The Glass Castle portrays poverty from a childs point of view (Jeannette). Poverty has caused the parents to only think of money, blinded the parents, Mr and Mrs. Walls and has made them very selfish. They do not see that their children are struggling beyond measures to support each other and live a life where they fit in. For example, Jeannette's father made her bare sexual actions that Robbie did to her, instead of being a normal father and trying to prevent this. He did this in his greed for money. I think that this is not acceptable; if they can't provide and respect the children then they should consider a foster home. My reaction to this was disgusted at the fact that he did this to his own daughter for money and even then that money was only going to go towards cigarettes and beer.
