1. I find it very interesting that Christopher is able to memorize every prime number into the thousands. I also like the fact that he is incapable of telling lies, simply because only one thing happened at a particular moment and he cannot say that something else did. I can understand why a person like him cannot believe in God or anything larger than humans, because his mind is simply incapable of doing so, due to his autism.
2. I think that it is terrible how Christopher's father has lied to him on multiple occasions. First off, he hid dozens of letters from the boy's mother, who was, in fact, still alive. He lied to Christopher, stating that his mother had died of a heart attack in the hospital. Also, he had lied to Christopher the entire time about Wellington, when he was the one who impaled the dog with a pitchfork. I can understand why Christopher can no longer trust him, and why he wants to run away to live with his mother.
3. It surprises me that Christopher is able to find his way to his mother's house, a place where he has never been, from a very far distance. His tactic for finding the train station in his city is very smart, and I think that it is pure luck that he made it to London, considering that he was too afraid to get off of the shelf on the train to even check to see where the train had stopped. It is also interesting how he made it through the subway because of the amount of people in it, and because of almost being run over by one of the trains. It was good to find out that Christopher did extremely well on his math exam. This must open many opportunities for him later in life.
