Room is a story of how Jack has spent his entire life locked in a 11 by 11 room, with his Ma, who was kidnapped and raped by a sociopath who Jacks calls Old Nick, and has been kept in the room for the last seven years. Jack's world revolved around that room and he refers to all the furniture as if they are real, living, breathing persons like “Wardrobe”, “Rug”, and “Plant”. Even though there were some disturbing events that happened in the book, but the way Jack looked at the Room and the outside was refreshing and innocent making those events not so disturbing. This book was based off the disturbing event of the young woman, Elisabeth Fritzl, who was imprisoned for 24 years by her serial-rapist father.…
Steinbeck describes Ma as a strong woman, physically “heavy, thick with childbearing and work” (Chap.8). From the moment the author introduces her to the reader, she displays two qualities that remain throughout the book: generosity and self-control. Her first word aims to welcome stranger at the family table (“Let’em come”). Her face is “controlled” and even as she sees her son back her first reaction is rather calm: she worries about him breaking out of jail and his possible madness. She will consistently adopt a similar attitude during the family’s journey. Her main concern lies in the unity of the group. For instance; she speaks up against her husband when he suggested leaving Tom behind with the Wilsons and their broken car. From that point her authority has continuously grown over the family. Despite her first son’s departure and the grandparents’ deaths, Ma finds the strength to focus on the primary goal of getting to California.…

I can assure you neither of us (Adam and Jeremy) condone or participate in the use of hateful and discriminatory language. While the hallway is a common area, the whiteboard I chose to place on the exterior of our door is private property, the desecration of that property infringes on my rights as a resident of Hutch. I commend the Hutch hall team for using their discretion in order to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all residents, but Adam and I are not guilty of harming that environment, that guilt should be placed on the shoulders of the nameless vandal. We are committed to using the whiteboard for respectful communication only, and will more closely monitor the content which it displays. Unfortunately, Adam and I are busy…
