3.35MX 3.35M
I'm halfway through reading Room by Emma Donoghue. Although for the protagonists mother , Ma, Room is a prison, for Jack, Room is not just a simple noun, but his whole world. Jack was born in a 3.35mx3.35m room and has survived 5 years of his life in it. Everyday, Jack plays with Ma, observes Plant an its leaves, counts the cereals at Table, and goes to sleep at nine o' clock in Wardrobe, because nine o'clock is when Old Nick enters. Old Nick is the man who kidnapped Jack's mom and imprisoned her at a young age in the cellar.
In this blogpost, I created a map of Room, with my skills as an architect, with the use of SmartDraw, in order to approximately illustrate the living conditions of Jack and Ma.
This novel made reflect about a current issue I've been having. I have a small room! I have never been happy with it! However, through Jack's eyes and narration, Emma Donoghue illustrated me how Jack values each inch of Room and can find joy even in it, as for him, Room is the world, "Room's not stinky." I'm nearly growling. "It's only stinky sometimes when you do a fart." My room is a little smaller than Room, but after this novel, I began nurturing a greater value toward what I already have.
SPOILER ALERT
Now I will discuss the most significant scene in Room, through a Vocaroo of my creation:
