A
new marking period means a new IRB book, and for this marking period I have
chosen to read the memoir, The Glass
Castle by Jeannette Walls. The
book is about the author’s struggles growing up and how all the children in her
family were forced to learn how to take care of themselves due to their
father’s drinking problem and their mother’s lack of responsibility towards
raising a family. After hearing
endless compliments towards this non-fiction book, I thought it was time to see
for myself what made this book so memorable. Also, this memoir is a New York Times best seller, which
made it even more appealing to me. I hope to gain a new understanding of what
it would be like to have to raise oneself. I can not wait to drive into to this
unique view of life.
