Guided Response :Week 10

 The novel “Room,” is based on the point of view of the narrator, a 5-year-old boy named Jack who lives in his physical world. He lives with his mother an 11-by-11-foot room. He will be there his entire life with his mother against her will.  To me it seems like they are living the prison life. Jack does not seem trapped about being in the same room with his mother all day. Around the room jack mother assigned him to read, exercise and sing so he can have something to do around the room. He also sleeps, eats, baths, learn and play. He gave his mother a nickname which he called her Ma.  His mother gives him a present and it was wrapped with rule paper in a purple ribbon around it. Jack mother was an artist when he was sleep she put the light on him and drew him. She surprises him when he wakes up, by showing him all the pictures she has drawn and he reacts as if he likes them he wanted to hang them up but, he couldn’t.  I learn how he lives in the room and how he spends his days. At night Jack sleeps and Wardrobe to hide from Old Nick the man who brings him and his mother food in has captive his ma for several years. I really think that she is getting tired of living that life style. Jack has never been anywhere in the world except in the room. He is getting older I think he should be able to see what life is like in the real world.  Although, I Don’t think this book is for sensitive readers. I recommend this book to young adults because this is a great book in I think they will like it.

  1. Oh, I totally agree with your observation about this novel not being for sensitive people! Even though the author doesn't really describe in detail some of the more horrific events, the overall mood of the book is intense, isn't it?
