In the novel “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” by Jonathan Safran Foer, Oskar is trying to find out which lock fits the key that he found in his father’s closet. Something similar happens in “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time” by Mark Haddon. The main character in the curious incident was trying to find out who killed the neighbors dog. These two stories are similar because both main characters in the books are both searching for one thing, an answer. The main character in the curious incident found out the evidence he was searching for and the answer he wanted as well. Since ive only started the book I have no idea if Oskar finds the answer he is looking for.
