Christopher Boone the main character in the book the Curious incident of the dog in the night-time is writing a novel of his experiences through trying to find out who has killed Wellington. Wellington is said to be the main mystery but really it's about his mother who is believed to be dead. Christopher overcomes trials and challenges dealing with aspbergers.
Mark Haddon the author of this book writes in a style as if he also has the disease or has dealt with people who may have had it. He lists of problems they may face and how some people react to this. He also puts an outside look on it using the neighbors reaction with Chris. An example he uses in his work is when something is said but it can have different meanings. When they say is confusing to him but in the same instance he is confusing to them. It's hard to comprehend at times as it is hard for Christopher to understand others. Christopher only likes certain things mostly in a certain order. He needs things explained to him fully. " Be quiet, but they don't tell you how long to be quiet for." In this instance Christopher likes to know these things because he goes by a schedule every day. When things go out of order he gets confused and angry. There is one instance in the book where Christopher begins to describe how the brain works. He uses windows and other every day like objects to explain this. Even though it is explained with things that i know it is still hard to comprehend because there is either too much information or it's just worded differently than i can understand.
While investigating Wellingtons death he finds that his father has killed wellington and escapes to his mother's house because it is safer and he has no where else to go. In this travel Chris overcomes a lot of fears. He goes into crowds, talks to people, and becomes out of order. He gains self- knowledge overall.
