Sexual Assualt - Sexual Assault is taken lightly in the Walls Family.

I chose this quote and picture concerning the topic because they go hand in hand with providing a proper example of how serious sexual assault was. Not much empathy was put into the children's well-being after an event like this. The children were told to brush it off because they were never physically hurt.

Alcoholism - Alcoholism ties in with Rex's behavioral problems

I chose this quote and picture because they relate to the topic. When Rex drinks, he is very destructive and angry. His growing addiction to alcohol curves how long he lasts without it, which only makes a craving stronger. Rex was a heavy drinker all his life. Years of abuse make for more dependency, which means more frequent mood swings.

The topic and quote correlate to the pictures, resembling how the children had to dig through the trash for food. The picture creates a prime example of what the children had to dig through. If the children were seen digging through the garbage, they would be mocked and made fun of.

In this quote, three-year-old Jeannette Walls is expected to cook herself, which raises the topic of self-sufficiency. The picture represents the kids needing to do whatever they need to survive. All three children are expected to keep themselves neat.

The topic of poverty is very relevant in this book. The picture lined up with the quote and the topic because the family always found ways to scrap up money and food without taking handouts. Rex could never hold a job because of his growing addiction to alcohol and Rosemary refused to get a job.

# data[].attributes.body
The topic of Reliability was something the children could never trust towards their parents. This picture, quote, and topic all resemble how bad Rex and Rosemary were. Rex could never hold a job, and Rosemary refused to get a job because of her "growing art career." Rex always had a hard time getting a job because of his alcohol addiction.
