Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

Right now I am reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. There is one line from the book that i just found to be very important, "'But why can't they?' She narrowed her eyes at me for a moment and then shook her head. 'Forgive me. I continue to underestimate the breath of your ignorance'" (Riggs 206). I thought that  this quote was very helpful to me when learning more about the characters. This quote is an example of characterization because it gives you a trait of the main character. It says that Jacob is very ignorant. He keeps pushing the subject even though he does not know the half of it. It also helped me make a connection from him to me. Have you ever been ignorant? I feel that I am ignorant a lot. I never just except an answer. I always ask why not, even though I may not know all the facts or may not understand it as much as the person answering me. This helped me understand what the main character, Jacob, was thinking when he asked why not.
