The
main characters in the book Room are Ma and Jack. In the beginning of
the book Ma seems fine at how her life is and so does Jack. They go on a normal
day schedule just like anyone else. As the book goes on you can tell Ma gets
frustrated about how her life is going. She stays in bed longer and doesn’t do
things with Jack. One day when Jack asks Ma what is wrong she says she wants to
escape room. She goes on and tells Jack how she wants to do this. Jack was not
expecting to hear a whole story about how he is supposed to do this by himself.
At first he was all in for escape but after hearing the plan he did not want to
do it anymore. But Ma says he needs to do this because it is not healthy for
Jack to be in here his whole life. This shows the change in Jack’s and Ma’s
personality because at the beginning they were laid back and just went with the
flow but now they are determined to get out there. Ma is determined to get out
and not deal with the guy who raped her and Jack is determined to get out there
for Ma. When they do escape room they are put in a clinic to help them and talk
to therapist. Jack is scared to go outside and still wants sleep and shower
with Ma. But he doesn’t know that is normal for six years to do that. But that
is what he is use to that. Some other things that are different for him to deal
with are just simply walking around somewhere else other then room. He is so
use to having everything in the same place since he was born to when he was
six. So with him being in the clinic he runs into everything like tables and
chairs. He also doesn’t know how to do stairs, going up or even going down. When
he first gets there he doesn’t want to talk to anyone but Ma but later in the
book he learns that it is okay to sleep by yourself and it is okay to talk to
other people then Ma. He also learns to go down the stairs and also finds out
it is not okay to thing something from the story and take it without paying for
it. I think the theme of the book is the endless love between mother and son no
matter how hard the circumstances are. Even when the Ma and Jack as characters
change in the book the love between them does not change. Ma risked her and her
son’s life to escape and when they get out she won’t let anyone interview, take
pictures or do anything to her son. She goes out of her way to make sure
everything is save for Jack. "Summary of Room"
