I just finished reading this book and I see a whole different character from the beginning to the end. In the beginning I saw Christopher as a young independent kid who needs assistance and a lot of learning to do. By learning I mean going out to see that there is more outside than school, the shop he always stops at after school, not everyone is nice to you and his little street he lives on. Also, Christopher was scared and always needed someone he knew to be with him. Towards the end of the book, Christopher is a kid who defiantly matured. He did what Siobhan said and take 50 seconds and breathe calmly to relax himself. Also, I am very surprised when he considered going to London to live with Mother, how he outsmarted the policeman in the train and was brave enough talk to strangers to ask for help. He also surprised me how we was really well being on his own. Finally, he was very good with all the mean people that he encountered.
Even though Christopher and I are totally different in many ways, I learned a lot from him. I learned that anything is possible if you set your mind to it and work hard. He did all he can to solve the incident with the dog and also found his mom. I find this really impressive for a kid like Christopher to do.
