When I watch superhero movies, I only think of male superheroes, as there are many of them. But then again, there are Wonder Woman, Cat Woman and Black Widow, who are heroes and are also women. All of these heroes exhibit the attribute of independence and courage. Argument 1 The attribute of independence can identify both men and women who are heroes.
Raising a child like Christopher is very difficult. Christopher often disappears in the middle of the night to go out for walks and quickly becomes overwhelmed in new environments. For the better well-being of Christopher, Ed tends to be very overprotective of him. An example of this is shown when Christopher wants to do detective work to find out who killed Wellington. This idea suggests that Christopher has to talk to strangers which he is not comfortable with.
And yet this concealment of emotion dissuades those who would offer friendship in spite of his lineage, leaving him alone. Despite his attempts to ignore his solitude, to not let this loneliness affect him, he is human after all, and Christopher does not know how to simply turn off sentiment. This incapability frightens him, it is a weakness and in his world of darkness, a weakness can simply not be afforded. So he hides it best he can, holding it tight between his fingers and never letting go. It grows within him as he matures, and the stinging seed of loneliness grows into a bitter flower of resentfulness as those around him leave him seperate from their games and
Christopher was already aware that his mother had left and had been struggling with the emotional consequences of her absence. Lying to him only served to further confuse and distress him, as he struggled to reconcile the lie with his own experiences. Moreover, Christopher's father's lie was motivated by his own self-interest. He lied to protect himself from Christopher's rejection and to avoid having to face the difficult emotions associated with his wife's abandonment.
In "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon, various forms of rhetoric are expertly woven into the narrative. The first-person narrative of fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone immerses us in his logical yet emotionally poignant thought process. As Christopher sets out to solve the mystery of Wellington's murder, he relies on his logical appeals, displaying his exceptional mathematical mind and pattern recognition skills. For instance, he says, "And I do maths in my head to calm me down… [p]rime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away" (Haddon 2).
People should not trust anyone when they are full of rage or full of sadness because chances are they would say something that they wanted to keep a secret and they would most likely regret it. In the book, it states “I killed Wellington” “please Christopher. Just...let me explain.”(86) There was a policeman at the door [I told the police] father killed Wellington, who is a dog.”(134) This explains that when Christopher 's father was full of sadness he randomly told Christopher that he killed the dog, but Christopher told the police and did not keep the secret.
Also, on pages 20-21 when Christopher and his father are coming back from the police station he was very calm when talking to him (most of the time), and was asking sure he understood everything he was telling him. Ed says “I said leave it for God’s sake.” After that Christopher didn't say anything else to him for the entire car ride because

Some search for the love of their friends, others for the love of a significant other; however, everyone longs for the love of their family. Throughout life, we seek this ceaseless love thinking the one we rely on remains harmless. We fail to recognize why we trust them and why we remain so attached. So, what happens when our loved one breaks our trust?
The Untold Truth Behind Numbers and Reasoning “Number” is defined as a value expressed by a quantity or amount. But to Christopher, a young autistic teenager with a talent for mathematics, it is so much more. In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, numbers represent all that is logical and simple to Christopher. Christopher narrow mindedly uses mathematical equations and reasoning to interpret humans, nature, and religion. This fails to show him the depth of human emotions and demonstrates that one must use multiple forms of reasoning to understand the world around them.

The novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, was written by Mark Haddon, and the narrator is an autistic boy— Christopher John Francis Boone. I think the author’s purpose of writing this book was to help us understand autism, and how the people diagnosed with it perceive the world and how it affects their lives. I believe he accomplished what he set out to do because I have learned a lot about autism through Christopher’s thoughts and understanding of the world around him. I can tell that Christopher is very eccentric. Another purpose he probably had was to entertain because the book has a light touch of humor.
In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the night Christopher’s parents share one important aspect which is the frustration of not being able to understand Christopher with the condition he has.

Christopher grew up without knowing much about the world and life it self. He acts as what many would say a child. This is due to his Aspergers. In the beginning of the novel Christopher explains what he thinks of life.
One of these are the reveal that Christopher’s mother was alive for the last two years.

The novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is full of many important events, but the one that really got me thinking and stood out to me the most is when Christopher runs away from his father’s house and goes to London. When Christopher was frightened because of his father, he worked up the nerve to leave and take a train to London. The trip to London was very scary and stressful for Christopher, he had to face and deal with many of his fears. For example, he had to talk to strangers, be in tight places with lots of people and he had to listen to the loud screeching of the trains leaving and arriving at the station.
