And that gulf is ultimately the source of this novel’s haunting impact. Christopher Boone is an unsolved mystery” [The New York Times Book Review, 6/15/03, p. 5)]. Discuss. _________________________________________________________ Mark Haddon’s novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, is a remarkable novel exploring the world of Christopher, a fifteen-year-old boy with Aspergers Syndrome.
Conan Doyle is therefore very successful in making the reader want to read on to find out what really happened on the moor on the night of Sir Charles Baskerville’s death and whether the same big black beast really killed Sir Charles or whether it’s just a decoy for Holmes and Watson set. ‘The footprints of a gigantic hound!’ These are the last words of the chapter.

Housework was a very important task and women were supposed to take great joy in it. Upper and middle class girls were taught from a young age the skills they would need in order to keep a happy, healthy, peaceful home. While the outside world and working force were definitively male, the home was considered to be a feminine place. The outside world was evil and full of sin and wrongdoing, but the home was a moral haven (MacKethan). Husbands went to work in the corrupt world of industry, so they were meant to come home, decompress, and once again become attuned with their compassionate side.
Housekeeping is not just cleanliness. It includes keeping work areas neat and orderly; maintaining floors free of slip and trip hazards. It also requires paying attention to important details such as the adequacy of storage facilities and maintenance. Good housekeeping is also a basic part of accident and fire prevention. Assisting in implementing a constant daily routine for children is important.
