that Mark Haddon’s portrayal of an emotionally disassociated mind is a superb achievement. He also states that Mark Haddon is a wise and bleakly funny writer

In analyzing the novel, some theories are applied. The theories are theory of character, theory of characterization, theory of critical approach, theory of
conflict, the theory of conflict resolution and the theory of autism. To analyze the first problem in this study, theory of character is applied. The

The theory of characterization is used to analyze the characteristics of Christopher. The characteristics of Christopher can be identified from his personal
description, he as seen by other characters, his speech, his reaction, his thought, and his manner.
Theory of conflict is applied to get a better understanding about conflicts that happen in ones life. In understanding what kinds of conflict that Christopher faces
during his life as an autistic boy. In order to know how Christopher solves the conflicts, I apply the theory of
conflict resolution. After I find out the interpersonal conflicts that Christopher faces, I will analyze how he solves the conflict based on the theory of conflict
resolution. We will see how he solves the conflicts clearly in the analysis. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
