Out of all Christopher’s talents, the one I would want is his ability to stay determined and to understand math. Throughout the book, Christopher can understand and solve math problems the same way most people would read a book. While I have always enjoyed science, I tend to have difficulty in math class, particularly algebra. There are tons of professions I would be happy to have, except that they involve math. For example, to be a doctor would be a great job, but I know that it would take a thorough understanding of numbers. Interior designers must be acquainted with geometry. As for determination, when Christopher decides he wants something, he won’t let it go. Being a huge procrastinator, I know that staying focused takes talent. If I had Christopher’s determination and understanding of math, I know I would do better in school and be less stressed. For example, I wouldn’t be writing this on a Sunday night, my science homework still waiting for me, and my room still unclean.
