The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time- Post 3

After reading chapter 229, I am both intrigued and disturbed by Christopher's interpretation of paradise. His idea of peace and tranquility is a world where nearly everybody is dead, which is contrary to most peoples' need for human contact. I imagine Christopher feels this way about people because his condition has made him completely different from everybody he has ever met. He has never found a living person that he could connect with, and this has lead him to develop a distrust for all people, hence his wish for a life of solitude.
