Through a close study of the narrative structure, relationships and detective fiction the reader will gain a better understanding of the distinctive elements of this novel. In the book “Curious” Mark Haddon has used an interesting narrative structure to convey the effects of Christopher Boone as the distinctive narrator. A distinctive feature we see in “Curious” is the use of Narrative Digressions. Haddon has structured this novel so that about every second chapter we see a Narrative digression which throws the story into pause and in these narrative digressions he goes into unneeded subjects such as Christopher listing all of his behavioural problems Christopher says “I used to think mother and father would get divorced” this digression had followed Ed Boone stating that he wanted to leave Swindon and live somewhere else. Christopher stating all these behavioural problems shows us his thought pattern.
Throughout the novel, we connect with the main character Christopher. We are able to do this by the way Haddon uses specific dialogue, sympathy for Christopher, Graphics/Illustrations and also the use of repetition. In the curious incident of the dog in the night-time, Haddon through the character of Christopher, invites the reader to feel empathy and to gain an understanding. Almost immediately, you are able to empathise for Christopher due to his rough upbringing without a mother. In addition, the fact that he has a severe disorder promotes us to feel sorry and try to understand Christopher.

Barrier Two: Emotionally Resisting Messages. Often we react quickly to emotionally charged words or subjects.
Diction After deciding the structure and the other related norms of writing the sentence, the next step should be the diction. Diction is in fact the writing style of the writer, which sometimes also depicts the mood of the writer. The writer can use the narrative tone, the descriptive tone, and any other style. But some of the major things that should be considered in writing the effective writing include clear thoughts and concrete abstract concepts. Mixing and intermingling, the text can make the reader confused and overall the image of the writing is conveyed as
In what ways has the pairing of two texts added to your understanding of the ideas central to both texts? The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon and The Outsider by Albert Camus both have different ways of presenting the central ideas to the reader. The main theme in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is to explore different ways of thinking and the main theme in The Outsider is that being different is all right, and if you do not project obvious emotions, then that does not make you a bad person. Both Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and Meursault in The Outsider, have different views on how they see the universe, have extremely different life ambitions if any, and both react to the physical world in different ways. Christopher’s views on the universe in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time are ordered and rational, whereas Meursault’s views are un-ordered and irrational.

During all the excitement that Christopher runs into, he doesn’t forget his mother address; his memory can visualize the letter and the address on it. Haddon is trying to tell the audience how even autistic people can have rare talents not given to most people. A further understanding is made that autism is not a setback on ones abilities to learn and reach success. The Curious Incedent of the Dog in the Night-time is a great book to read. It gives an understanding of autism that most do not recognize.
Those with disabilities have identified a variety of obstacles that limit their capacities to prevent and stop abuse. These limitations exist at the personal level and within victim and disability service systems. Those with disabilities have described common and unique personal barriers to managing abuse. While most individuals are concerned that they won’t be believed if they report abuse, men with disabilities and people with cognitive disabilities express particular concern. Likewise, while abuse disclosure is difficult for everyone, women report greater difficulty in naming the abuse, whereas men communicate that although they recognize abuse when it happens, they have a tendency to stay silent because it can feel emasculating to disclose (Powers et al.
