A novel can do many things that make us think. In 2003 The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time by Mark Haddon shows us a look on one situation through three very unique people. The story contains many moments that give you a look at the character’s motives. Such moments are when Judy leaves the family because she can't handle Christopher (pg 106) or when Ed told Christopher that he was the one killed wellington (pg 121). A big moment is when Christopher decides to run away (pg 122) also when Christopher sees his mom for the first time in two years (pg 190). Person growth and discovery drive the story and it is shown by Ed Boone, Judy Boone, and Christopher Boone.
Ed Boone is Christopher’s (the main character/protagonist) father. …show more content…
She is one of the most complicated Characters as we don't know as much information on her as we do on Christopher and Ed as all of the information known about her comes from Christopher's flashbacks the letters that she writes and the small amount of time that she is in the book. From what Christopher remembers and what Judy writes in the letter, we know that she loved him but couldn't handle his “needs” the way that Ed did. She said this on (pg. 108) “And I remember looking at the two of you and seeing you together and thinking how you were really different with him. Much calmer. And you didn't shout at one another. And it made me so sad because it was like you didn't really need me at all. And somehow that was worse than you and me arguing all of the time because it was like I was invisible.” That was the motive of why she had left them to go and stay with Roger (Mr.Shears). When we see her during the novel she is angry at many people, including herself which is very confusing for both Christopher and the reader to comprehend. Judy is mad at Ed for telling Christopher that she died, she is mad at Roger for saying that Christopher can’t stay, and she is mad at herself for not being a better mother to Christopher which is why she leaves Roger and move back to Swindon with Christopher. She and Christopher find their own place which was a small room. After the novel she has left Roger and lives with Christopher and is beginning to be more …show more content…
A big moment is when Christopher finds the letters telling him that his mother is alive (pg.112). Christopher feels sick and disgusted that he has been lied too and Ed feels sad and mad that Christopher found out.Or when e meets Judy for the first time in 2 years (pg.190). In this situation Judy is happy that CHristopher is with her but mad at Ed for lying to him, Ed is mad at himself for letting this happen but he is also mad at Judy for not letting him see Christopher also for Christopher runing away in the first place, and Christopher is happy that he found Judy but is scared of Ed. When he finally reconnects with Ed and has a normal conversation with him there bond begins to grow back (pg.218-219). At the end of the novel each Character that was discussed had grown as a person and discovered something new about themselves. Ed learns that holding back all of his emotions isn't good and it creates more problems than it tries to fix (such as hiding that Judy left from Christopher). Judy learned that even if you try to run away from your problems (taking care of christopher) they will always come back until she learns to deal with them. Christopher learned that he had to deal with things in life that he can't simply just block out (Ed) and that you should learn to gain someone's trust back if they deserve it. Do you think that
