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

Throughout the book we discover Christopher is more comfortable being alone than being with others. This becomes a reoccuring theme in many chapters. For example, many times at all hours of the night, his parents would find him wondering in the streets. Christopher did this because he likes being alone and in silence. Other times, he would be laying in the garden looking up at the stars. Another example, is when Christopher has a reoccuring dream in chapter 229. He dreams people get a virus and it kills off most of the world except for people like him. This is so he can be alone, because no one will talk, touch, or ask him a question.
