The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time Prompt Blog Post
The prompt I chose for this blog post is number four: How would you describe the author's style of writing? What's your opinion of the style? i chose this prompt because i felt that it is the perfect topic for this book because the style of writing is very unique and interesting. by coincidence the beginning of this story, the narrator actually explains the style of writing in which was chosen. “chapters in books are usually given the cardinal numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and so on, but i have decided to give my chapters prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and so on because i like prime numbers” (11).
Since the narrator fancies prime numbers, he decided to number his chapters by prime numbers instead of doing the regular way of numbering. This is only one way his style of writing gives off his uncommon or rare style of writing.
other than his prime numbering, he actually includes diagrams, pictures, reviews from doctors, etc. i think that this is very uncomparable to other chapter books like this one because usually there are no visuals in the books. i think that the reasoning and logic behind this is because instead of just writing descriptions on what was being talked about he just added diagrams so the reader could understand exactly what is being talked about.
He also seems to have a hard time knowing exactly how to stay on track. he seems to switch subjects quickly and it is very hard to take this book seriously when goes from one subject to a whole different one. I do, however, understand why the narrator decided to write the book this way: he wrote like this because it made it more interesting to write, but this doesn’t mean that it would be interesting to the reader.
All-in-all, this style of writing could be aggrivating to the reader in many ways. Sometimes it could be confusing or it could be unentertaining. I wouldn’t want to read any other books if it had the same writing style as this one.

Thecurious incident of the dog in the night time is summed up in one word, odd. Christopher is autistic, and the way he thinks is completely unordinary. i like his character's because he sees the world differently than everyone else, and he can make things seem way more logical than most people would ever think. one is example is this a column called ask Marilyn featured a woman who answered math questions. one of the math questions was “you are on a game show the idea is to win a car. the host shows you three doors. he says that there is a car behind on door and a goat behind the other two. you pick a door the host opens one of the doors not picked to show a goat. He gives you the option to change you mind and pick the unopened door. what should you do?” so most people would say that there’s a 50-50 chance that the goat will be behind the door, but that isn't correct it is actually 2 in 3 chances that there will be a car behind the door. i still do not understand this, but the way he explains it makes sense. he makes it sound so simple, but its really not that simple. this is why i love the way he thinks. the lady who answered the question said the same thing as Christopher and they called her stupid. she’s in the Guinness book of world records for he highest IQ.

Even though Christopher is brilliant in so many ways some of the things that he does in the story is annoying. like he does not like the colors yellow and brown. he has reasons for not liking these colors, but they don't seem like good enough reasons. his list for not liking yellow is 1.custard (no actual reason, but i guess it’s because he doesn't like it)
2. bananas (they also turn brown double negative)
3. double yellow lines (also no reasoning)
4. yellow fever (it’s a disease)
5. yellow flowers (allergies)
6. sweet corn (cant digest)
I understand why he would like these things, but it not logical to just dismiss the color yellow all together.
