When looking at this book in relation to The Wounded Storyteller Christopher tells his story by writing this book. It allows him to explore the world around him in regards to his illness and how it affects him and his family. He so wants to have more control of his life, illness and all. By way of telling his story he figures out that he can do a lot of things that he never thought that he could before. He gains self-confidence and thus gains independence.

Christopher is a brave soul that wants nothing more than to be an independent person and live his life the way that he sees fit. He finds that he has many obstacles to overcome in order to do this but through preservation and the telling of his story he will indeed succeed in doing just that.
