The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Post 3

I think one of Christopher’s biggest downfalls throughout the whole story is his fear of not knowing what is going to happen. Christopher does not like unpredictability.  He panics when things do not go according to plan. I like order and want to know things ahead a time as well but not to the extreme of Christopher.  This flaw will keep him from being really successful in the business world and the real world for that matter. The reason is in life or in the business world there are new challenges, disappointments, and change happening all the time.    These “unknowns” would put Christopher into a panic. Christopher’s comment on the top of page 215 explains it all, “But I think it is worst if you don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing which is going to happen.”  This statement confirms Christopher’s need for planning and knowing what is going to happen.  I predict this trait will make his adult life extremely difficult because life is full of unpredictability and surprises.
