Character Sketch
The first impression of Christopher John Francis Boone is that he is a dumb child with learning disabilities. Well I am here to tell you that this is absolutely wrong! He is so smart he, "..know[s] all the countries of the world and their capitols and every prime numbers up to 7,057... knew that it meant 'happy' like when I'm reading about the Apollo space missions..." (2). I would like to know if one of you is smarter than that! He also is almost in love with mathematics. He dreams of some day being a famous mathematician and going to collage for it. But, he has many behavioral problems such as: not talking to people for a long time (once for 5 weeks), not eating or drinking for a long time, doesn't like being touched (he hits people for it), screaming when he is confused or angry, claustrophobia, smashing when he is angry or confused, groaning, not liking yellow or brown things (??), refusing to use his toothbrush if someone touched it, not eating food if other foods are touching (I do this), not knowing when people are angry with me, and not smiling. O.k. those are just a few so you will have to read the book if you want to know more. So, I think we can all learn from him how to be curious even if things are hard, not to trust strangers, and to preserver even if you are afraid.
