Final Essay Question for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime

Near the end of the novel, after Christopher sits for his A Level Maths, he thinks, “And it’s best if you know a good thing is going to happen, like an eclipse or getting a microscope for Christmas.  And it’s bad if you know a bad thing is going to happen, like having a filling or going to France.  But I think it is worst if you don’t know whether it is a good or a bad thing which is going to happen,” (215).

Consider Chris’s statement and write an essay in which you discuss how this statement not only fits Chris, but the human condition.  The desire to know whether something will be “a good or a bad thing” and to determine how then to proceed is part of the human condition. Choose a theme from the novel that explains your thinking about this idea and support your thesis with a character and a symbol or motif.  Use text evidence, properly cited.  Your essay is over a complete novel; it should have some length to it.
