On May 23rd of 2016, the class sauntered into their final period of the day, Honors English. After a few minutes of socializing the class took their seats to begin another day of scholarly events. To our dismay, the agenda that led in store for us was quite short, which is usually a rare occurrence. After reading the agenda, many students quickly realized we would be reading multiple excerpts from “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.” This resulted in the departure of several students back to their lockers to grab a copy of their book. As you know our long awaited summer break is right around the corner, although yet it feels so far away. For those who are counting, including myself, students have eleven more school days until

Our class was scheduled to visit it from 1:30-2:00. Although, many didn’t seem very excited to attend, due to the fact that most of the class had already attended. Regardless to say that the class would rather go twice, instead of reading “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.” Mrs. Way informed us of this on Friday, although many seemed to forget over the weekend. After reading the Daily Logs, there were only a few minutes left until it was time to scurry down to the library. Soon enough it was time to depart. Once we reached the studious library, it felt as though we were taken into another world. Hundreds of works of art filled the library with creativity and inspiration. Before we began looking, we were instructed to pick up a small sheet of paper to vote for our favorite work of art. With that, we were released into the maze of vibrant artwork throughout the library. While some perused the jaw-dropping artwork, others socialized and played a few competitive checker games. I chose to watch the ruthless checkers match between Sam and Devin, following several matches between Sam and Derek. Soon enough, though, two o'clock swiftly arrived sending us back to …show more content…
Way immediately began to read a long list of excerpts from “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.” The first excerpt on pages 87-90, described Chris’s experiences at the zoo. After reading a few pages we learned countless aspects that represent Chris’ innocent personality. Most importantly, we experience Chris and his father’s strong feelings toward one another. Chris’ father clearly states his ongoing love and care for his son. Following this, Chris describes what he believes is true love. For example, Chris states, “because loving someone is helping them out when they get in trouble, and looking after them, and telling them the truth, and Father looks after me…” Another crucial piece of this section revolves around the values of truth and lies. Most of the time the simplest ideas are often the truth, although many stray from this to make others believe. I think this is what readers should take away from this excerpt, due to the fact that it describes Chris and his mother’s situation
