Subjec: What makes Christopher different from the average person?

In this work, Christopher is the main character. It is an autistic child who sees the life
differently of us and tries to explain the death of his neighbor's dog, willingthon. In the first time, it
will be explained what the normal person is and in a second time, the difference of Christopher will
be analyzed.

First, what is the normal person. Let's take as an example the characters in the book that
surrounds Christopher. There is his father or neighbour who normally live without known
preference. These do not take into account for example, the fact of putting the socks before or after
the pants because it does not change anything. On the other hand, normal people are shown as likely
people with the same things in common. To be different would say to be better or worse according
to the rules that man has described as normal. In reality, there is not of normal because everyone has
their own perception of "normal" and "different".

In a second time, there is Chropher who points out her difference through her preference for
the prime numbers, or for the red color. He is a teenager of 15 years, 3 months and 2 days, he is
very precise about everything and always needs to know the time. Christopher is very intelligent, he
knows all the capitals and knows a lot about science like the human body, the universe or even the
stars for example. He writes this book by moving from one subject to another because he does not
like order or complicated things because it makes him toned the head. He is also very observant and
sees a lot of detail that people described as "normal people" would not see.

To conclude, the term "different" and the "normal" changes according to the person.
Christopher doesn't get worse like everyone else because he has his preferences, habits, dreams and
vision. Despite that, it is a very intelligent young man even with his difference I find he’s great.
