Setting

      Room is a novel about Jack and his Ma living together in Room. It starts off with Jack celebrating his 5th birthday, and receiving his present. It's a drawing of Jack sleeping, and his Ma made it when he was sleeping so it would be a surprise. They hang it inside the wardrobe so Old Nick won't see it. In Jack's perspective, Old Nick comes in Room during the night when he's sleeping, and also bring them their Sunday treat- any item they have run out of that they want/need.

  Now that Jack is five, he has to measure his height. They have drawn a scale on the wall to measure Jack's height every year. "Pen tickles my head. When I step away there's a black 5 a little bit over the 4." Their lives are very simple, but Jack doesn't know any different. Jack has lived in Room for his whole life. He wakes up every morning to do the same repetitive, uneventful tasks of the day. Such as count out his pieces of cereal, do the laundry, eat a snack, do "phys ed', watch tv, go to bed. He doesn't know any different.
