either Christopher will break under the effects that the big wide world has on him, and he will end up heading back home and withdraw himself from everyone and everything that he once loved.

But because this is a book that is meant to be funny and not depressing, it is more likely that my second prediction will take place.
Because you can already see Christophers character changing, there is a high chance that he will gain a lot of new experiences and therefore be able to strengthen his own personality. Maybe even surpass his limits. I think whatever is going to happen until the end of the story, Christopher will overcome many obstacles and just not give up, so in the end his life wont be ruled by so many constraints anymore. Maybe he will learn what it means to forgive and hopefully he will experience and maybe even understand what it means to be truly loved.

Recount – The Story

In your own words what has happened in the book? At any point in the story, retell the major details of the story's plot so far.  The story begins with Christopher discovering Wellington‘s body. Because he likes dogs, he decides to find out who killed him and to write a book about it. To be a good detective, Chrisopher needs to grow far beyond his borders, the borders he has because of his aspergers syndrome. But it’s not only his own that Christopher crosses because in telling white lies and doing things his father forbid him to to, they get into a lot of fights with each other and their relationship starts falling apart more and more. And while investigating his case, Christopher comes across a lot more than just Wellingtons murderer, which is by the way his own father. He finds out that his presumed dead mother was still alive but she she ran away with Mr. Shears, the neighbour she had an affair with. She tried to contact Christopher many times in the past, but his father...

Empathy – 5 Questions asked to: Ed Boone

Write down 5 questions you would like to ask a character. Say why you would like to ask these questions. I'd like to ask Ed Boone 5 questions. Question 1: How and when did you find out that Christopher has the Asperger’s Syndrome? I’d like to ask him this question because I assume that in the first few years of your child’s life you wouldn’t realise that there is something wrong. I wonder when and which signs they detected first. Question 2: Do you think Christopher’s disability had something to do with your marriage not going so well? Only watching from the sidelines it is very hard to estimate how difficult it might be for parents and their own relationship to have a child with Asperger’s Syndrome, especially if the child can’t show you it’s love the way other children would. Question 3: Do you wish Christopher would show you more often that he loves you? I think I already know his answer, however as a reader you don’t get to know much about about E...

Characterization – Relationship Ed and Chris Boone

Write about the relationship between two characters and how it is changing or developing.  What are the characteristics of the relationship? What does it work or not work? What is changing? How do they effect one another? The relationship between Chrisopher and Ed Boone. I’d read further in my book and found out a lot of new information. My guess about the storyline of the book is confirmed – that it is about much more than just finding out who killed Wellington. After Judy’s alleged death Christopher and Ed had a rough but profound relationship and were used to one another. Ed had known his son well and Christopher believed he’d known his father. But Christopher’s investigation led him into a situation that he shouldn’t have gotten himself into.  Christopher is anyway having a hard time putting trust into people. But after he found out that his mother had still been alive (and left them) and his father had killed Wellington, he felt like the world was cras...
