Quote 4
My grandfather was the only member of his family to escape Poland before the Second World War broke out. (Prologue.47)
It's sad that Jacob's grandfather had to leave his home at such a young age, and it's even sadder that he could never return. Jacob will have to face the same decision at the end of the book.
Quote 5
I thought about it, looking at the pictures and then at my grandfather, his face so earnest and open. What reason would he have to lie? (Prologue.38)
At this point, Jacob does believe Grandpa—which is great because Grandpa isn't lying to him. But when kids make fun of Jacob at school for believing these stories, Jacob changes his mind. It's not Grandpa who betrays Jacob at all, but the other way around.
Quote 6
I told [Grandpa] that a made-up story and a fairy tale were the same thing, and that fairy tales were for pants-wetting babies, and that I knew his photos and stories were fakes. I expected him to get mad or put up a fight, but instead he just said, "Okay." (Prologue.45)
Or maybe Grandpa does betray Jacob here. Why doesn't he try harder to convince him?
