Miss Peregrine's House for Peculiar Children, Big question
I think that one of the big questions in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is, is it worth it to stay young forever. The book deals with staying young forever once Jacob is on the island with the children at Miss Peregrines home. All of the children that are on the island have gifts I guess you could call them. They all stay young forever. But at times this was not a good thing. Sometimes the kids would get bored and do destructive things. The kids could never see the future. They were not always happy because they knew that almost everyday would be the same. The really had nothing to look forward to. Some good things though because you're young they had energy. They also had someone to take care of them and they didn't have to worry about responsibility.

The rime of the ancient marier
In this poem I think that the theme is about being careful about the choices that you make. If you're not careful then your choice can lead to bad things which can lead to more bad things. Which is like causing a chain reaction. This deals with romance because the spirit lady loves the bird. Well the bird loved the man, but the man was selfish. The man ends up shooting the bird/ which makes the spirit lady extremely upset and she puts a curse on him, for revenge.

Peculiar Children 2
In this part of the book. The little boy is grown up. Jacob works at a store and he hates it. Well one day when he is at work his grandpa calls him saying basically that he is not safe and that the monsters are coming. Jacob told him that he would come over but his grandpa told him not to because its not safe to. Jacob calls his dad to tell him about what is going on and his dad wants to put the grandpa in an old folks home. Jacob doesn't want that though. My favorite character so far is the grandpa but I feel like something bad is going to happen to him.
Peculiar Children
The book starts with a little boy and his grandpa. The little boy talks about how his grandpa was always telling him stories about magical children and monsters. At first the little boy believed his grandpa but then he thinks that his grandpa is lying about it all. So far I really like the book.
