The Curious Incident of the Dog ... 4

Dear 3 ege class students!

You've been doing so well that we should switch to blogging more often in the future! By the way, who is Gapi?
Peter's remark that Cristopher's dad should find himself a new wife, respectively a new mum for the boy, is well down-to-earth.

Now bite into the TASK no. 4

We can presume that Ch. misses his mother a lot although he doesn't complain and also tries not to show his sorrow.

-Where is she - according to the first hundred pages?
-What have we learned so far about her character, her looks, her actions?
-Can we state that she was a good parent to Ch.?
Justify whatever you say.



I am looking forward to your original comments. Aren't you curious to learn more about the story? In any case, do read on to the page 150. The deadline:5/2/2007

C. mum is dead. She died from a heart atack. She was good mother but not that good wife, becouse she had an afair whit Mr Shears.
I dont know how was she looks like ( "i didnt she her":) ).

Christopher loved his mother. He said that she was very nice and he loved very much. But I think that she was too little with him, probably for this reason because she didn`t love his father anymore. Also it is true that people-parents with that children like is Christopher needs more patience and matual understanding and assistance.
So in some cases his mother was a good mother.

According to the first 100 pages, i think she is dead, because she had a heart attack. Christopher's mother loved Christopher, so that means the she was a good mother, but this doesn't mean that she was a good wife too. She wasn't, because she was having an afair with Mr.Shears. And Mrs. Profesor an answer to your question "by the way, who is Gapi"
It's me, Gašper Šest:)

I think that Christopher mother likes him, becouse every mother likes her own child. But I do not agree with words of Mrs. Alexander, she said that C. mother had a relationship with Shears. I think that this affair must be just conversation between C. mother and father.

Christopher’s mother died 2 years ago. Christopher is said that she was very nice. The book shows her as a careing mother but she was a bad wife because she cheated her husband. She could have been thinking about her son. I think that she loved Christopher so much.

Chrisophers mom according to the book died for a heart attack two years ago.I think she was a good mother she loved Christoher and he loved her.Christopher is writeing abaut her all good things perhaps she was a good person or he just dont want to tallk bed about people who died.Although she was a good mother she was not a good wife because of affair with her neighbour.Meybi was an affair youst to relax, to get free of all thing that she was haveing at home sick child perhaps she wasnt heppy ? we dont know yet.

C. mother died because heart attack. By my opinion, Christopher's mom wasn't so nice as C. thought,becaue he had affair with her neighbour. But C. loved her and his mother love him too ,i thing.

Christopher's mother is dead. But in the past he loved his mother. This shows that Chrisopher is remembering a scene from the past like it would happening today.
She was a good mother, but not a good wife. She cheated his housband with Mr. Shears. But it is not necessery that this is only her fault. Maybe they had a lot of arguments, he was far, far from home. But we doesn't know that.

according the first 100 pages she is dead, but that isn’t true!!! I don’t know how she looks like, because he didn’t tell that. I think that the feeling that we get at first 100 pages in that she is a good mother and that she takes care of him…But if you have such good opinion about her you will be dissapointed, but I won’t tell you why you will just have to read it

Peter said...

He thinks that his mother is dead, but she is not in heaven because he doesn`t understand where heaven are. I think that in the book is not write enought abought her but Chr. like her, she was kind and she loved him. Yes she WAS but, i dont understand why she left him. If was a reason Mr Shears she is not a good parent.

Well when i read that 100 pages of book i see,...that Christopher's mother was already dead for 2 years beacuse of heart attack. C. love her very much and she didn't love him like he did her. The reason was the affair between C. mother and MS. Shears. she didn't thought on her austistic child. But she was not so bad mother of that. She didn't pay more attantion to C.. I think beacuse she did't love his father any more(that's why she was too little time with her child).Some parent's are different,...some same,...

I read a book today so I am a little bit late with my answers. I find out that C. mother died two years ago from heart attack. She loved Christopher very much and he loved her too. Christopher described her as a great mother.
