Literary Response #3

NUMBER THREE:


The Room reminds me a lot of the story of Jaycee Duggard who was kidnapped from the bus stop in her hometown of North Lake Tahoe, California at the age of 11. She was taken by an old man and his wife and kept in a shed. While in the shed she gave birth to two children who were fathered by her kidnapper just like Ma gave birth to Jack who was fathered by old Nick. Jaycee was rescued 18 years later with her 11 and 15 year old girls. Their case is worse because it was a longer period of time but most of their life is really relatable to the life of Ma and Jack in the "Room".
