1 The C Incident of the dog in the Night-time By: Mark Haddon U R I O U S

2 My Name is Christopher John Francis Boone. I know the countries their capital cities every prime number up to All AND 7,057. All the other children at my school are.Except I’m not meant to call them,even though this is what they are. Stupid Stupid

3 I’m meant to say that they have learning difficulties or that they have special needs. But this is stupid because everyone has learning difficulties because learning to speak French or understanding relativity is difficult and also everyone has special needs, like Father, who has to carry a little packet of artificial sweetening tablets around with him to in his coffee to stop him from getting fat, or Mrs. Peters, who wears a beige-colored hearing aid, or Siobhan, who has glasses so thick that they give you a headache if you borrow them, and none of these people are Special Needs, even if they have special needs.

4 These are some of my behavior problems… Not liking being touched Screaming when I’m angry or confused Not liking being in really small places with other people people people Smashing things when I’m angry or confused Groaning Not liking yellow things or brown things Getting cross with some one who has moved the furniture

5 Sometimes these things would make mother and father really angry and they would shout at me or they would shout at each other. Sometimes Father would say… “Christopher, if you do not behave I swear I shall knock the living daylights out of you” Or mother would say… “Jesus, Christopher, I am seriously considering putting you in a home,”… “You are going to drive me into an early grave.”

7 These are reasons I hate the color yellow Custard Bananas Double yellow lines Yellow fever These are the reasons I hate the color brown Dirt Gravy Poo Wood

8 …I looked all round the big room at all the signs to see if this was London. And the signs said Sweet Pastries H eathrow Airport Check-in here Bagel Factory EAT excellence and taste Y D!

9 …And then I will get a first class honors degree and I will become a scientist. And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery of Who Killed Wellington? And I found my mother and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.
