The main character Jack I think does not understand what is really going on in the world. But there is nothing wrong with that, I would give Jack praise. As the book goes on he starts understanding what is really going on, or tries to understand to his best ability, and knows that they have to break free from that situation. Jack is a very brave little boy who loves his mom very much. He tries very hard to help his mom, out of fear that she might get hurt, but at the same time he is afraid. He does not know what to expect from the real world, and even though he wants his mom to come with him he knows that she cannot. He wonders what the real world is like, and if his mom is lying about it. He is not sure what to do, and wishes he could wait to break free, but knows that they cannot. If they wait too long who knows what could happen. He just turned five why can’t they just wait till he his six and stronger. He wonders this, but also knows the answer to the question, but does not fully understand at the same time. He decides to be brave for his momma, because he will be the hero that saves his mom from the big mean man. This is why he deserves praise, since this has to be hard for him to do at such a young age.
