Entry #4

The Glass Castle is the title of this memoir. It refers to a house that the father of this memoir decided to build. He made promises to his children that he will build it and they will live happily. The time never came for them to build the "glass castle" due to a rare deadly disease that the father, Rex Walls, had. He soon died after discovering he had this disease. The blueprints for the glass castle were carried by either the father or Jeannette wherever they went. I think that they have lost a lot of money in trying to invest in the glass castle.  The Glass Castle got its name from the fathers determination to build an actual "glass castle".

Entry #3

The children Jeannette, Brian, Lori, and Maureen created a life for themselves on their own. They portrayed determination, hardwork, strength, and optimism throughout the whole memoir which led to successful lives for all of them. I admire Jeannette for supporting her siblings and always working hard in trying to please her family; she put her family before herself at times. I think that if it wouldn't have been for Jeannette's determination to send Lori to New York, none of the kids would have succeeded as much as they have in their lives.
