Room Part 5: Living Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
[Part.Paragraph]
Quote 1
My family is Grandma Steppa Bronwyn Uncle Paul Deana and Grandpa, only he shudders at me. Also Ma. (5.1)
Jack is starting to realize that the people Ma is related to are his family too, whether he wants them to be or not. He also understands that just because they're family doesn't mean that they like him… and vice-versa.
Quote 2
At Grandma's house, she shows me France on the globe that's like a statue of the world and always spinning. This whole entire city we're in is just a dot and the Clinic's in the dot too. (5.151)
Grandma is really broadening Jack's horizons now by showing him the globe. It seems that Jack's world grows bigger and bigger every day. This is the first time he has realized (even though he doesn't quite get it yet) that where he is right now barely registers on the globe.
Quote 3
I'm in the house with the hammock. (5.1)
Note that Jack calls Grandma's home "the house" at first. He doesn't call it home because he doesn't yet feel comfortable there.
