This week, we read the sixth section of our book and Alexa was the scribe. Danny asked "Why did Christopher stay in the luggage department?" I responded that he felt safe in quiet places, and that noone would really notice him for a while. I also said that this was a bad idea because he wouldnt know what stop to get off at. Danny then posed the question "Why isnt Christopher happy to see his mom?" I responded that it is a autistic trait to not express feelings. I then asked "Why does Christopher hold the knife even if he knows that it is illegal?" Alexa responded that it made himi feel safe and Danny added that he would onlt use it in self-defence. Alexa then inquired "Why is Christopher scared of Mr. Shears?" I responded that he probably thinks of Mr. Shears as a stranger and he might treat him like he treats Mrs. Alexander. As we approach the end of the book, the group is getting very excited for the ending.
