The significance of the title "ROOM" is a perfect title for this book because the two main characters, Jack and his mother are trapped in this room, where they cant leave or do anything social. They have some of the normal things other people who have freedom do, such as; television, stove, fridge, bed, closet, and much more. The mother is pretty smart, seeing as she wasnt born inside the room, and knows alot about the outside world, but her son Jack who is the narrator doesnt know alot of what the outside world is really like, he learns from his mom and watching the tv to know about things happening on the outside, or what stuff is really like. I feel really bad for Jack because he is so young and has never been outside of the room, he has been since there since birth and doesnt know anything different. Makes me think what will happen if they ever get out, he would have to be in shock to learn what the real world is like. His speech isnt proper either since he has never been taught, or gotten the chance to learn in a school. His mom is all he has, and he relys on her for everything.
Jack lives in a room.
where he plays and sits and waits for doom.
He wishes he had a friend
that could be there till the end.
His mom is the only one
he has to depend on
Jack is a little boy
who looks forward to playing with his toy.
Jack lives in a room.
where he sits and waits for doom.
Wow, the repetition of the doom phrase is powerful. The thing is, he isn't aware that he's waiting for his doom. Can you imagine how his mother must worry? I really want to talk about her character.
