Hello, all! I'm a little late to the forum but I appreciate all of your thoughtful posts thus far. My name is Miss Hardiman and I will be teaching Regular/Honors British Literature next year at Holy Trinity. After reading these posts, I'm even more excited to work with you all! You have done a great job explaining Christopher as a character and noting that he is different. Some of you also picked up on the fact that Christopher's uniqueness makes him more perceptive and attentive to his surrounding world. A few other questions to which you might want to respond as you write your other posts:
1. Do you think the other characters in the novel treat Christopher justly? Pick two characters and explain their relationship with the protagonist. 2. Christopher becomes frustrated when people do not tell the truth, or present distorted views of the truth. Do you think his method of being blunt and saying everything truthfully all the time is better than the rest of the world's approach to truth? 3. The author portrays several broken relationships in the book (i.e. Christopher's parents, Mr./Mrs. Shears). What do you think the author is trying to convey through that?
