Understanding Christopher: A Quiz on 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time'
Test your knowledge of Mark Haddon's acclaimed novel, 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time'. This quiz challenges your understanding of the narrative style, character perspectives, and emotional depth of the story.
- Explore the unique point of view of Christopher.
- Analyze how his perspective shapes the story.
- Understand the themes and feelings depicted in the narrative.
What effect does having Christopher as the narrator have on the story instead of it being Christopher's dad or another character?
It makes the story even more of a mystery because you must put bits and pieces of Christopher's narration as well as the actual mystery to understand the plot.
If Christopher's dad was the narrator, it would be easier to understand how Christopher acted.
It lets the reader understand how the dog was killed.
If Mrs Shears was the narrator, we would have known more about Christopher and the dog.
Is the narrator reliable?
Yes, because you get all the information from his point of view.
No, because he views the world differently than it actually is because of his age and Asperger's.
Yes, because we understand how the character is feeling.
No, because the stories he tells aren't true.
How does point of view from this piece of textual evidence show how first person has a large impact on the story: "I put my hands over my ears and closed my eyes and rolled forward till I was hunched up with my forehead pressed onto the grass. The grass was wet and cold. It was nice."
It doesn't because it would be the same story no matter what point of view.
It shows how the character gets emotional easily and therefore changes the story.
It shows how the character reacts when he gets sad and hears loud noises which has a large impact on the story.
It shows how different the story would be if the character didn't have Asperger's, as well as which part of the true story he chose to include in his own.
Which quote shows how the boy is feeling when he finds the dead dog?
"I do not like people shouting at me. It makes me scared that they are going to hit me or touch me..."
"I put the dog down on the lawn and moved back 2 meters."
“Eight years ago, when I first met Siobhan, she showed me this picture and I knew that it meant “sad,” which is what I felt when I found the dead dog.”
I pulled the fork out of the dog and lifted him into my arms and hugged him. He was leaking blood from the fork holes. I like dogs.
