How we cite our quotes: [Part.Paragraph]
Quote #4
"I don't like there to be hidey places." "What's the big deal?" "Zombies." "Ah." "Or ogres of vampires—" (1.224-1.228)
Even though Jack is smart and understands that some things are real and some things are imaginary (yes, some of the things he considers imaginary are also real, but that's another topic), like any child, he's still afraid of imaginary things, like zombies, ogres, and vampires. They could be lurking anywhere!
Quote #5
Beep beep, that's Door. Ma jumps up and makes a sound, I think she hit her head. She shuts Wardrobe tight. (1.410)
Ma's reaction to Old Nick's appearance is instant fear. It's incredible how much she manages to compose herself in his presence, given how frightening he is.
Quote #6
"Also there's Mouse, he's my real friend and you made him gone–" "Yeah," shouts Ma, "so he won't run over your face in the night and bite you." I'm crying so much my breath's all whoopy. I never knowed Mouse would bite my face, I thought that was only vampires. (1.486-1.488)
Here we again see Ma's uncanny ability to strike fear into Jack's heart. And once again, she's right. Mouse could very well nibble on Jack. But we have a feeling that she just doesn't want Mouse around because he could eat food and spread germs, not because she's terrified that Mouse'll eat her son.
