Big Question

big question : Is it worth it to give up living with your family to live in a time loop? throughout the book "Miss Peregrines school for Peculiar children" the main character jacob is constantly thinking about this question. He feels it would be a bad experience for his family to suddenly and unexplainably lose their only child. he is what the others of his kind call a peculiar, they all feel it would be best for him to come live with those of his kind in a time loop where he would never age. He is worried that his disappearance would traumatize his family members, so he holds off until the last minute when Miss Peregrine is in danger to make his decision. He ultimately decides to live in the time loop and that it is best for his well being to be with those of his kind because they offer a protection from the wights and hollows, that the normal population would call him crazy for even thinking about such horrendously awful creatures. He also decides after they get over the fact that he disappeared that it will eventually be better for them because the creatures wont go after his family if he isnt around to put them in danger.
