1st Post in response to question 14a

            In Room, the theme is undying love that the mother and son share even when the times get tough. Throughout the text you see that their bound as mother and son gets stronger and stronger. On page 236, it states, " 'You must feel an almost pathological need -- understandably -- to stand guard between your son and the world. ' "    " 'Yeah, it's called being a mother.' Ma nearly snarls it." The quote I chose represents the theme perfectly because it shows how Ma really cares about Jack. It explains the love that she has for him. 

The article that I chose summarizes the novel and adds some nice feedback to certain parts of the book.
