Sarah Andruik- Job #5 Mood Maven


Mood Maven 


Page 210
"Forgive me. I continue to underestimate the breadth of your ignorance." Miss Peregrine says to Jacob. She sounds very condescending and makes Jacob feel nervous. When she says 'forgive me' she's being sarcastic and trying to make Jacob realize he's in the wrong.

Page 218
"Whatever," I said "You brought it up." Jacob is mood here is frustrated. He feels this way because the other kids all know stuff he doesn't. They all discuss other secrets and when Jacob tries to ask they say they can't tell him. Now Jacob is starting to get annoyed. The feeling these words create is sort of bitter.

Page 221

"Would you wake him? Oh please Enoch." This quote is from one of the children on the island, Bronwyn. She's asking the other boy Enoch if he'll wake up her brother. Her tone is very forlorn. It makes you feel sorry for her, that she lost her brother. 

Page 232

"I'm really, really sorry," I repeated. "I never do things like this." Jacob is very regretful after he gets caught. He goes into Emma's room and finds letter between her and Jacob's grandfather. His curiosity gets the better of him and so he goes through the letters. She catches him and gets very angry so he feels remorse. It makes you feel Jacob's guilt and Emma's anger.

Page 247

"I'd always known I was strange." Jacob says once he realizes that he too is peculiar. He's not really upset or anything he's just kind of calm about it. I think he's sort of glad he has more of an excuse to stay with the peculiars and not return to his average, boring life.

In section 4 when Jacob makes the decision to stay at Miss Peregrines home for peculiar children reminds me of when I was deciding which high school I wanted to go to. It is similar because it is a decision that will change how I go about my life, I have to make sure that I think about all the factors and consider all opinions. The same goes for Jacob, staying at Miss Peregrines home can and will change his life. He is leaving behind all his family and moving on in his life. When I was choosing which school I wanted to go to for high school, I thought about some the same things Jacob did. Friends influenced me, I wanted to stay with them, so did Jacob. He met Emma and didn't want to leave her because they had become very close. Family also crossed my mind when deciding, I wanted to go to Fx so I could stay with my brother, just like how Jacob wanted to stay with his family in America. In the end Jacob and I both made the right choice, I am going to Jp and Jacob is staying at Miss Peregrines home.

Character Commandant

Page 91
Jacob is trying to get information about Grandpa Portman from his father but his father isn't really wanting to talk about it.
"I never dug to deep with your grandpa because I was afraid of what I'd find." Jacobs dad tells him. He tells Jacob about how one time he found a letter from another women and after hearing this Jacob feels shame for believing his Grandpa and his story's. That's why Jacobs dad didn't really have much respect for his father. Now Jacob feels confused because he wants to believe that his Grandpa is a good man but how can he after what he's discovered.


Page 121

"I'd seen them in the photographs". Jacob is in the old house and he finds a big, rusty, locked chest. His curiosity gets the better of him and so he tries to open it but can't get it. So he decides to drop it down the stairs and it's so heavy it falls right through the floor, into the basement. Jacob is nervous because the basement is dark and he hasn't been down there yet. When he gets down he finds out the trunk is full of pictures so he starts looking at them. And then he starts hearing the house creak and when he turns around he see's a dozen of the kids from the photos. He was so shocked all he could do was stare as one girl had fire coming out of her hands.
Page 127

"I unfolded myself from the cramped cairn tunnel and stepped outside only to be blinded by light.Shielding my eyes, I squinted through split fingers at a world I hardly recognized." Here is a bit of foreshadowing when Jacob says 'a world I hardly recognized' because it's true. Once he's through the tunnel he's in a totally different world. He doesn't quite yet realize that he's gone back in town but he is starting to notice something is different. For starters it's a nice, sunny day which is odd since it's usually cold and dreary. Then when he walks through town everybody stares at him like he's crazy and now Jacob is thinking what is going on?

Page 148

"My name is Headmistress Peregrine, or if you prefer since you are not currently under my care, Miss Peregrine. Pleased to finally meet you." This is the moment Jacob has been waiting for, to finally meet Miss Peregrine and get some answers. He now knows somehow he's landed in the past. Jacob meets with a girl, Emma whom he saw on the other side of the tunnel. She leads him back to the orphanage and in the yard he sees all the kids from the photos. Now he's certain his grandfather told him the truth. When he meets the Headmistress she is nothing but kind and trusting towards him. The other children are a little uncertain of him and don't believe him about who his grandfather is. So finally Miss Peregrine sits him down to have a talk about what's happening.



Page 206

"I'd still like to know how someone manages to get a sunburn on a day like this." This is what Jacobs dad says to him after he's spent a day in the past with the peculiar children. He is beginning to get  a little suspicious of Jacob. Like why he has a sunburn and where he spend his days.
"I lay there in the dark, still looking." Jacob is talking about Emma and he is realizing that he has feelings for her. Everything he does he thinks about Emma. But he also knows that it's wrong because she loves his grandfather and he's only a replacement.

Illustrator - Gina McMonagle

I chose to draw a picture of the box of letters Jacob finds in Emma's room, because it symbolizes everything Jacob has been searching for, answers and they are in this box. This box was labeled as Emma's and Jacob knew it was supposed to be kept a secret, but he knew what could have been in that box. He found love letters and notes and pictures that explain all the reasons why. At first Emma is mad because Jacob disrespected her and went through her stuff without permission. But in the end she understands why and helps Jacob understand. This is also important because this box is the start of Jacob discovering his special ability.

                         They both play a big part in each others life and in the story.

The main character is Jacob but Grandpa Portman is another main character he is also Jacobs grandfather.

"the most fascinating person i knew." Pg.12  He is Outgoing.

"Knew everything about guns and self-defense and surviving in the wilderness, and spoke at least
three languages that weren't English."Pg.12 He is at multitasking.

"when i asked my dad why grandpa was so crazy about guns,he said it sometimes happens to people
who used to be soldiers or who had experienced traumatic things."Pg.29 He is a strong person.

Grandpa Portman is a lot of things but i would he is very Kind, caring and polite person.

"way he explained things was almost hypnotizing, and within two sessions he'd convinced me that the creature had been noting then product overheated imagination."Pg.43 belives in people.

"my grandfather had described it a hundred times, but in his stories that house was always a bright,
happy place."Pg.83 He is outgoing a lot like his grandpa.

Jacob is a strong person he likes to question a lot of things but when he is passionate about something he rarely gives up.
