I really enjoyed this book, it gives people a new perspective on things, and tells a story from a new/different point of view. Very good book, but the book could be confusing at times. ]]> 2018-10-04 18:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/289313942 Link to authors website mckenzie_dugan https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/289332106 https://www.penguin.co.uk/articles/2015/mark-haddon-on-the-origins-of-the-curious-incident/]]> 2018-10-04 18:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/289332106 Cover of book, and why the author might have chosen this. mckenzie_dugan https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/289332852
The author probably chose this cover, because it makes people think that the book is just about the dog, and Christopher. Yes, the book is about the dog, but it also has many more mysteries to go along with it.]]> 2018-10-04 18:36:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/289332852 Picture that summarizes the theme of the book. mckenzie_dugan https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/289334685 2018-10-04 18:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/289334685 Genre mckenzie_dugan https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/289716600 The genre of the book is mystery, and crime fiction.]]> 2018-10-05 16:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/289716600 2 Possible themes to the story. mckenzie_dugan https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/290087404 The first theme is, "The Disorder of Life." I chose this to be one of the themes, because it describes how Christopher obsesses over schedules, time tables, and much more. He can't connect with people emotionally, so he relies heavily on numbers, logic, and facts.
The second theme I chose is, "Trust is what builds a strong relationship." I chose this as a theme, because it's more or less how Christopher works. Christopher only likes/is comfortable around people he trusts. If he doesn't trust them, or that trust is broken, he is quick to be scared of that person. ]]> 2018-10-07 21:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/290087404 Work Cited mckenzie_dugan https://padlet.com/mckenzie_dugan/tbay6jutmib/wish/290418054 Book- Haddon, Mark.
