Juliana, 

   Your comments about Christopher's parents' reactions to him, about 
  the problematic aspects of Siobhan's interactions with Christopher
  that become clear from a really close examination of what she says to him, 
  and the uniqueness of every individual's personality and experiences 
  are all very perceptive.  I think it would be wrong to take what
  you say about the impossibility of understanding others too far, though, 
  if that meant that we didn't try to understand and empathize with 
  those who are different.  Still, good work.  


  Some specific comments:
   
  (1) At the bottom of page 1:  "Various characters throughout the novel 
      are of the belief that ... " is a bit wordy.  You could simplify it
      to say "Various characters throughout the novel believe that ... "

  (2) "Both parents can never understand Christopher because ... " is OK; 
      you might also say "Neither parent can ever understand Christopher ..."

  (3)  Top of page 3:  "The family is broken because the parents are neither 
       willing to change nor learn how to interact properly with their child."
       How about "... willing neither to change nor to learn ... " (the issue
       is that both "to change" and "to learn" are infinitives here).

  (4)  Middle of page 3:  "eat healthy" is OK; I know it's something people
       say all the time in everyday speech.  But "eat healthily" would 
       be more grammatical.
