Ma and Jack are the two main characters who live in the room. Old Nick is the person who is holding Ma and Jack captive. There are also family and nurses who help Ma and Jack after they have escaped. Jack is further not represented as a victim because Ma protects him from the actions of Old Nick and normalises the situation for him. Donoghue uses homodiegetic narration with Jack.

For example, “Ma takes her pill from the sliver pack that has 28 little spaceships,” as a reader we are aware this refers to the contraceptive pill, however, Jack isn’t.

According to our data we found that Igor & Yana Romanov are Morgan’s birth parent’s. To find out that Igor & Yana are Morgan’s birth parents we had to eliminate the other four couples. To eliminate these couple we found out their genotype and their percentage chance of being Morgan’s parent’s using the Law of Segregation and the Law of Dominance.

For hairline they had a 50% chance, earlobes 50% chance, chin shape 0% chance, vision 100% chance. With them having a 0% chance on passing on Morgan’s chin shape they can’t be her birth parents. The second couple we did was Boris and Natasha. The traits we tested were Hairline, earlobes, chin shape and bloodtype. The percentage chance

My earliest memory of my childhood has to be the first major fight my parents had that has been seared into the memories of my childhood. We all hate to see our parents fight and usually when I would witness my parents fight I would block it out because “mommy and daddy will always love each other no matter what.” They would tell me that over and over again no matter how bad their fights got.
