"You're ashamed of us?" (Walls, 181)

This quote was chosen because it shows how Lori, the eldest, felt when Rex said he was ashamed of them for not caring that Erma passed. Erma had treated the children, and Rex, horribly so Lori was very glad the women was gone. It also shows some hurt and disbelief from her, that their father felt the need to be ashamed of his children yet not like how they're ashamed of him being their father. It's hyprictital to her.

"Mom believed that children shouldnt be burdened with a lot of rules and restrictions." (Walls, 59)

The reason this quote is important is because it explains in just a sentence how Rose Mary feels about the childrens lives. Rose Mary (and Rex) doesnt care how the children are brought up, not bothering to put rules and restrictions on them to, basically, see how they would be because of that. The parents didnt pay any attention or care about the children, letting them roam around freely. They were awful parents.

The Walls family must've had serious issues with their health considering they never went to the doctors or dentist or optomertrist (thats until Lori finally got glasses). Thats a major social issue because maybe they didnt have the money or insurance, or perhaps they just didnt see the point in going. This is a common issue.

The Walls family were suffering on the poor side. They had nothing to a certian extent, which grew hard for them all. They were deemed basically as the poor family with nothing. Another issue is how Rex is a severe alcoholic, how he wastes their money away just for another drink that'll soon enough kill him and destroy the family more.

A social issue for this area can show the down fall in the childrens mentality with others. For Jeannette and Brian, they wanted to murder children as their mindsets got ruined from the constant bullying and abusive home they lived in. As for Lori, she found a way to escapse in her mind and books from the horrible life they had to live in. She wanted anything other then her current life, so she took matters into reading fiction as a way to escape.
