A Sunset on the Lake

Authors Note-This is a response to a word association that we did in class. Also if you can't read the text it is below.

A dull orange glow

As the flaming ball of fire

Ceases to reach its arms

To the scorched world

As it sets below the horizon

A lone boat drones on

Spray coming up from behind

As the skier cuts his way

Through the water

Calm as a pane of glass
Sitting atop the water

How peaceful is the world

When the sun turns

To a dull orange glow

Reflection to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

Authors Note- This response is my reactions to the events in the early parts of the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

Christopher the main character is a interesting boy who has autism and through this novel Mark Haddon is able to tell his story. He is a boy of need for a straightforward way of life, humor and non literal things are not recognizable by him. His relations are through numbers which he has an obsession with for they give him honest answers and his mind will not let him lie. For that reason a connection is made between our lives and Christophers because although his version of reality is much more obvious than any of ours we still do some of the same things as him making up our own worlds, reasons and realities.
