The Curious Incident:
1) What does this tell us about how Christopher's mind-and our minds-works?
Normally,we just focus in general things, so our mind memorizes only a few things, but Cristopher's mind
consider almost every detail. We could say he isn't as "lazy" as we are in that aspect, in the example he even counted the amount of cows and visible houses!
2)What does most people choose to describe, and why? What do they see?
Just the most important things, otherwise, we would really have to describe a lot of things. Although we see everything, we don't memorize even the half of the details.
3)Are people "lazy", as Christopher thinks? Or is that we select in a different way?
No we are not. It is just a word to understand the type of thought, but Christopher just see thing differently as we do, in a more specific way.
4)Why should we select in a different way to Crhistopher - and reduce what we see?
It is not important to understand every detail of something, we only need a general understanding, or we would take a lot of time to get a simple idea
5)What governs the way we select what we perceive?
In general, we select what we think is vital to understand something.
6)What part does language play in the way we select our perceptions?
In language, we synthesis things, taking from all the information, the most important things.
7)What does this tell us about how Christopher's mind - and our minds - work?
As he tried to understand everything, he gets confused being enale to procces so many details. In another words, he crashes.
