    FORM I think prime


    numbers are like life.
    They are very logical
    but you could never
    work out the rules,
    even if you spent all
    your time thinking
    about them.

    Haddon creates a
    unique formulaic
    device in chaptering
    the book according to
    prime numbers.
    Christopher, who has
    a condition similar to
    Aspergers Syndrome
    comments in a pithy
    simile that he
    believes prime
    numbers are like life.
    His succinct analogy
    conveys his attitude
    to lifes mysteries
    and the first person
    commentary
    provides a
    personalised
    viewpoint on his
    understanding of a
    confusing and
    chaotic world.

    Haddon crafts a story


    that celebrates the
    unique qualities of
    individuals who dont
    conform to regular social
    norms and compels
    readers into acquiring a
    greater sense of empathy
    for those society deems
    to be different.
    Christopher Boones
    unique perspective on
    life is conveyed through
    the use of first person
    narration in chapters of
    text that are numbered
    according to the prime
    numeral system. The
    personalised
    commentary of Chris in
    the succinct analogy I
    think prime numbers are
    life . suggests his
    mathematical approach
    to deciphering the
    mysteries of life and
    suggests Chris has
    adopted a unique
    perspective defined by
    the need for order and
    logic.

    Literatures most
    compelling
    protagonists are
    often those whose
    possess
    perspectives on
    life that radically
    differ from our
    own. Traditionally,
    prose novels are
    structured
    according to
    chronological
    numerals in
    ascending order
    but Haddon
    subverts our
    expectations to
    suit the very
    particular world
    view of autistic
    individual
    Christopher
    Boone. Haddon
    allows us to view
    the world through
    the eyes of a
    protagonist whose
    specific condition
    both limits and
    broadens their
    ability to convey
    experiential
    information, thus
    making the

    All demonstrate
    Christopher's unique
    perspective on life
    and his very
    different viewpoint
    to others.
