 Reading Journal Blog Almedina Demiri BMGV1C   Empathy:  Write about something happening in the book that you can relate to? How did you react? Try to put yourself in the characters shoes and say why you think they fell the way they do.                   Christopher tells that his mother died, but he did not visit her at the hospital. The father tells him that the mother still has his get well   card on the table, which pleases him very much. He had made this  card at school with his art teacher Mrs. Peters. There are nine same cars on the card, that he painted red. What stands as a symbol for a Super Super Good Day. I can understand Christopher very well that he was not in the hospital, because it can be very frightening for a child of this age (he is just 15 years old) to see his mother lying in  hospital. I have already made this experience and think the children should not go to the hospital. That's why I find his decision right and think a drawing or in this case a c...

 Reading Journal Blog Almedina Demiri BMGV1C   Characterization:  Write a short letter to the author/playwright or to one of the characters. Tell them what is on your mind.                        Dear Mr. Haddon     I read your book “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” as part of the English   lessons and I was very skeptical at the beginning. Since it irritated me that the book is   actually divided into two stories, but this story's are coherent. But I think that this kind was   cleverly chosen by you and also very successful. As a result, I liked the book very much.   You've got the thoughts of Christopher the autist in a simple way. Although the book is about an illness, there is nothing sentimental or depressing in this book. On the contrary, the book is filled with knowledge and wisdom. The many explanations and illustrations helped me to understand the book even better. A really excellent book that tells the story from the point of vie...

 Reading Journal Blog Almedina Demiri BMGV1C   Reflection: Write down your first impressions of the book or play. Ask some questions. Write down quotations. Copy whole passages that are difficult or that you really like a lot.   At first glance, it seems to be a thriller book. The title the Curious incident in the Night-time  suggest that something terrible happened to a dog. I immediately started reading the book  and I read the Chapters 1- 34. The level of the language is well readable and the chapter    numbers are not as usual 1,2,3... but 2,3,5,7..., because Christopher loves prime numbers. Also, the story always digresses from the actual main story. At one point, for example, the   protagonist (Christopher) is sitting in the police station for interrogation and tell us something about the existence of the Milky way. His metaphors are very interesting for examples:        „The dog was stone dead or He was the apple of her eye." That Christopher is already        deal...
