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.
