In Jeanette Wall's memoir, it explains how she was really struggling with mental health from her parent. they were being manipulative they will tell her not to do something but they go and do it in front of her and they tell her that she can do this bad thing for certain reasons. " Mom told us we would have to go shoplifting. "isn't that a sin," I asked mom" on page 111 there is a part where the mom tells Jeannette that it is bad to steal but she went to the clothing store and stole a dress and said that if you don't have money it is OK to steal sometimes. when she grow up she didn't want to be remembered as the kid that her mom was broke and had to steal stuff. I like Jeannette's point of view because there is so much detail that she put in the memoir. Jeannette told herself when she grows up she will not become like her parent and will be a better person than them. She was trying to leave her parent and go to New York but they had to follow her around.

Jeanette said,"One night when I was almost ten, I was awakened by someone running his hands over my private parts," (Walls 103). The actions of her parents cause Jeannette's trust in her parents to deteriorate. According to The Future of Children, poverty has many physical effects, but mental effects play a larger role in the lifestyle of a person. Jeanne Brooks-Gunn states, "Emotional outcomes are often grouped along two dimensions: externalizing behaviors including aggression, fighting, and acting out, and internalizing behaviors such as anxiety, social withdrawal, and depression" (Brooks-Gunn 62). Jeanette and her siblings suffer from the "internalized behaviors" as stated by The Future of Children as a result of the family's continuous poverty throughout the children's lives. The stress and worries come indirectly from

Let's talk a little bit about homelessness for Jeannette. Jeannette experiences homelessness all her life from the beginning of the book till almost the end of the book. I am saying almost because she starts growing up and finds a husband that can take care of her. Jeannette was ashamed that she was homeless so she didn't tell anyone that she doesn't have money or that she is living in the streets. “This is something that I lived with, with a secret, for a long time. I didn’t tell anybody that my mother was living on the street and in fact that I was homeless from time to time. It was a source of shame.” She feels very embarrassed and humiliated.

On page 131 "He kept announcing over and over again that he was our uncle Stanley, and he wouldn't stop hugging me and kissing me, as though I was someone he truly loved and hadn't seen in ages." this is an example of how he never hear of uncle Stanley and when he showed up and told her may times that he was her uncle she felt a little weird because he kept on hugging her and kissing her and she feels like he was a stranger. and he can smell the alcohol on his breath so you can tell that he has some mental health problems going on.

On page 42 "Don't make fun of me or my children!" mom yelled. "Some babies are premature. Mine were all post-mature. That's why they're so smart. Their brains had longer to develop." this is an example of how her kids are smarter because they were born way earlier than everyone else. She is saying that her kids are different and her kids just because they are born way earlier and that their brains are way more developed than other people's brains.

Poor, this relates to my topic because when people think that Jeannette is poor that will make her feel bad about her self and that she will be mad that she doesn't have some things that other people have. She will start feeling vary insecure about herself. She started saving up money so Lori and her can leave there parents house for the rest of there lives and when they grew up they started to do that but there parent had to follow them around and Lori and Jeannette were not happy with them.

positive, the reason for that is because her dad is always telling her that he is going to build a glass castle and she kept on believing that it will happen and she started to loose that positive when she got older and she knew hat her father was not able to keep her promise. But she kept being positive about it and tell her self that he will do it some day. She overcame it by getting a job and starting to save and get a boyfriend that can provide for her instead of what dad did witch is all talk but no do.
