"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"

Christopher James is a very smart kid. He likes numbers, which is what he is good at. He is not very good at talking to people, or doing "normal" things alone. He doesn't ever like people touching him, and he isn't able to do some simple tasks. But he is a math genius, and is very observant.

Christopher lives with his dad because his mom is gone. This doesn't effect Christopher very much because he doesn't really understand. His dad doesn't lose his temper easily, so working with Christopher isn't as hard as it may be.

One night Christopher finds Wellington, the neighbors dog, dead, with a pitch fork in it. He holds it, and strokes the dead dog. He likes dogs, and he is sad Wellington died, and he makes it his mission to find out who killed Wellington, and write a book about it. That book is the book called "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time".

A text to world connection was that Christopher had something that seemed like a functional autism, or Asperger syndrome. He doesn't take things in easily, like when he was told to stop investigating who killed wellington, he didn't understand and kept on investigating. Or when he found letters from his mom he didn't understand. I can also tell he has Aspergers because he doesn't let anyone touch him, and doesn't like to be touched, which is a sign that he has aspergers.

In conclusion, Christopher is very smart, but he is limited on his social interactions. He can't function correctly, and easily gets mad. He was sad when he found Wellington dead, and mad because he wanted an explanation for why he was dead. *Spoiler Alert* He also got very mad at his father when he found out it was his dad who killed the dog. He wasn't happy with his findings, and he was very frustrated, so he ran away.
