Christopher and Holmes

I had already seen Sherlock Holmes before we watched it in class. I already knew what was going to happen. But, Sherlock Holmes is a great movie and does kind of relate to our book. Christopher is similar in many ways to Holmes.
First of all, Holmes and Christopher think very logically. Holmes for example, uses logic and rational reasoning to figure out every part of Lord Darkwood's plan and reveals it at the end. Christopher thinks very logically when he found the pitchfork in Mrs. Shears' shed to figure out that it was probably used to kill Wellington. He then also was smart enough to know that it could have been a red herring.
A second way that Christopher and Holmes are similar is how they both observe everything. Holmes showed how observant he was when he noticced how there was a light adhesive that kept the slab of stone together. Christopher shows this when he was in london and all of the signs rushed to his mind at once. There is however one obvious difference, Holmes can process all of the information at once and Christopher if he tried to process all of the information at once his asbergers would cause all of the information to become jumbled together.
