Dog In The Night Themes

In today’s world almost all people, male or female, young or old, black or white can fight for their country. Back in world war II, this was not the case, which was an issue. The Russian Night Witches were teenage girls, enlisted to help with the war in a unique way. They dropped bombs on the Germans during the night, keeping them awake all night, which dulled their senses for the next day’s fights. The nonfiction book, The Night Witches - the amazing story of Russia’s women pilots in World War II by Bruce Myles addressed topics within the story with a more direct approach than LJ Adlington’s fiction novel, Night Witches. In the latter, the main character was a girl who was in the Night Witches, but she was also a literal witch, with magical

What makes fiction novels especially interesting are the larger messages hidden within them. The novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon does just that. The novel centers around a 15 year old genius Christopher Boone who has a mental disability of some sort, struggling with communication because of it. The book is comprised of a murder mystery novel Christopher sought to write after discovering the bloody murder of his neighbor's dog, Wellington. Gradually, the story focuses away from the main conflict and morphs into a complicated story about Christopher’s life. With that, Haddon brings out the complexity and hardships of human life, specifically through the topic of truth and deceit. The truth comes out eventually; fabricating it now will only prolong the unwanted effects later. Also, lies ruin relationships, possibly for good.

The autobiography “Night” by Elie Wiesel explores several ambiguous and dark themes throughout his recount of living through the Holocaust. One of the most complex is the idea that different elements of fear will force groups of people into survival mode, causing them to commit horrendous acts. When anyone is exposed to savagery to the point of survival, they too lose all humanity. Wiesel displays this in both the Germans and Jews, for neither maintain their sense of morality after remaining in the concentration camps. There are several instances in the book where the narrator, Elie Wiesel, observes both sides of the conflict display incredibly inhuman thoughts or actions, and some he experiences for himself.

Everyone in the world has strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has things that give them an advantage, but also put them at a disadvantage. People with autism are often said to be at a disadvantage due to their disorder. The words “my child has autism” often brings sadness or sympathy.

The TV shows that I have watched in the past that were designed for adolescents are One Tree Hill, Awkward, Faking It, and many others. The common themes that I have seen in all of theses shows are sex, teen pregnancy, drugs use, violence, etc. The TV shows show most of these things as being bad such as the drug use and violence, but I believe that these shows also encourage some bad behavior. The show The Secret Life of An American Teenager is practically all about sex and teen pregnancy.

I went to this show expecting greatness; I returned having seen a theatrical phenomenon. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time was a play that, having thrived in the West-End, was brought to Nottingham’s Theatre Royal. An astonishing cast with talented actors such as Joshua Jenkins, Gina Isaac, Stuart Laing and Geraldine Alexander allowed Marianne Elliot (Director) to achieve near-perfection in the art of telling a story through physical theatre. This allowed her to explore poignant and emotive themes relating to anxiety, being an outcast and seeing the world differently; she was able to link this effectively to Christopher’s Asperger’s Syndrome (a condition lying upon the autistic spectrum). Although Autism is only a single word, it

“The main purpose of a text is to give an insight into the complexity of human nature” The film The Dark Horse directed by James Napier Robertson is a film based off the life experiences of speed chess champion Genesis Potini.
