The Curious Case of the Dog at Night-time (Point of View)

~Author's Note: The was a homework assignment in LA about writing about the point of view taken inside our book, The Curious Case of the Dog at Night-time.

In the crazy bok of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time", the story is narrated by 15 year old Christopher. I believe the story was best written by Christopher as he is autistic which adds an interesting twist to the story, and that he adds observations that other people wouldnt. You can see the emotions of Christopher in his writing; the sadness of seeing Wellington dead, the anger aimed at his father, and joy of learning that his mother was alive and well.

In the view of the father, the book would be completely different in the voice and observations. The events might be the same, but it would be a more boring view. It would also be a darker story as the father lies a lot to Christopher and keeps a lot of secrets, some that are good, and many that are bad.

The fighting force in this book, the police, would be terrible narrating. The werent in enough of the scenes to know what was going on and they would all be acting with a "valor". There might not be much emotion, except for when they learn about the dog and Christopher's predictament.

All in all, Christopher was the best possible choice as he made an interesting turn on things.

Character Analysis- Christopher's Father

Christopher's dad is a character who has good intentions, but makes bad decisions because of those intentions. The first bad decision that is made apparent was the fact that he had good intentions about keeping Christopher's mom leave a secret, but made the bad decision in lying to Christopher that his mother was dead. This resulted in unnecessary consequences as Christopher grew upset when he learned the truth. I believe that Christopher's dad made this decision because he wanted to protect Christopher from the fact that his mother left him. Even though Christopher eventually found out, the father partly succeeded in protecting Christopher. The one thing that was clear about Chris's dad was that he loved Christopher. He learned about Christopher's autism and he made a new kind of "hug" when Christopher showed he did not want to be touched. Christopher's dad has many good intentions, he just makes bad decisions.
