Quote #4

It was true, of course, what my dad said: I did worship my grandfather. (4.52)

Jacob's dad thinks Jacob's admiration of Grandpa Abe is unhealthy because Dad doesn't think that Abe was a good person. To Dad, Grandpa is hardly a role model. He's just an adulterer and a bad father.

Quote #5

"It's amazing, isn't it? Everything he went through." (4.127)

Jacob tries to see the good in Grandpa, though, and tries to understand and admire his accomplishments, like the fact that he survived the war and always lived with honor.

Quote #6

"This is Abraham's grandson, Jacob. He is our honored guest and has come a very long way to be here. I hope you will treat him accordingly." (6.149)

It is clear that Miss Peregrine and the rest of the children in the home respected Jacob's grandfather very much from the way they treat his grandson.
