Why I Love Sports

Sports have always meant a lot to me. In my entire life I have done something with sports. Some I found funnier than others, but I have always been active. I have played soccer, handball, athletics, skating and cross-country skiing. The only sport I have continued with is handball.

I like doing sports because I can be in activity. It is a great opportunity to train and stay in shape. I think it is boring to go training by myself, like jogging in the forest. And when I play handball, which is a team sport, I meat other people and train together with them.

Most of my friends also play handball, and many of them play at the same team as I do. Every time I go to practice I get the opportunity to be with them. And I think it is great to do something I love and at the same time be with my friends.

I am also a competitive person. Small events and tasks in my daily life can easily become a competition, and of course I hate losing. By doing a sport I get to compete, and the feeling after I have done a great job or won a game is great. It is even greater when I can share that felling with my friends.

Another reason for why I love sport is that I always have an improvement and a goal to work towards. And when you have reached that goal you feel satisfied and happy at the same time, but then you create a new goal for yourself and your team. The feeling of being a part of something and achieve mastery is great.

That is why I love sports!

Why did you like/dislike the book?

There are many reasons why I liked this book, but there are also some parts which I did not found that interesting.

First, I found the book funny to reed, but also a bit confusing. I was not prepared that the first person´s view was different, but after a while I got used to it. The way Christopher described the environment and every little detail, made the book very different from any other book I have read before. It made me understand how people with Asperger’s syndrome are. And I also got an insight in how they look at the world, and their way of thinking. Small details I might take for granted seems to mean something great for a person with autism.  

Second, I thought that the story in the book was cute. The thought of Christopher doing detective work, like going around and asking questions. Or when he ran off, got on the train and went to London to stay with his mother.

The entire book is very entertaining, especially because Christopher is so naive and acts very differently from other children. For example when he sat at the train station for hours, or when he hid from the policeman. Several times I sat laughing by myself because of the funny incidents in the book.

There were also some parts I did not found that entertaining. It was pretty obvious that Christopher was a bright kid, and when he started explaining the math I got a bit bored. Sometimes the examples and the pictures made it easier to understand what he was talking about, but a few times I thought it was unnecessary.

This is a very special book, and you will not find anyone like it. I recommend you to read it and just enjoy the unusual way of writing.
