The gears in Christopher Boone’s head turn quite differently than the average. He shows great qualities of being logical, observant and introverted. Christopher’s reality is much different than our own, as he is often misunderstood because of his perspective on life, making his ideas clash and socializing almost impossible. However, his unique way of thinking allows him to open doors unexplored by normal methods of thinking. All the things that make up Christopher's personality can be found in “The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime” by Mark Haddon. Christopher can be portrayed as a logical person throughout the book. He showed this quality when he debated whether to open the letters written by his mother. “ I held the letter up to the light to see if I could detect what was …show more content…
I wondered whether I should open the envelope because it was something I had taken from Father’s room. But I reasoned that it was addressed to me so it belonged to me so it was OK to open it.” (pg. 96). This demonstrates logical reasoning, because even though his Father said not to take things from his room, he reasoned that since it’s addressed to him, it makes him the rightful owner.

For example, on pg 15, when referring to the phrase "he was the apple of her eye", Christopher can only think of an actual apple in someone's eye as
This quote is evident of Christopher’s ability to make risky decisions and follow through with them, especially since this is uncharacteristic of him. In addition, Christopher does not recognize that travelling on a train by himself is unsafe when he has never travelled on a train before. Christopher assumes he knows everything like planning his routes, but going to London from Swindon is not considered to be a train set toy. This emphasizes that Christopher does not have a rational explanation to what he does instead, makes decisions in haste to attempt risks that can be dangerous for him. As can be seen, analysing the novel from Christopher’s point of view shows how he develops to become a dynamic character by conquering his fears and in turn, allows him to be self-motivated.
