The big question of my book is, what unknown things are within a world that we claim to know "everything" about? I feel that this is the big question of my book because even though Jacob thought he knew that his grandfathers stories were fake, and even though he thought he knew that there weren't any monsters in the world they were both still real. What we know isn't always everything, and sometimes there are unknown variables that tamper with everything that is normal. For example: when Jacob goes to the mansion and sees Emma for the first time he follows her into the time loop, but still has trouble believing that he has actually gone back to one day in time.

The Mariner

In the Ancient Mariner, the Mariner battles with the idea of living for forever. He finds this very inconvenient and would much rather die than watch everyone (his crew) die. He meets a poor man at a wedding, and tells him a long story about how he gets stranded in ice, while on a ship, he then shoots a bird, and then there's a huge drought. All this story does is portray the idea that even though we think that there is an end to life, there are unexplained things that can interfere with death.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

So far, I have read to the middle of the third chapter in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. I love this book; although I had nightmares last night, I still think that this is an amazing book that shows a deep connection between a grandfather and grandson. When Jacob's grandfather was attacked and killed it was extremely touching because he hadn't believed his grandfathers stories since he was a child, and his grandfathers last words to him were all about something Jacob had made himself not believe. I'm curious to see what will happen to Jacob and his father now that they have gone to the island where his grandfather grew up. I can't wait to see if they meet Miss Peregrine, or if she has died. I’m also really confused about who, or what, killed Jacobs grandfather. Was it a man with tentacles coming from his mouth, or was it just stress that caused him to see that?
