The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time pgs185-190

This part of the book was really weird and I thought that it could've have changed maybe just a little, but it doesn't matter cause I like the way it is. In this part of the book Christopher meets people like the guy who was offering him the maps and even though he was rude, Christopher was nice enough of him. I guess people in this world are like this and maybe we should always show them that we are the bigger person instead of sinking down to their level.

I think The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time, by Mark Haddon is interesting because when the guy was talking to Christopher hwas being so rude and it angered me to just see a little boy face the cold of the world without him knowing what it was. I hate it when people are mean and rude, specially when they have no reason to act like that.

A passage from pages 185 that seems important is: "Then the train wobbled a lot and I had to hang on to rail and we went into the tunnel and it was noisy and I closed my eyes and I could feel the blood pumping in the sides of my neck." I think this is funny because when I first came here and went on my first train ride, I thought it was fun. I enjoyed the ride and when I got home I was like "I love riding the train," everyone has a different way of experiencing new things.

This section of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time reminds me of something in the news. What happened was that the trains in New York and going to get more expensive and there are gonna be less trains available wich angers me. I think that with this new recession things are going down hill and it's not fair because people need to get to places and then we are all gonna go broke.

What's probably going to happen next is Christopher will get off the train when he reaches his stop.

I am looking forward to reading the rest of this book because I want to know what happens after Christopher gets off the train. =)
