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.
