Compare what Jacob found at the house with what he expected to find, as he explored it.

Jacob hears the house is both empty and, fromothers, that children live there. He makes it to the house in a downpour of rain, and chooses to go upstairs to explore first. The rooms look almost as if the children had just left them, with forgotten toys lying everywhere, collecting dust. He finds what must have been Miss Peregrine’s room. In it is a locked trunk. He tries many times to open it, and finally decides to push it over the upstairs railing and let gravity do the work. It smashes straight through the floorboards to the basement, and in it he finds dozens of photographs, all very similar to his grandfather’s old photos. He realizes that those photos must have come from this trunk, from this house.
