How we cite our quotes: [Part.Paragraph]

Quote #4

I know that already, everything's breakable. (1.552)

This is a pretty profound line from a five-year-old. Most kids don't learn to take care of their things for a very, very long time. Jack has learned this lesson pretty early.

Quote #5

"Listen. What we see on TV is… it's pictures of real things." That's the most astonishing I ever heard. (1.101-1.102)

Revealing to Jack that TV is kind of real opens up a whole new world for Jack to learn about. This revelation changes Jack's entire world, making him think about everything in a whole new way.

Quote #6

Alice says she can't explain herself because she's not herself, she knows who she was this morning but she's changed several times since then. (2.116)

Jack is talking about Alice in Wonderland here, and he's relating it to himself. When Jack's view of the world changes because of new knowledge, he changes right along with it. His identity, especially at such a young age, is closely tied together with how he sees the world, and how he thinks he fits in it.
