ROOM......4/20/11

So far this book is really good. I still cant believe that they finally got free after all that time and years in that room. Now I just dont know what they are going to do in the real world. They have so many things to worry about now, and I feel like its going to take a toll on Jacks mother. I feel horrible for them, I know that they are just trying to fit in to the world that the mother left behind but there are so many new changes and things that not only does she have to adjust to but Jack has to learn all this new stuff, that he has never seen or heard of before. I feel like his mom is going to end up having a mental breakdown because Jack asks so many questions and she is sick of answering them all the time, but in a way i dont feel bad for her at all because she was the one who lied to him and told him all these things werent true. I think it would have been important to have Jack in the interview with the media, because i feel like even though she is wanting to protect him she is hiding him, when she should show him and see how he has developed. She said she was doing it for his  college fund later in life, well i think to myself what if he never develops? Im interested in knowing where they are going to live, if the mom will get a job, or ever find love again?

Room Continued 4/13/11

The main character Jack is worthy of praise for the simple fact that he is so brave considering the fact that he has lived in a room his entire life. Having limited resouces, and not being able to eat anything you want when you want to, and having only small proportions when you do get to eat I think would be really hard. This book makes me realize how good a lot of people have it, and all the freedom we have. Jack doesnt get to learn the way we all do, and hasnt even had any teaching except for the small things his mother has taught him about the outside world. You can even tell by the way he talks, he doesnt say full sentences that make sense which make it hard to understand him, or what he is talking about. If I was his mother I would get frustrated all the time, because he doesnt understand alot when she is trying to explain something, or when she tells him something is real and he wont believe her I would find it so frustrating. When he finally went through with the escape and did what his mother asked of him to free themseleves I found that very brave, and had to take a lot out of him. He had to be so scared. Never being out on your own without his mother, and having to find someone to help him when he didnt even know there were other people in the world besides the two others he has only ever known was very worthy of praise.

Cont, Room 4/6/11

I am really enjoying this book for my second novel choice. Room is a really great book so far and even not finishing it I would still recommend the book to anyone. So far Jack and his mom have been trapped in this room for a long time. Actually for Jack his whole life, and for his mom shes been in there for seven years. We come to find out that his mother was kidnapped by  "Old Nick" and was raped and thats how exactly Jack was brought into this world. To me when I read that and found out that old Nick was really his dad I was kind of shocked, I think deep down I knew that he had to be his dad if he was born in the room but I cant believe that someone is capable of doing something like that. I was thinking to myself when reading that part if she loves him the same as she would if he was born by a guy she was in love with or married too. I couldnt imagine having a child from someone who raped me. I mean i would still love him or her because they are my child and I would take care of them no matter what, but I think it would be really hard to except the fact that he was born or his father is the guy who raped her and she concieved a child. There are a lot of things in this book that make me super angry and feel really bad for them, not only are they locked in this tiny room with no fresh air ever, but they only get a limited supply of food, they dont get many nice things when they do get Sunday treats and the fact that Jack is not up to par as far as he should be with his learning abilities. I cant wait to finish this book and find out if they ever get to get out the Room.
