In the Glass Castle there are many horrible things going on. One thing that is great that you see throughout the story is the children's perseverance to want to live and to get out of the messed up lifestyle their parents put them into. Whenever something brought them down the Walls children knew how to get right back up. The kids go through so many devastating things which is pretty sad that at very young ages they have to go through many things that could have been prevented. I believe that if the ‘tax collectors’ would have ever gotten them they would have gotten the kids taken away. Sadly im pretty sure that they would have gotten separated from her siblings as well. The kids had an alcoholic father and a crazy mother that always had enough money but never used it. Even when they were broke as can be and had no food for days they had to suffer through that. These children especially Jeannette shows you that you can see the best in the people you love even when they've let you down many times. It also demonstrates how you you need to take a stand for yourself & that you can change your life if you put the effort. If you don't like something about yourself or your life choices you can make a difference for yourself. It also really shows that it doesn't matter where you come from if you strive to do better you can do better and no one or nothing can get in your way. You should be proud of where you came from and the hard work that paid off in the end.
