June 15--1/2 Day


In case you left your copy at school, June Novel : the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime

Homework: Please complete 1 or 2 options.

Option 1: Please answer 2 of the 4 questions below. 

Option 2: Please answer all 4 questions below. 


  1. Christopher lists his “behavioral problems” on pp. 46-7. He says looking after him made his parents fight:  Why might some of these things be difficult for his parents?  Do any of his “problems” seem normal (or familiar) to you?
  2. Why does a promise seem so binding to Christopher?  What is the logic behind this?
  3. Mrs. Alexander ends up being quite conversant with Christopher. Describe their relationship (and check out pp. 56-61 as well).  Consider the previous awkwardness of their first encounter; is this dispelled at this point?
  4. How do you feel about Christopher’s decision to talk to Mrs. Alexander about Mr. Shears (pg. 56-57)?  Does this constitute lying, or has Christopher found a legitimate loophole?  What do you think his father will think of this?
