Blog#3 Room

                             Premise                                                                        You don't know the difference between real and fake. You sleep in a wardrobe, and you don't believe in humans except for you and you mom. You only live in a Room. That's what Room is all about. By Emma Donoghue. Jack is the main character who just turned five. Mom is Jack's ma. Nick is the man who comes to check on them in the middle of the night. The conflict is that their in a ROOM! They have to get out and live a normal life. This is a realistic fiction type of book. So far the setting takes place in a room. My friend recommended this book to me. So I gave it a try. And I'm glad she did cause so far its a great book.   


                      What I just read

      There are five chapters in this book. There's Presents, Unlying, Dying, After,and Living. I'm on Unlying so in Unlying it was always a page turner. Jack realizes that his ma has the same pills as on the TV. Jack's ma has to tell the truth cause now Jack knows that things on TV might by real. Outside the Room. I knew Jack would find out, but I was wondering how he would find out. So pretty close to the end of Unlying mom tells Jack everything. Like how she got to the room, her family. Jack doesn't want to believe her, but its his mom. I was surprised to find out that they live in a shed not a room. I thought it was always part of the house that Old Nick lives in to. It seems like to me that Jack and ma some how eventually will get out of the room. At this time in the book Old Nick has turned off their electricity and water. Some questions I'm thinking about is why Old Nick kidnapped her. Another question 'm thinking about is why all of a sudden ma wants to dump all this information into Jack. I mean she would have to eventually, but why this early. I like how in the these two chapters Jack wants to believe there is no outside. It makes you want to just go to the ending and find out. This character keeps finding out more and more about this other world that he doesn't believe in.
