The Unforgettable Room Many people in this world love their bed, it is a great place to relax after a stressful day of work or school. After all, someone’s bedroom is their room in which they can do anything they choose to. It is a place of comfort and joy. I however, hated my bedroom. All my bedroom did was establish a negative mind, which resulted in me neglecting my room. My bedroom was simply a place in my house that I never payed attention to. My bedroom did not bring me any comfort or joy, which is something every bedroom should do. I feared going in there.
I was ten years old when it all happened. My mother had died, right in front of me, in our bedroom. My heart was crippled. I knew it was going to happen, but I refused to believe it actually did. I thought it was the end of the world. Ever since that moment, I never stepped into our, well, now my room. Anytime I tried, I broke down into tears. I began to sleep on the couch in my living room. I thought if I never stepped in my room, the memory of my mother dying would go away. My room itself was pretty simple, I never really cared about having an amazing decorated room. I just thought of my room as a place to sleep. My bedroom after moving my mother’s bed, consisted of my bed, a closet, a few shelves and drawers, and some wall art.
Until, one

It was bittersweet saying goodbye to my room. I was not sure how to feel. Do I feel sad? Do I feel happy? I did not know, but what I did know was, that I will always remember that room, not just being the room where my mother died, but also as the room that helped me overcome the pain the memory caused. As much as I wish this never happened, it did, and I am glad that it did. This experience has taught me to overcome grief and accept what happens in my life, and not let one thing take over my entire life. It has taught me in order to accomplish anything I want, I just need determination and a positive

Imagine you have difficulty waking up, trying to fight the constant sensation of drowsiness with the little life you have left. When you wake, you struggle through the haze of confusion to finally realize that you are in the same monochromatic, secluded room you’ve been in for the past two months or possibly two years. No family in sight. No pets. No fireplace awaiting you.
The room is described by the narrator as “a filthy cocoon” that “took you in and hold you close” (190). The image of a cocoon implies a sense of comfort, a covering that is both snug and protective. Yet, it is also isolating, disconnecting one from the outside world, and is difficult to break free from. Furthermore, this cocoon is “filthy”, filled with “rubbish” and where one loses track of time since there are “no clocks and [watches are] lost and buried” (190). It seems as if this cocoon clutches onto everything not even garbage and time can escape.

If you were younger, you were more likely to stay with your family, but I wasn't one of the lucky ones. I was all on my own, assigned a barracks to sleep in. It looked more like a shack held together with dirt and wood than a functional building, but it was now my home. There was a thick layer of dust covering my “home”, but no broom to sweep it up with. I laid my clothes out in the shape of a bed for some cushion
Carrying on, I needed a cool glass of water. I slowly walked out of my tiny bedroom, and it felt amazing to get a little bit of fresh air. I am just going to say it is very bothersome staying in a tiny room while coughing up hairballs, or what it felt like. I took one turn out of my doorway and I was about to go down the hallway to the kitchen when my parents’ whom were bickering intrigued me.
And Michael says, “No, a bed.” When Michael responds with that simple three-word sentence, his facial expression portrays a sense of embarrassment. As Leigh Anne asked Michael the question about having a room to herself, she at first chuckled, but then her facial expression proceeded to take a three hundred and sixty degree turn when Michael said that he had never had his own bed. The change in her facial expression allows the audience to comprehend and paint an image in their head about what Michael’s home life looked like in the past. They may imagine Michael sleeping on the floor or on the side of the road.

Lenny Abrahamson’s drama film Room follows Joy and her five-year-old son Jack and their experiences of living in a tiny room with only so much space. Throughout the film, both aspects of low-key lighting and high-key lighting are filmed in various scenes. These lighting styles indicate both the rough and unstable atmosphere of living in just one small room as well as the freedom of escaping the small room and starting a new chapter in their lives. In addition, both lighting styles also play an important role in the film’s plot and set the mood for the plot by either adding suspense or relief. Room narrates the story of Joy and her son Jack’s lives as they are trapped in a very small shelter that they refer to as Room.
