Sherlock Holmes and Christopher Boone

                We have just finished watching Sherlock Holmes in Class. After watching this movie, I couldn’t help but notice many similarities between the movie, and the novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Most the similarities I noticed were between the main characters of the two, Christopher Boone, and Sherlock.  The first similarity I noticed was that both the characters are very interested in solving mysteries.  In the novel, Christopher tries to find his mother.  He travels to London in order to do so, facing many challenges along the way. In the movie, Sherlock was trying to solve how Lord Blackwood came back from the grave. He also faced many challenges along the way.

                The second similarity I came across was that both characters like to think pretty logically.  Both are not too fond of illogical things, and tend to stick to their math and science type of things.  Christopher uses logic to find his mother, who lives in London. Sherlock Holmes uses logic to figure out many different things throughout the film, such as Lord Blackwood’s plan.  Although I only exemplified two similarities between the two characters, there are many others as well, concluding that the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the film Sherlock Holmes have many similarities.
