Christopher possesses many exceptional qualities, but the one I find most remarkable is the way he analyzes information. One example is in the very beginning of the book, when he explains metaphors and figurative language. Christopher has so much knowledge about many things. He also explains and pulls apart his meaning of a white lie and death.
I don’t think the other characters in the book believe Christopher is as smart as he really is. When Rhodri questions Christopher’s mathematical knowledge, it doesn’t seem like he is genuinely interested, more that he just wants to be entertained. Christopher definitely is gifted in mathematics, but I find his ability to notice detail and life around him more intriguing.
If I could pay more attention to my surroundings in the same way Christopher does, I would share my thoughts with other people. I would do better in school, because I would write thought-provoking papers and give more knowledgeable answers. Also, knowing so much about the world would make a person more interesting to be friends with.
