Do you ever look at cars and when you see a red car it's a good day for you but if you see a brown car it's a bad day? This boy named Christopher Bonne was a boy that was diagnosed with a disease called Aspergers. He saw the world very differently than most people, he was not able to figure out people's emotions or wasn't able to understand people very well. His mind functions very differently and in the book as well the chapters has been written in prime numbers. This boy has came to a murder scene which a dog was dead from getting stabbed by a pitch fork, since he like dogs a lot it made him sad to see a dead dog so he was carrying the dog in his arms. The women named Mrs. Shears came out and saw her dog was dead and she screamed at him. At this point Christopher couldn't handle it since he couldn't understand what was going on so he had to stick his head in the ground and cover his ears this was his comfortable zone when he couldn't here anything. From this story I wanted to show the differences in his mind/point of view vs. how we see things and how we take actions differently. So I am going to talk about the differences in which his mind and our normal peoples mind functions. Christopher was a very smart boy when it came to math, he was able to solve most of the questions instantly, and how he solves the problems were different than how we solve problems. But what he suffered the most was communication as you seen in the introduction he had a hard time understanding people, so by putting his head in the ground and covering his ears mnakes him calm and not think about what's going on in the real world. For example in the book after Mrs. Shears saw Christopher holding her dead dog she called the cops as well. Christopher actually liked the cops since they wore uniform and fought the bad guys, but when the cop started asking questions to him it was starting to give him too much information that he wasn't able to analyze each one.
