Fifteen-year-old Willo was born after the onset of a new ice age that has left Europe in winter’s grip in S. D. Crockett’s atmospheric first novel, “After the Snow,” a post-apocalyptic thriller for the post-global-warming era. A strong survivor, he lives with his family of “stragglers” in the hills outside the city. He wears a coat of hand-stitched skins and a dog skull as a fierce kind of hat, and when his family is taken away by the government, he goes out in search of them, following the voice of a dog inside his head.

Andruscavage Nathan English 9, White Hour 2 October11, 2017 Father’s Impact on Christopher In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time Father is the most influential person in Christopher's life because he is caring but also emotional which is a good and a bad influence on Christopher because Christopher can't handle emotions.

One scenario where Father made a bad parenting choice is when Christopher keeps writing a book that his dad told him not to write and his dad finds his book.

Christopher is an unreliable character since he cannot emphasize with others. He is unable to fully understand how others are feeling and he describes others feelings inaccurately to the reader.

One book I read for my summer reading was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon. This book opens up in the first person point of view by an autistic kid named Christopher Boone. Christopher walks through his neighborhood and he sees his neighbor’s dog is dead.
