“There’s something in our world that makes men lose their heads- they couldn’t be fair if they tried. In our courts, when it’s a white man’s word against a black man’s word, the white always wins. They’re ugly, but these are the facts of life.” ************ Along with the main theme of the story, racism, there are multiple other themes that are represented in the story.

Reading these short stories in class I have noticed that there are many similarities between Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and the gothic short stories. I believe that “Feather Pillow”, “The Masque of Red Death”, and “Black Cat” relate to my outside reading book the most because they have similar gothic elements that are presented in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is a science fiction novel that was presented to the reading world in 2011 by Ransom Riggs. This year the characters of Riggs’s novel made their way to the big screen under the direction of Tim Burton. While critics rave about the wonders of Burton’s skills to transform the novel into a believable reality, I have some other views. My views dig past the screen and break apart the struggles and decisions Burton made while directing. While I agree with Hoffman, who noted this film is “Tim Burton’s best in 20 years” (2016), there are some scenes that left me confused and upset.

But the father’s mind was still filled with concerns that night. Growing up, Jacob was a “strange child,” he was too intelligent and mature for a child at his age. He would be like any other normal young boy at the age of twelve, playing with toys, and having to do chores and homework to be his only problem, like any normal kid.

Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children is about a sixteen year old boy named Jacob Portman who grew up hearing his Grandpa Portman's stories. As Jacob grew up his grandpa would tell him crazy stories of him when he was a kid how he lived and how he lived in this children's home on an island, and how every kid had a special power.

Jacob never listened to his parents, and was always interested in the stories. One day Grandpa Portman was killed by the monsters, and Jacob started to go through his stuff

The book I read is Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets by jk Rowling. The many conflicts of the story give it an interesting taste and builds up to the climax where Harry beats Voldemort.(not for good though) Harry's perspective on all of these conflicts are somewhat relative to mine such as how he dealed with the bludger at quittich.(he kind of fell off his broom) Though, I am going to talk about the conflicts like how Dobby dropped the cake on the business owner's wife, how Harry Harry heard the serpent and nobody else heard it.

Tim Burton is known for directing movies that pertain to dark, gothic, eccentric and quirky fantasy. His newest 2016 movie, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is filled with fun, unusual characters who work well together. Each one is eccentric in their own way and their quality adds to the suspense and thrill part of the fantasy. I myself compare it to Harry Potter. Both main characters discovered a hidden world beneath the one in which we live. Harry Potter found witches and wizards while Jacob found the world of peculiars.
