FULL SUMMARY

Chapter 4: Clothespin Message

In this chapter, we see Jak in his room working on his homework. Jak has this habit of sticking out the tip of his tongue, especially just when he is facing some difficulties. Suddenly there's a noise from the window which startles Jak momentarily, but then he smiles, pulling open the curtain. Hanging outside his window, he finds a piece of paper fastened with a clothespin.

This is a method of communicating between Jak and Julia called 'Clothespin Messaging', something they invented back in primary school. A fishing line is spanned between their rooms, and it serves as a conduit for sending messages, making messaging more fun than any modern means. Jak proceeds to read, sigh, and respond to the message using this system. He begins to write on a piece of paper, folds it up, attaches it to the clothespin and gently reels this message across the distance separating the rooms using the line.

Just as Jak begins tackling his last math problem, another extended message from Julia arrives. The message conveys strong emotions, emphasized by many exclamation marks. The use of 'Clothespin Messaging' is a way for Jak and Julia to maintain communication, highlighting the closeness of their friendship.
