Quote 7
I thought about how my grandfather's family had been taken from him, and how because of that my dad grew up feeling like he didn't have a dad, and now I had acute stress and nightmares and was sitting all alone in a falling-down house and crying hot, stupid tears all over my shirt. (5.20)
Seems like this feeling of being alone runs in the family, and it's reached a critical mass in Jacob as he thinks about how his grandfather was alone, and his father felt alone, and he feels alone. That would be hard to deal with even if he wasn't in the middle of a creepy falling-apart house.
Quote 8
There never was any girl. I'd imagined her, and the rest of them, too. (5.72)
Jacob sometimes thinks his isolation is driving him crazy enough to see things. At first, that's a more rational explanation than the fact that some kids might be invisible or able to shoot fire from their hands.
