Literary Circles 3

This week, we read the third section of the Curious Incident of the Dog in the nighttime. Alexa was not in class the day we discussed it so it was just Danny and I. At first, Danny brought up the question "Why is Christopher not sad about his mom's death?" I answered that this was an autistic trait. When I was researching the book online, I read that some traits of autism are not reacting to emotions that most people feel. I then posed the question "Why is Mrs. Alexander insisting that Christopher doesnt tell his father that she was the source behind his knowledge?" This makes me think that Mrs. Alexander is hiding something although I cannot grasp what it is yet.
