Isolation

The author shows how isolated Jim feels through out the story. He shows it first when Marge leaves Jim and Jim stares at her through out the window looking at her not even attempting to stop her because he knows he wont be able to stop her. He begins to shed tears and the whole back round behind him suddenly gets dark. The author made me feel as though Jim was isolated because he looked heart broken and all alone as he sat in front of that window and watched his family leave in a rainy gray day. In addition when Jenifer climbs into bed with Jim and Jim doesn't want her but she forces herself onto him. All of a sudden when she does that he author gives us a roof top view of how dark that room gets and how helpless Jim is and feels.
