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.
