The Glass Castle

For my outside reading book this quarter I am reading a book called The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. It is a memoir about a little girl growing up under harsh conditions. Her family gets kicked out of their house and are forced to live on the streets. Jeannette, who is only three years old, finds it fun to sleep under the stars for a night, it reminded her of living like the indians. At the age of three she is very developed in everyday skills. She can make her own food and cook her own hot dogs on the stove which leads to an accidental disaster one day which sent Jeannette to the hospital. In the process of cooking, her dress lit on fire and burned her body from head to toe. as a result of this the parents have no money to pay for doctor bills and so kidnap her from the hospital and take her to live on the streets. Im excited to see how the story unfolds as Jeannette and her family survive the rough life of homelessness and poverty in The Glass Castle.
