In Part II, Jacques takes advantage of what is given to him. He refuses to turn into his mother sitting next to the window, and he fully takes part in life. He makes it a point to experience all the sights and sounds of downtown..... he plays soccer, and he studies. Jacques serves as a symbol for those who lift themselves out of poverty, and his hard work and vigor for life foreshadow that adult he will become.
