Quicklet on Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
ABOUT THE BOOK
Christopher Boone is fifteen years old and lives with his father at 36 Randolph Street in Swinton, England. He has a brown and white pet rat named Toby. His mother died of a heart attack two years ago, though he suspects that it was probably an aneurysm or embolism. He hates the colors yellow and brown, but loves red and the color of metal. He does not like most fictional books because they lie, but he does like Sherlock Holmes murder mysteries. He likes stars, but does not like crowds or loud noises. He wants to be an astronaut when he grows up, even though he knows that it is not likely to happen. He loves math and the natural order of the world. He likes dogs.
EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
Wellington is dead. A garden fork has gone through his abdomen and stuck into the ground below. As Christopher kneels over the still warm dog, Mrs. Shears runs out of her house screaming. Christopher does not like to be yelled at, so he curls up in a ball on the grass, closes his eyes, and covers his ears with his hands.
When the police are called to the scene, one of them touches Christopher while questioning him. Christopher does not like to be touched, so he punches the police officer who in turn arrests the boy.
Christopher does not mind the police station cell because it is a perfect cube, but he does not stay there for very long. When Christopher’s father arrives at the station, he is livid and gets the officers to release his son with just a warning. On the way home, Christopher’s father tells him to drop his interest in Wellington even though Christopher considers the dog’s death a murder.
