Writing styles often times can determine the success of a novel. The technique in which an author writes determines the way characters are portrayed, the immersive nature of the story and the reality of the tale. Syntax, word choice and tone are used to to make up each author’s unique voice. The author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime uses an emotionless tone in order to convey the feelings of an autistic child, however, the author in Life of Pi uses dramatic word choice when telling the story of Pi’s survival.

However, both are portrayed as very clever and resourceful in more taxing situations, and there are moments in which Martel writes in a more

[1] The silent film, With Daniel Boone Thru the Wilderness, was produced in 1926: a time of prosperity, an era without the skepticism of the modern American mind. People were not yet questioning the stories and histories they had been taught as children. The entertaining story told in this Robert North Bradbury film is loosely based on the life of an American hero. However, the presence of several insidiously inaccurate historical representations demonstrates how an entertaining film might not be as innocent as it initially seems. This film fails to question certain key issues concerning the Daniel Boone legend. In fact, it does quite the opposite. The creators of this

People with Asperger’s tend to have difficulty with social interactions, and Christopher clearly displays this inability when trying to figure out the emotions on the paper that Siobhan draws for him (1), also when he states, “ I find people confusing” (17). Another aspect of Asperger’s syndrome is a fascination with letters and numbers, this aspect is clear in the labeling of the chapters with prime numbers, his tactic to calm him self down by doing math in his head and finally by his adamant need to take A-level math and eventually physics. Nevertheless, this uniqueness about Christopher creates an unexpected narrative twist on this murder mystery novel.
