Jake also shows the reader that he is different and reacts differently than other characters to certain situations. In the book when his Grandfather runs off into the woods behind his house, Jake does something crazy that worries the characters and the reader.

But instead of waiting Jake went into the woods alone. When Jake found his Grandfather dead he was suprisingly pretty calm. But when his friend found him he was in shock and was freaking out.
