Another P.O.V.

Write about which character and scene you want to use for your writing assignment on The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Answer questions like, why did you choose this character and scene? What does your character look like? What kind of personality does he or she have? How does his/her attitude toward the situation differ from Christopher’s? What effect does Christopher’s words and/or actions have on your chosen character?

 I'm not completely sure which specific character and scene I want to use for the writing assignment on The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time yet. I am thinking about using the scene where Christopher's father confiscates Christopher's "book" after a brief scuffle between the two, taking on the perspective of his father. I chose this character and scene because I think it can be a small representation of the troubles in life the father has experienced and his feelings towards them, as he is still hurt by his past, cares for Christopher and fears revealing his secret (his lie) to him. I plan to write the summary primarily focused on the possible emotions and attitude of his father and use that to imply his personality. The father can be described as patient, but with the pressure of recent events and the fear of revealing his lie, his patience and understanding personality is gradually being replaced with anxiety and discomfort. This will be the main focus and idea for the assignment.
