Controversial Issues in Jeannette Walls’s

1. To what extent are Rose Mary and Rex Walls "not suitable for parents"? Are Janet and her brothers and sisters good at breeding? Is it the best interest for my child to grow with my parents or is it best to leave home?

Rose Mary Wells has a unique perspective on life and her daughter outlines this point through the book. For example, we learned that mothers believe that "People are not too concerned about their children" and believe that "relief from youth is good for you" (28). What kind of person is your mother?

In an interview, Janet Wells was asked if she succeeded because of her hardships. What do you think? Did she become a girlfriend because she was still a child?

Jeannette Walls expressed her book as "memoirs" and claimed that it was the story of her life. What do you think? Is the glass castle non-imaginary, fictitious?

My mother complained that she is an adult and that she should be able to do whatever she wishes. To what extent does adulthood constitute freedom? To what extent is homeless's choice the ultimate expression of freedom?

6. Like a beauty, "Successfully to the eyes of the viewer" Success? Are Rose Mary and Rex Walls successful with their own standards?

This book starts with Jeannette Walls, our heroine who became an adult by a taxi in New York. When I borrowed a car in Janet in order to participate in company activities, she saw outside the window and saw the mother looking for something to eat in the trash can. She knew that her mother was homeless for many years, but this scene returned Janet to her poor childhood. The first memory of Janet's visit was when she tried to heat the dog with a stove when she was 3 years old. She was too close, and the pink dress she was wearing suddenly burned and burned badly. After spending a few days at the hospital, a father appeared and pulled out of the bed and quietly left the hospital, so they did not have to pay the invoice. It is the first time that Jeannette remembers "Skedaddle" as her father's alcoholism and delusions left the family to avoid payment and troubles.

"Skedaddle" defines Janet's young life as the family moves from one town in the southwest to another. One of the first longer stops that Janet can remember is Batel, Nevada. In the old mining town, Janet and her brother Brian could explore countless deserts. The mother also took on the task of the teacher, and Janet wanted them to finally find their house. But then the father objected to the law, so they had to leave again. My mother just inherited the house of Phoenix, so the Walls family is there. Janet and her brothers and sisters are very surprised. The house is large and has a nice garden. The children soon went to school and their father got the job of an electrician, but I continued drinking. Janet asked her father to give up his wine as her birthday present. He agreed, but he quickly beat his promise.

Janet Wals is the second oldest of the four children. Her father Rex is an alcoholic, her mother is Mary Mary, she is a painter and a teacher. When Janet was 7 years old, the family moved to Battle Hill, Nevada. Rex worked at a mining company, and since the family lived in a refurbished station, it stabilized for the first time. Eventually Lex lost his job and the children became hungry. Rose Mary holding a certificate of education was taught at a local school, but Rex immediately received her salary. Still, the family was still happy until the little boy corrected Janet and attacked her with BB gun while the child was at home alone. Janet's older sister, Lori recovered his father's pistol and frightened him, but the police were summoned and Rex and Rosemary escaped to Phoenix, Arizona when they learned that children could be taken away I decided to.
