What do you learn about Christopher’s writing process in Chapter 107?

Christopher describes the plot of his favorite book, The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Chris uses metaphor in the telling of the story to relate to his own mystery.

Christopher likes The Hound of the Baskervilles because it is a detective story with many clues and red herrings. Red herrings are plot elements that lead the reader to think the story will proceed in one direction when the story actually goes another way. Christopher identifies most with Holmes. Like Holmes, he can focus solely on the task at hand, and to notice obvious things that other people do not observe.
