In this letter, the unreliable narrator had affected on showing its own unique perspective on the situation that happened between Christopher and father. The narrator is Christopher himself in the letter, showing subjective opinion by focusing on the emotion he felt that explains inaccurately towards certain situation. For instance, in this part, father revealed that he was a murderer of Wellington, and as Christopher does not understand the purpose and reason why father became to commit it, and the harsh condition that the father also suffered under. And Christopher only focuses on the fact that his father killed the dog, which led him to the mind that father, will kill him soon. This affected the whole image and understanding of the letter
The essay goes into great detail of his relationship with his father. He describes his father as cruel (65), bitter (65), and beautiful (64). He does mention the bad in length. On the flip side, he tells us some of the good as well. Throughout his storytelling, the reader gets a glimpse into his life and the way he feels. His feelings evolve during the extent of the essay.
Christopher’s real change happens when Christopher finds a stack of letter’s his ‘supposedly dead’ mother - “Mother died 2 years ago.” - writes to him whilst finding the book he was writing. This happens because his father tells him not to mind other’s business - “Father said, ‘Just try and keep your nose out of other people’s business.’” - and in result of not following his dad’s orders gets his book taken away. During his ‘detective work’ Christopher finds out the real reason as to why Wellington’s owner’s husband left as he was one of Chris’s main suspects. He finds out that his mother was having an affair with him. So when Christopher goes to find the book he finds the stack of letters - “One other possibility was that Father had hidden my book somewhere in the house.” -. All this leads to his change because if it wasn’t for his realization that his mother was alive he would have stayed and nothing would have differed. It is what leads to Christopher wanting to find his mother, and on this journey he experiences new danger and he learns how to cope with the real world. I believe the finding of the letters is very important as it helps the readers to sympathize with Christopher it also makes you sad especially because he is autistic and cannot understand why his father would lie to him.

I thought they were happy to see me, but when I opened the door to our shack, I saw that everything we owned was neatly packed in cardboard boxes. I was shocked! We were moving? Since when? I walked further into our shack and saw Roberto and Papa carrying boxes to the Carcanchita. I then saw Mama holding her pot walking over to the Carcanchita very carefully trying her best to not step on one of my younger sibling’s toys.
His father has always told Christopher that “If you don't tell the truth now, then later on...it hurts even more,” (120) this is what Christopher has lived by his whole life. The first setback in their relationship has to with the death of Wellington. After wellington dies Christopher is very motivated to figure out who has committed this murder “I am going to find out who killed wellington” (20) Christopher’s father states after his father picks him up from jail. Once they are in the car Christopher tells his father about his plan to find out who has killed wellington and his father tells him to “just try to keep your nose out of other people’s business.” (20) Christopher then later figures out that his father is the one accountable for Wellington's death after his father tells Christopher that he “killed wellington” (120). This is shocking to Christopher because he has always thought that his father was a very honest and trustworthy person. Later he realizes that this was not the only thing that his father has lied to him about. For many years Christopher’s father told him that his mother dies in the hospital due to heart problems and Christopher believes his father because his father has not given him any reason to doubt him until Christopher discovers the letters that his mother has been writing to his for the past few years. Once Christopher realizes that his father has lied to him about his mother and Wellington, Christopher feels like he is not safe living with his father or even being near him, he thinks he has no choice but to run away to his mother, who is now living in London which only puts more of a strain on their
Christopher’s mother on the other hand does not take long to sort out her troubled priorities in London and chooses to take Christopher over the father. At the end of the novel the reader feels that Christopher will have the support of his parents for a very long time. The composer Haddon as used a great use of emotional and truthful knowledge among the society through Christopher’s case and this is achieved throughout the novel itself.

This adds to the untrustworthiness of the unreliable narrator as the accuracy of these events, as told by John Dowell, come into question. Was Dowell a fool-saint character, or was he playing the fool to manipulate and contrive the story? His omniscient claims regarding other characters’ emotional states and thought processes during events he was not present for are suspicious in their
Additionally, the interactions from other characters show complications Christopher has relating with others as evident “Then she [Mrs. Alexander] turned and went into the house…I didn’t know her well enough to know whether she was telling the truth…So I walked away.” (pg. 41) As the protagonist is unaware of Mrs. Alexander’s intent of goodwill, Christopher is unable to presume this, thus left. Multiple incidences of the character displaying his incredulity arise within the book, for instance the prompt disbelief of god, a figure head for many symbolizing hope; the complications Christopher has with metaphors, confusion occurs as they have multiple implications; and the belief of caring for those that are gone, as Christopher had no intent

The doctors told my parents I would have physical and mental handicaps; leg braces, back braces, no mobile function, or response capabilities, I proved them wrong.

When I used to be a kid, I learned my lesson about taking anger out on others valued objects. First, my father loved fishing and every time he would fish with me, but one time my father's friend appeared at my house on a hot summer day to go fishing in Antilon Lake. I burst into joy of hearing the word fishing. I picked on my father and asked him several times if I could go and his last word was no. My oldest brother was invited by my dad. My joy went slowly from joy to anger. They left without me, I cried with an anger inside that wanted to explode. My mother tried to calm me down and I did but little did she know I wanted revenge. Then, my mother was dishing, not paying attention to me. My eyes were locked to the drawer where the knives
I have lived in the suburbs of Illinois my entire life. I originally lived in a car dealership town called Tinley Park but when I turned four, my parents decided to move into a larger house in Homer Glen. I haven't had the most interesting home life, but I have been extremely lucky in my opinion. My parents still love each other, they make a pretty good average income, and I live in a nice suburban home. We don’t meet a whole lot of people in different life situations then our own, but occasionally a few people and moments do stand out. When I was younger, around nine or ten, a door salesman came to my neighborhood. My neighbor and I were playing football with his dog in their front yard when the man approached us.

The intradiegetic narrator is defined as a “narrator who exists within the storyworld of a particular text and transmits a story that is framed by the extradiegetic narrative level” and is mainly used to present the view from a character from an outside narrative voice, which gives a sense of trustworthiness as it is not so subjective as an first person narrator. The characteristics of this narrator include distance from the story told and in most of the novel, the narrative voice is intradiegetic through the eyes of the character of Anna who endures a harsh life as twenty year old worker who takes care of her family by herself. In her perspective the reader feels empathy from the start of the novel when her background is known , feeling which
