The gulf which separates Christopher from his parents and the rest of us makes him unconditionally unique as a result of his disability, resulting in him to be considered as an ‘unsolved mystery’. Christopher is a fifteen-year-old boy with Aspergers Syndrome. When he finds his neighbour’s dog lying dead on the lawn, he decides to track down the killer and write a murder mystery about it . However he non-intentionally ends up uncovering other mysteries, turning his perfectly scheduled life upside down. The gulf between Christopher and his father (Ed Boone) from the beginning to the end of the book remains that of disordered and confusing.
Boor shows this when he writes, “So you figured it would be better if I just hated myself” (265). The only reason his parents told him the truth is Paul confronted them. While they admitted that he had a right to know, they justified their reason for not telling him earlier. Paul may have understood that his parents’ love led to their over protection but he probably distrusted his parents and their ability to tell him the whole truth. Paul’s parents’ choices changed the direction of his life.

Dogs on Death Row Dogs on Death Row The Lyons City Council recently implemented considerable changes to the policies and procedures regarding housing lost and stray animals at the city managed animal shelter. The need for these revisions became evident after uproar from members of the local animal protection society prompted the city council members to review the daily operations of the shelter. The disturbance began when members of the Sweet Onion Animal Protection Society (SOAPS) discovered that seventy-seven dogs housed at the City of Lyons animal shelter died by lethal injection on January 20, 2011. The outcry against the killing of these dogs continued to intensify as an investigation revealed that several of these healthy animals died after living in the shelter for less than three days.

Therefore, according to the latest studies of some organizations such as children protection, spanking can create physiological problems such as depression in a child. It makes parents believe that spanking children can harm their children. Spanking children is not a good way to discipline them because children can get some mental problems. For example, children who are usually spanked by their parents believe that they hate them, so children get depression because of spanking. Children can also get mental problems because of spanking such as killing themselves.

Child loses jacket, he is very upset and worried that if he doesn’t find it, his mum will be angry with him. Using a soothing tone I try to reassure him about it, it would most likely turn up during the day, if it was not found I would go out with him and speak to his mum. Reassuringly put hand on his shoulder, down to his level making eye contact smile to make him understand that he would not be in trouble. When reading with my set of children, child X (possible dyslexic) seemed upset, I asked what was wrong he told me that he wanted to move up a level from blue, as he had been stuck on it since year 3. I tried to reassure him that it was ok, it just takes some people longer to move up but he was getting there he seemed ok with this.
Dear editor, The piece called ‘End the menace of attack dogs’ published on the 19/8/11 in The Age, has stunned me. I know dogs well; my family has had many in our past.

Think what it was like for my little 7 year old brother playing in the front yard to have a viscous animal coming at him snarling and barking and me as I hear him scream, I ran out to threaten the dog to go away.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon is a story about a young boy, Christopher Boone, seeking to uncover the mystery of his neighbor’s murdered dog. Along the way, he faces a number of his fears and discovers the truth about his allegedly deceased mother.
