My First Experience in College

Glass Castle The Glass Castle was written by the author, Jeanette Walls and she is also the protagonist of the book. The book tells the story of Jeanette Walls and her family manners. It shows how they basically strugg direct day in and out standardised being short on food and money, they perpetually tendd around the country just to find a typeset to settle in. Jeanette Walls and her family mostly lived in various mining towns on the westbound coast of America.As Jeannette grew up in the desert, she enchanted by the limitless move of nature and the fantasies her find dreams up for her and her siblings. When Jeanette lived in the desert with her brother (Brian), she unremarkably stacked up a rock collection and explored the natural and synthetical features of the purlieu. Due to Rex Alcoholism, life in the desert ended because the family ran out of funds. So from the desert, they decided to relocate to Welch where Rex grew up.One thing I mostly knew about the Walls family wa s that their parents were both(prenominal) addicted to substances that could kill, their father was addicted to alcohol while their mum was so addicted to sugar and it lead to them not paying attention to their children. On my academic research, the article I researched was on alcoholism and it basically state alcohol consumption, particularly heavier drinking is an important risk factor many an(prenominal) health problems and, thus, is a major contributor to the global burden of disease.When it comes to Rex, the organise of the Walls family, he tends to focus more drinking than his family which led to him being repulsively poor. However, life in Welch, West Virginia is completely different than the life the Walls led in the desert on the West coast. Most notably, Welch has a pass season which brings new challenges to the Walls family. From their arrival, the Wells children are itching to leave Welch and reproduction to the desert. But eventually circumstances become so bad th at they construct they must move away from their parents in order to achieve stable lives.Lori and Jeannette set their sights on New York and begin saving money to move out of Welch once and for all. Moreover, Walls describes in fascinating detail what it was to be a child in this family, from the embarrassing (wearing shoes held together with safety pins utilise markers to color her skin in an effort to camouflage holes in her pants) to the repulsive (being told, later a creepy uncle pleasured himself in close proximity, that sexual fill out is a crime of perception and being pimped by er father at a bar). Though Walls has well earned the right to complain, at no point does she play the victim. In fact, Walls removed, nonjudgmental stance is initially startling, since many of the circumstances she describes could be categorized as abusive (and unquestioningly neglectful). But on the contrary, Walls respects her parents knack for making hardships feel like adventures and her l ove for themdespite their overwhelming self-absorptionresonates from cover to cover.Eventually the siblings all end up relocating from Welch to New York in an attempt to be liberated from the stifling environment in Welch. For a time everyone is settled and living independently until Rex and go Mary show up in Manhattan in a van. by and by just a short while, the couple ends up poor and unsettled once again and despite their efforts, the children are unable to take on the burden of hosting their parents anymore.Consequently, Rose Mary and Rex become squatters in abandoned apartments until Rex dies after having a heart attack. To Conclude, Jeannette has finally reconciled her past and present and no longer feels the need to hide behind lies or half-truths. In my perspective, I feel Glass Castle has thought me a lesson and that is to take life serious not for a mere joke and that is why Rex died through with(predicate) ignoring the clean aspect of life. The memoir liberates her an d allows her to do what she enjoys most about typography communicate with the world.
