In the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, the author Mark Haddon uses the main character Christopher as symbol of innocence. Christopher is a young special-needs boy, who has certain rules that define how he lives his life. For instance, if he sees a certain number of red cars, or a certain number of yellow cars he believes it will determine how his day will turn out. He refuses to eat anything yellow, and he doesn't like the color brown. Many of us wish we could be like Christopher, having black and white lives, never telling lies. Christopher is lucky that he has lived for so long, holding onto his innocence.
