The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime:
Language Techniques
Setting: Where does the action take place? Why? Does the setting ahve symbolic Meaning?
Narrative: Person: What is ther effect on the narrative and the readers response to it?
Tone: Not just of the character comments but also the narration
Conflict: The action, man vs man, man vs nature, and/or man vs himself
Humor
Dialogue: not just what is said but how is important to idea representation
The chapters are not numbered in the conventional way but are given prime numbers commencing with 2 and finishing with 233. This reflects the narrators interest in mathematics.
The novel opens with the discovery by Christopher of the dog, wellington, lying dead on the lawn. It is seven minutes past midnight. The narrator describes unemotionally how the dog has been impaled on a garden fork. Wellington, a large black poodle, had belonged to Mrs Shears, a friend from a nearby house.
Quotes are good when it comes to studying, you will have to give evidence in the exam and quotes are perfect.
I hope this helps a little bit
