The Glass Castle written by
Jeannette Walls is a memoir of her dysfunctional family and unique
upbringing. Being raised by alcoholic
and careless parents the Walls children learn to take care of themselves
independently. They learned to protect,
feed, and clothe one another until they found a better hope in New York. The
author talks about the harsh realities of life and how her story unfolds. I
chose this IRB because of the many recommendations I have received. I would
like to read this memoir to take a look into someone else’s life and see what
we take for granted in our every day lives. The story is about overcoming
obstacles and remaining loyal to your family, which is an important theme to
have in life. I hope to gain a new perspective on others lives. I am oblivious
to the harsh struggles that some people may face. I hope by reading this I will
be able to gain insight into the hardships and obstacles Jeannette Walls and
other families around the world have overcome.
