Since my last reflection, I have read The Mystery of the Dog in the Night. I think it’s a fascinating mystery novel, written from a first-person point of view. Christopher, the protagonist, is a student with autism. I recommend this book because it shows how people with autism live and think. The book focuses on Christopher’s quest to find the killer of the dog, and as he investigates, he discovers that the killer could be someone close to him. This book has a sense of empathy, because it makes people think from the perspective of the main character through the introduction of the main character.

I will use “My name is number 4” for the independent essay. The text I choose has some literary analysis. The author mainly uses the description of contemporary society and the portrayal of characters in the Cultural Revolution to reflect the shortcomings of the Cultural Revolution.
