Hw#46 Research and Writing

I read the book The Curious Incident of the FOg in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. The book was about a kid named Christopher with autism and tries to figure out who murdered his neighbor's dog Wellington. On his way trying to find out he learns a lot of things about the dog and his family. There are a lot of mysteries behind everything he does and says. He later finds out that his father actually killed the dog in defense to his neighbor which causes Christopher to uncover the real true behind his mother's "death".

The main point of the story that connects to my topic is that Christopher attends a "special school" and kids with "special needs" because they do not function like "regular kids" i guess which is different than other public or private schools we know. Compared to other schools such as private and public they have do not have the same thing. As Christopher described his school he takes some high level math and learn things out of the ordinary.

On some level the book kind of did not really connect to my topic because it talked more about austism and it did not really give me valid points but on the plus side i was able to see Christopher's point of view on things from being i would not say disable and going to a different school compared to schools i've been too and heard about. It was nice to see the perpective of another child but not of some article.
