Understanding Perspective in The Curious Incident
Scene Summary and Context Guide: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time follows Christopher Boone, a young boy with autism, as he investigates the mysterious death of a neighbor's dog. The narrative is presented from Christopher's point of view, providing insight into his thought processes and perceptions of the world. The story employs a first-person perspective, allowing readers to see events through Christopher's eyes, which reveals his unique way of understanding and interpreting his environment. The narrative style emphasizes clarity and directness, often highlighting Christopher's literal thinking and emotional responses. Short phrases like 'I saw the dog' and 'He was very angry' are used to convey perspective without elaborate description.
