Rebecca Hanrahan, Comments 3 and 4

3. I agree with Neel’s post. Another specific time when I feel sorry for Christopher is at the train station. This incident proves how hard life is for autistic people. Simple tasks such as catching a train can become a disaster for Christopher, and other people with disabilities. I’m looking forward to researching autism when our class finishes reading this novel.

4. Many other posts have made me consider something that I hadn’t thought of before. Christopher’s social abilities are so basic, he doesn’t think about the reasons why the father killed Wellington. If Christopher’s mind wasn’t so set on the father being a mad murderer, he would realize that it was done it out of rage, and not just for the sake of killing.
