Homework: Please complete 1 or 2 options.

Option 1: Please answer 3 of the 5 questions below. 

Option 2: Please answer all 5 questions below. 

Questions: 
1. Christopher spends quite some time describing The Hound of the Baskervilles, including giving away the ending.  Why do you think the author might have chosen to do this?  What do we learn from this particular digression?

2.  Christopher compares his mind to a computer doing searches and to a DVD player.  Explain how his mind makes sense of what he’s experiencing. Does this seem unusual?  How would you describe your own way of remembering the past?

3.  How does Christopher define a rhetorical question and why do you think he would he have trouble understanding them?  How does this cause him problems in this section?  How do you feel about Christopher at this point?  His dad?

4.   Explain Christopher’s color preferences.  Why does he say it is good to have reasons for choosing favorites?

5. What do we learn about Christopher's mother (pg. 82)?  How do you feel about Christopher's mother at this point?
