Chapter 179 - Curious Incident

In this chapter Christopher uses a lot of diagrams to help us see what he is seeing inside his head, this allows us to see that the inner workings of his mind are quite complex and his thinking is very logical as he uses a lot of maps and workings out to get places and to organise himself. In this chapter we also see a lot more references to Sherlock Holmes and how Christopher relates his own detectie and plan making skills to Sherlock Holmes. This is important becasue where his mental ability is less then that of someone who has fully functioning brain power he is exceedingly clever.

He also has to formulate a plan before he does something which shows that he needs to know everything. He can't just be happy-go-lucky. This is a good comparison to sherlock holmes as he also couldnt just do something of the mark he had to have a plan.

The strucutre of this chapter is a lot more like a diary then a book, as there are a lot of he said she said and a lot of examples of where he's been. We also get the main introduction to his plan, this is good as we then can conduct in our own minds what he is about to do.
