Helli's Relate.
One way I can relate to Jack was when he ran away from his mother in Chapter 5 when she was on a bike riding right towards him and he tried to run away from her, I can relate to this because when I was around 4 or 5 I would try to run away from my parents when I was about to get into trouble.
Another way I am able to relate to Jack was when Jack stayed in his room for a while after being chased by his mother into his room. The reason to why I'm able to relate to that is because I go to my room when I get frustrated and mad and it helps me to calm down if I just lie down in peace and quiet.
In Chapter 7 Jack's mother takes him to Dr.Mertz's hospital so he could have some treatment to help his nose bleeding problem but they left the hospital with no treatment done. I can relate to that because one time my parents took me to drumheller and we went to go look at the the amazing hoodoo's they have there and we walked to a store close by for some souvenirs but it wasn't open and my parents really wanted to go there.
I am also able to relate to Jack when Mrs.Volker asked him to help her in Chapter 2 and be there for 6:00 in the morning but he didn't want to go and I have been asked by not my neighbors but my parents have asked me to help them to clean our house and I didn't want to clean the house at all especially in the morning (I don't remember what time they asked me to wake up though).
Jack sort of reminds me of my own brother in a way because Jack is a kid that likes to sit in his room a lot and he's a mystical kind of guy meaning you never know what he's going to do or what he's doing.
