The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

For a literature circle presentation, Professor McKnight assigned a group of us The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, written by Mark Haddon.  One might describe this text as a murder mystery surrounding the death of a black standard poodle.  More importantly, the mystery is told from the perspective of 15 year old Christopher Boone.  Although never labeled explicitly as such, it is very likely that Christopher is a person with autism.  The way he narrates provides much insight into the way people with autism construct the world.  As a literature circle activity, we had to depict a scene in Glogster.  The collage below, primarily a product of Chris Devlin's creativity, illustrates the beach scene.
