Jack and Ma show each other lots of love as the book goes on and even in the circumstance they were in they still be able to express love during those tough times

Conflicts

"Outside"

Jack is not used to outside so when he finally gets outside his body reacts differently than others.

"Old Nick"

He is very violent with Ma and its hard for Jack to see Ma hurt

Old nick is the man who had them held hostage in "room"

The "Outside"

Ma

Ma sometimes pushes Jack too hard about the escape plan

Jack thinks Ma is lying about the real world but at the same time says "i don't want there to be bad stories and me not know them". So there is a small part of him that does believe Ma.

Jack is a very brave boy and having to go through with Ma's escape plan just proves how brave he his willing to take those risks
