In the novel, Rex had promised Jeannette to stop drinking. Unfortunately, he was upset and was missing for three days. As he returns home drunk, Jeannette reveals, "after all he'd put himself through, I couldn't believe Dad had gone back to the booze". This illustrates how disappointed Jeannette was after she hoped her father would truly stop drinking.
I chose this picture because it describes how Jeannette must've felt when she saw Rex drinking.

As a kid, Lori always understood the truth about her parents. In a scene, she questioned Jeannette about how many places they have lived. Jeannette acknowledges that, "We counted eleven places we had lived, then we lost track."  This illustrates how the family was always on the move, which is not healthy for a child considering that they need stability. Constantly moving creates chaos in a kid's life since they never had one home, always go to different schools,  and would struggle socially. However, as Jeannette, Brian, and Lori became adults, they were able to have order and control in their own lives. The author emphasizes that, "He said he'd allow Dad to stay, but Dad had to follow some rules, the first being that he stop drinking as long as he was there." She described what Brian had done to Rex once he was the owner of the house. This creates a sense of order for Brian seeing that he is old enough to control situations that are in his hands.
I Chose this picture because it shows how their life was as kids versus when they were older. The little frame in the white room shows how they're able to contain chaos in their life.

Throughout the whole book, Lori, Brian and Jeannette were put through so much, ranging from homelessness to sexual assault. The lifestyle they had was due to their parent's inability to care for and nurture their kids. Surprisingly, Jeannette seemed to forgive Rex for his actions, but the others did not. Jeannette states," But despite all the hell-raising and destruction and chaos he had created in our lives, I could not imagine what my life would be like...without him in it."    To go further in depth, this depicts how Jeannette forgave her father after all he put her through. She was able to forgive him because she knew he loved her in his own way and was able to talk like that. Unfortunately, Lori and Brian were never able to forgave him considering he still makes remarks of how they could have been better parents, and how Lori kicked them out.
I added this photo because it describes the relationship between Jeannette and Rex which had to due with the fact that she forgave him. She knew he loved her, and that love was enough for her to forgive him. This picture also demonstrates how they were always in their own world discovering things in the wild.

The mother was incredible selfish, and spending money all on herself; this resulted in the kids struggling to find a way to make it through the week. Jeannette described how "month after month, the money would disappear before the next paycheck arrived, and once more I'd find myself rooting in the garbage at school for food." This shows how Jeannette and her siblings would have to look for food to survive. This relates to the theme because poverty is one of the biggest obstacle they had to overcome.
I chose this photo because it shows a little girl looking through trash, which is what Jeannette and her siblings were forced to do. After all they endured, they still proceeded to fight through the struggle.

Rex asked Jeannette for money, so he could buy beer. Jeannette made sure he paid it back, but she had to work for it in a way a twelve-year-old shouldn't. Jeannette states,"'Dad, that creep attacked me when we were upstairs.' 'I'm sure he just pawed you some,' Dad said as we pulled out of the parking lot. 'I knew you could handle yourself.'" This eludes how she felt uncomfortable with a grown man alone. However, instead of protecting her, Rex forgot about it and left it as is for the sake of money.
I chose this photo because it shows the scene when Jeannette felt uncomfortable with a grown man.

Rex had always struggled with being alcoholic but it affected the whole family just as much. The mom would acknowledge that,"Dad pulled out a bottle of what Mom called ' the hard stuff'...Dad turned into an angry-eyed stranger who threw around furniture and threatened to beat up mom." This established how Rex is emotionally damaging his kids considering how they see him being an angry, and aggressive, drunk. This correlates with the theme seeing as him being aggressive gives the kids a different perspective of how the dad looks.
I chose this picture because it shows a man turning his back, which Rex seems to do whenever he drinks. Every time he drinks it seems to disappoint the kids pushing them away further and further.
