HUGE, BIG, LARGE QUESTION

My big question for Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children: Is it worth giving up everything you had for something you want more? I think this is a big question because this is pretty much Jacobs ultimate decision. Back home he didn't really like the life he was living. He had a job he hated, he only had one friend, his family drove him crazy, and his grandfather that everyone thought was crazy had just died. So he didn't really have a whole lot to look forward to if he went back home. At Miss Peregrine's though he was wanted. He had tons of friends that actually understood him. He had Emma, who was the closest thing he ever had to a girlfriend. The people there actually cared about him. He felt like he actually belonged there. So he had to make a decision whether he would go back home to his family or stay at MissPeregrine's. You would think the decision was easy considering the pros and cons. It really wasn't though. His parents did care about him. They would be devastated if he just left them without telling them why or where he went. His dad would feel like it was his fault. Jacob knew he couldn't go home though. He had nothing there for him and the wights and hollowgasts would be after him for sure. He had to figure out some way to tell his dad. First he tried writing him a letter, but knew is dad would just think he was crazy. He ended up having some help from his friends from MissPeregrine's. They came to their room and tried showing Jacobs dad that he wasn't making all the stuff up and that his grandpas stories were true. Jacobs dad just thought he was dreaming and went back to bed. Jacob ended up leaving him a letter and a photo of Jacobs grandpa with Emma so he would know everything was real.
