The text that I chose was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon, the reason for this was in the beginning of the semester the class had to choose one book that pertained to their field of study.

I wanted to learn more about autism because I never really understood what it was and how it affected someone’s way of thinking…

Also, because of that, there is not one standard specific model for Radiological Dispersal Devices; each device…

Throughout the novel the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon, I have encountered several different themes that stick out to me. The most important theme that I have witnessed reading about was the theme of perspective. The perspective of Christopher is much different than any other persons. He is very intelligent and social awkward. Due to his impediment of autism, he can not feel or think like people around him. The theme of perspective shines bright within Christopher…

In the short story “The last dog” by Katherine Patterson, a young boy named Brock chooses to leave the dome. While out there, he finds a dog and brings it back to the dome. The lesson that I learned from this story is to follow your own instincts. I liked this book because the main character is interesting, and is an adventurist. The plot is a bit weird, but overall it was a good story. Brock decided to leave the dome to do research. Outside, he finds a real dog next to its dead mother. He…
