How we cite our quotes: [Part.Paragraph]
Quote #4
"You don't even know what it's doing to you." [Ma's] voice is shaky. "You need to see things, touch things—" (3.251)
Ma longs for Jack to explore Outside more than Jack does. Jack is content staying inside Room, his home, but Ma knows how many wonderful things are Outside for him to experience.
Quote #5
"Will we go explore?" "Where?" "Outside." "We're in Outside already." "Yeah, but let's go out in the fresh air and look for the cat," says Ma. (4.247-4.251)
Jack doesn't yet understand that there are different versions of Outside. For him, being cooped up in a hospital is a world of difference from being cooped up inside Room. But for Ma, being cooped up anywhere is still being cooped up… she wants to be in the outdoors, and she wants to convince Jack to come with her.
Quote #6
There's anyones too near eating strange squares with little squares all over and curly bacons. (4.310)
Everything is so new to Jack, it's sometimes difficult to realize at first what he's describing. Here, he's in the cafeteria breakfast room, and everyone is eating waffles. Jack really does have to learn everything out in the world (but don't we all?). Good thing no one tells him to leggo my Eggo, or his head might explode.
