Also when he was informed that his mother died and when he was told this tragic news, he did not seem upset. He just tried to figure out where the body and soul would go. The thought’s he has about death is very uncommon and unique. Mrs Forbes had told him that his mother has gone to heaven, but as explained earlier, Christopher does not believe in heaven after death. He explains that when a person dies their bodies become with the ground and disintegrate into the earth and turn into molecules which we breath in the air “But the smoke goes out of the chimney and into the air and sometimes I look up into the sky and I think that there are molecules of mother up there, or in clouds over Africa or the Antarctic, or coming down as rain in rainforests in Brazil, or in snow somewhere.”(33) Christopher’s autism drives him to be scared of little things in life such as being touched and
Even the clock, still a few minutes off noon..", time is going by slow for Ellen as she awaits for Paul to return to the house. Ellen becomes angry at Paul when she asks Paul to move out of the house "there was a dark resentment in her voice now..." so they can be away from the dust storm. Also Ellen wants to move because she thinks that it hard for their baby to breathe because of the dust in the air.

Another reason that Ellen feels isolated is of lack of communication with others this causes her to break down and eventually run away with the baby to try to get away from the storm "I'm so caged- if I could only break away and run".

Bruno’s Mother is equally the blame for Bruno’s death as his Father because at the start she wouldn’t tell him where and why they were moving away from their house in Berlin, Germany. Because she wouldn’t tell him, it made him curious and wanted to explore around. Before moving to Out-with, Bruno’s Grandmother knew what her son would have to do, so she didn’t want him to go to Out-with in the first place, and she had said it was no place for young children to go, and because Bruno had no idea what was happening he had asked his father.

I was unable to describe to Mary that her father will no longer into the room and pick her up or even tell her stories at bedtime. I also urged her brother, Edward Jr. to not try to mention it to her, but support and take care of her as best as he can. Mary was growing up and meanwhile this whole time I was telling her stories of her father and everything that happened between him and me inclusive the part with Bertha and how she burned the house down. Edward Jr. looks a younger version of his father, finally happy and married to a wonderful wife who is expecting her first son within this year. Mary enjoys going out with her friends to parties and even brings my cousin’s daughters with her.
