The glass castle 1.

The glass castle is a fantastic unbelievable story. It's the memoir of Jeannette Walls a gossip columnist and contributor to MSNBC news network. It's mostly the story of her growing up homeless and dirt poor dreaming for better things. Essentially the "American dream" with a few hilarious and painful quirks. In example having her cat thrown out the car, herself getting thrown out of the car, seeing her mother being held out the window, starved, living in in a new town every half a year or less for the first 10 years of her life. Life just wasn't pleasent. There was never enough money with her father an acholholic and her mother was a... I don't know, maybe a complete FAILURE. O.k. let me tell you about this lady. What this lady was, other than being a failure as a mother to her children, was a failure in life. She never held a job more than a year and even that was pushing it after a few months on the job as a teacher she would lay and bed and scream refusing to get up saying she was sick or making up any kind of story. Work is really not that bad. Back in those days being a teacher wasn't bad at all not when your children are starving and you have nothing left in your cabbinet. If she didn't want to work she should've sold the land she inherited from her mother. She wouldn't, she said it had been in the family for years "family land." Who cares about that when there's nothing to eat? Even as she grew older she never changed. In the end of the book she decides to be homeless with her husband who she has never left. Yes, she decides to be homeless. This horrified me. It actually took laziness to the extreme.
