Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is a very thought provoking read throughout. However, one line in particular really made me think. Our main character Jacob is talking to the museum curator Martin Pagett, when the latter of the two says, "Though I imagine we're killing ourselves right now in all manner of ways that'll seem insane to people in the future."

When Jacob got to the mysterious house he examined the home "I went room to room, examining their contents like an archeologist... In modest library, the creep of moisture had bowled the selves into crooked smiles.

Hiding in plain sight, belittled for their differences, and ridiculed for trying to be normal, the peculiar children are outcasts of society. In the present, we see these peculiarities as gifts.

The language and the syntax reveal the background and the nature of characters and situations. The story is about a young boy and his best friend and the troubles they encounter growing up.
