There is no such thing as "normal" when it comes to human beings

"There is no such thing as normal when it comes to human beings." It's true and I solemnly agree with that statement. Reason being is humans are diverse creatures. We create ourselves by ourselves and with how things in life affects us. Just like a rose is different from a sunflower; every person is different from the other. Since there is no one that's exactly the same as the other, that means people cannot be normal.

What's normal? That's a question that cannot be defined in life, but only in a dictionary which states: ordinary, typical, and regular. Humans cannot be ordinary since we are all unique in our own way. Typical, we cannot be typical since our decisions in life are not determined always to be the same and obvious or well recognized. They can change from time to time and not only that, but ,we, ourselves change. We cannot be regular since we are different and diverse which keeps us irregular. No person can be normal. Every person is their own unique self. "C'est la vie." This is life. That's how people are.

Jason Statham - Christopher’s Father

He would be a suitable character in a way, even though he's more of the action type, because he actually is able to act affectionately well around children. That would be viewed a lot in the movie "Homefront." He also reacts quickly to incidents. Lastly, he's bald and I always imagined of Christopher's father as a bald person.

Macaulay Culkin - Christopher

His acting skills even as child were very comprehensive. He acted his mystery and funny scenes flawlessly. He would've been able to hoax his audience into really believing he is Christopher. The movies that really made me think of him as Christopher were "Home Alone" since he actually acted a bit a detective. As well as "The Good Son" where he takes a mysterious and dangerous character.

Sandra Bullok - Christopher’s Mom

I'd imagine Christopher's mom looked like Sandra Bullok; that's one reason I'd pick her. She also has the ability to act as a stern character, yet has a really soft side to her; she did so in her movies "The Engagement" and "The Blind Side."

Christopher’s decision

Christopher found out that his father lied to him about his mother’s death and that his father killed the dog.Christopher hated lying and loved dogs and when he found out he was so overwhelmed. He didn’t trust his father anymore. he slept in the garden that night and hid when his father was looking for him, He decided to run away from home he thought of many things before deciding that it would be best to go and live with his mother in London.

“Father murdered Wellington. That meant he could murder me, because I couldn’t trust him, even though he said “Trust me,” because he had told a lie about a big thing.”

There is no such thing as normal when it comes to human beings.

There is no limit to the word “normal”, and people’s standards for “normal” is various. I believe that everyone has a habit or a trait in their personality that makes them different than everybody else. I think its impossible for everyone to be “normal” plus it would be extra boring , there are some people in life seek for normality and they follow some standards that everyone else is following and think its “normal”. but normal can mean things we usually see in our daily life , we can see actions in the street that are new and uncommon ; we don’t consider it as normal. Christopher in the story is aware that he is not like others, he’s smart in maths , he tries his best to understand people around him, he knows what he wants and does what is best form him, and this makes him himself.

THE FINAL DECISION!

It seemed that his mother’s affair was not the only secret that was kept from Christopher. While Christopher took it upon him to look for his book, he went to his father’s room hoping to find his book. Christopher, however, found something else. The truth that his father kept from him was revealed to him through the letters that was sent to him by his mom. Too shocked to accept anything of it, Christopher vomited all his disappointment. To make things even worse, his father decided to be honest with his son and tell him everything including the fact that he killed Wellington with the excuse that Mrs. Shears cared about him more than Christopher or his father. Christopher’s father words had the opposite effect of what they were meant for. The truth didn’t help in anyway except making Christopher scared from his father that he decided to run away taking Toby along with him.

In chapter 179, Christopher faces the fact that he has to make a decision. Being the person he is, Christopher lists all his options, and starts eliminating each one that seems impossible for him to do. Christopher options were:

Living with Sobian. Christopher didn’t think that was acceptable because he thought that it wasn’t one of her duties to care of him outside the school due to the fact that she wasn’t a family member, and so she was considered as a stranger.

Living with Mrs. Alexander. Even though Christopher had some conversations with her including the one about his mom’s affair, she was still considered as a stranger, so Christopher didn’t want to live with her and use anything in her house.

Living with Mrs. Shears. This options was the one that Christopher stilled with at first. To Christopher, Mrs. Shears was not a stranger and he had stayed with her before, so it was okay if he lived with her. Christopher also believed that if he told her that his father was the one who killed Wellington, she would consider him as a friend and allow him to stay with her since she will understand why he couldn’t live with his dad anymore. However, this option was eliminated due to the fact that Mrs. Shears didn’t open the door when Christopher knocked on it.

Going back home and living with his father. This option however wasn’t a one that Christopher was fond of, especially at this moment. The thought of living with someone who killed scared Christopher a lot that it caused his heart beat fast and his legs to shake. It seemed that Christopher wasn’t able to get over that fact that his dad killed Wellington.

Staying in the garden. This option wasn’t a good one either. Other than the fact that the weather was freezing and the ground wasn’t comfortable, it was a place near his dad which means that he eventually will find Christopher. Having this thought made Christopher feel sick again, and thus it was eliminated as well.

Going to with Uncle Terry. First of Uncle Terry lived in Sunderland and Christopher had no idea at all how to get there, so this option wasn’t really an option. Add to that the fact that Uncle Terry wasn’t really Christopher best type of people. Christopher didn’t like Uncle Terry because he smoked cigarettes and he ruffled Christopher’s hair which means that he made Christopher uncomfortable because he doesn’t like anyone to touch him, even if he liked them.

Going to live with his mother in London. This was Christopher last option and to him it seemed as the best option at the moment. Christopher seemed to more fond of his mother more than his dad at the moment. He also remembered that address from the letter that he read, so it wouldn’t really be hard to get there, so Christopher settled with his option.

After making up his mind, Christopher decided to leave Toby with Mrs. Alexander since the trip was long and he didn’t want to take a risk and lose him in the train. However, he was forced to take him with him because ran away when Mrs. Alexander mentioned calling up his father and Christopher didn’t want that. Christopher went back home and took things that he needed for the journey including his father credit card. He decided since he was familiar with the train station that he will use the train to go to London. Christopher paid a visit to his school in an attempt to ask Christopher about the way to the train station, but he was welcomed with his dad’s van in front of the school, so he decided to find the way on his own and he did.

“Lying is always wrong: White lies and lies of omission are as immoral as outright lies.”

I totally agree with this statement. Lying is wrong whatever the situation is and no matter what intentions are held behind it. In my opinion, I think that lying is nothing more than an excuse that people use to avoid the consequences of something wrong that they did. It is an obvious way of showing fear and weakness. People who lies are people that are considered unreliable. They, in my opinion, are a game in other people hands for even though others spend time with them, they never consider them as real friends that they can depend on. On the other hand, people who speaks the truth are people who deserve respect and forgiveness because for a person to be able to admit his mistake to himself and others, he needs a lot of courage.

White lies may seem as nothing, however using them will make it easier for you to lie, and unintentionally you will start telling bigger lies that may hurt you and others as well. Lying is basically a habit and the more you use it, the familiar it will become to you until you don’t recognize the lies you tell from the truth, so it is better to avoid them from the beginning because their consequences won’t be something that we would like to deal with in the future.

White lies are a low level of lying in which people believe that they won’t hurt anyone and that they are doing it for others good. I don’t believe that white lies are acceptable because no matter what, it is still a lie, and a lie will also be discovered in the end. When that time comes people won’t accept your lie just because you had good intentions behind it because the only thing they will be able to see is that you lied to them. Some people claim that they are trying to solve a problem between your two friends through a lie. This isn’t really the best way to solve the problem since it may hurt the pride of your friends and there may be something that don’t really know and through your lie you make things worse than what they were on. For example, you are trying to solve a problem between two people and then you convince one of them to apologize first and then you discover that the other one was the one at mistake. In this case, do you expect this girl to trust you ever again? The answer is no. In my opinion, there are many ways to solve a problem between two people, so why do we have to use a dishonest and cowardly way like a lie?

Lies effect also may not show immediately, but the longer it takes to be the worst it will be. For example, imagine that someone really trusted you and then he suddenly discovered that you lied to him, how do you expect him to react? Basically, all the respect and love that he held for you will be the barrier that will prevent him from forgiving you because he was hurt, and no one get hurt from someone they don’t care about. Even if he did forgive you later, he won’t be able to trust you again like he did before. It is like you broke a glass, even if you put the pieces together and stick them perfectly it will never be the same as if was before. That’s is exactly what happened between Christopher and his father. Christopher never imagined that his father will lie to him. His trust was so big that when the truth was revealed to him, he wasn’t able to accept it. He decided ran away from his dad to his mother who left him because at that moment even she was better than his dad. I don’t think that a good feeling to have, so why do we have to lie and put ourselves in such a situation?

In simple words, lying is a good for nothing thing. It only separate people and make them lose trust in each other, so no matter what excuse you may have it doesn’t justify your lie at all. Also, no matter what color it is, a lie is still a lie.

Lying is always wrong

i think in this specific novel lying is always wrong like when Christopher “Also, dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk.”and that shows how much Christopher hates Lying .i think that a white lie is the same thing as a normal lie since it is one thing.so its weird to me how Christopher chooses to use white lies and to hate using normal Lying.

the other thing i think is bad about Lying is ,since i think that white lying is the same as normal lying then it is wrong to lie to some one he love.like when he says“And Father said, "Christopher, do you understand that I love you?" And I said "Yes," because loving someone is helping them when they get into trouble, and looking after them, and telling them the truth, and Father looks after me when I get into trouble, like coming to the police station, and he looks after me by cooking meals for me, and he always tells me the truth, which means that he loves me.” that tells us how he ignores what he tells us.

1.) i think freddie highmore can act as Christopher since he has the talent of acting in different ways like in the movie Lars and the Real Girl. in my opinion freddie highmore has a great sense of humori also think that freddie highmore looks smart like christopher.

2.) i think Angelina Jolie will be the perfect mother since she is a perfect mother in real life.

she will also be a good mother since she can change her characteristics in acting quick and easily and makes it the exact characteristics of the new character.

i also think she will make a great character since she lose her temper in movies.

3.) i think that johnny Depp would be the perfect guy to act Mr sheers character since

1. in my opinion he can act as a perfect guy to be on an affair

2. he can turn real mean because most of his movies he is mean

3. he can be the perfect guy to live a love story that ruins another persons life and chose him since i think his face would be acceptable for Mr.sheers.
