Fifth Child Cover Choice

The cover that describes The Fifth Child the best is the one where the boy is looking out the window, the fourth one. Where he has his hand on the window wanting to get out and escape from his life. THats how his life is. "Now he was locked into his room each night, and there were heavy bars on the door as well." (Lessing 64). This cover shows how trapped Ben is in this world. It shows how he does not receive a lot of attention from his family, and how he is basically a prisoner in his own home. He is not a true part of there happy family. He is trapped in this life and there is no escape for him.
