The Glass Castle pages 1-34

We are introduced to the dream of the glass castle on p. 25. What is it?

Dad said, "You leave that to me. Don't I always take care of you?" "'Course you do!," I said (Walls 17). What does this show us about Jeannette and Rex?

Why does Jeannette play with fire after getting burned?

What did you learn about Rex and RoseMary after hearing about Mary Charlene's death?

Think about the scene where Jeannette falls out of the car and after, when Rex cleans her up. What qualities of parenting are absent or present?

"I lived in a world that at any moment could erupt into fire. It was the sort of knowledge that kept you on your toes" (Walls 34). What might this be foreshadowing?
