The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time By Christopher Boone

In the book “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time,” Christopher John Francis Boone is an autistic boy who lives with his father and begins writing a book for the special school that he attends. The book helped him solve the mystery of the murder of the neighbor’s dog Wellington. The novel finishes with a bittersweet ending since Christopher receives a puppy and an A on his math test, but his parents are very angry at each other, and it’s hard for Christopher to trust his father once again. Christopher goes to London to find his mother, and after he spends awhile with her, he feels it is time to return home since he wants to take his math examine and his mother doesn’t feel that it’s safe living with Mr. Shears. “And when Mother

I went to school every time he got into a fight. And you? What? You wrote him some fucking letters.” Mother and Father both had very opposing arguments on who was in the wrong. Both of them didn’t handle their situations in the way that they should have, so now it came down to Christopher finding out on his own and leading to this problem.
