Examples: A great irony is that Jack wanted to go back to Room which was the very prison that had kept him from experiencing all the beauties of life. This had kept him from making friends, attending schools, and having a life.

It represents a connection to Ma.
Style: Childlike point of view. Jack's style helps us understand how he handled things as an abducted child who then is released into the world. We get to see how he processed the transition from isolation to freedom.]]> 2016-10-14 03:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/davismimi77/1txgohuics8f/wish/130638459 Representation gongshijing475 https://padlet.com/davismimi77/1txgohuics8f/wish/130766485 Setting: Room ( for Ma, Room was like a prison for seven years; meanwhile, Room was the whole world to Jack before he escaped)
