I was hungry, Mom was at work on a painting, and no one else was there to fix them for me." ]]> 2019-10-10 22:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396454541 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396455471 "Giving him that money pissed me off. I was mad at myself but even madder at Dad. He knew I had a soft spot for him the way no one else in the family did, and he was taking advantage of that." ]]> 2019-10-10 23:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396455471 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396456169 "I'd broken one of our unspoken rules: We were always supposed to pretend our life was one long and incredibly fun adventure." ]]> 2019-10-10 23:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396456169 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396456927 "Lying on the mattress next to mom was one of those huge family-sized Hershey chocolate bars, the shiny silver wrapper pulled back and torn away. She'd already eaten half of it." ]]> 2019-10-10 23:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396456927 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396457749 "He explained that he was going to hire a truck to cart the garbage to the dump at once. But he never got around to that,either, and as Brian and I watched, the hole for the Glass Castle's foundation slowly filled with trash." ]]> 2019-10-10 23:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396457749 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396459021 "So many people ask, 'How could you forgive your mother for the way you were raised?' It's really not forgiveness in my opinion. It's acceptance. She's never going to be the sort of mother who wants to take care of me." ]]> 2019-10-10 23:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396459021 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396462325 This picture of children cooking reflects the time when Jeannette was boiling some hot dogs because she was hungry and she catched on fire. This is an example of child neglect because she was left unsupervised at the age of three because her mother would much rather paint than feed her children. The quote shows that despite Jeannette being hospitalized for her burns, she was still left unsupervised while cooking. ]]> 2019-10-10 23:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396462325 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396466916 This picture of a person being controlled by someone else reflects Rex taking advantage of Jeannette's love and support for him whenever it is convenient and beneficial. The quote and image is an example of manipulation because Rex knew Jeannette would never say no and that she would always love him despite all the things he has done to her. ]]> 2019-10-11 00:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396466916 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396743138 This picture of a glass castle reflects the promise Rex made his family of building them a home of their own where they won't have to worry about food,warmth,toilets flushing,and clothing. The quote and the image are examples of broken promises because Rex would constantly promise his children a better life and he gave them hope that things would get better once he found gold and built the Glass Castle. Rex never fulfilled his promises and the kids were always being let down until they grew used it and it no longer fazed them. ]]> 2019-10-11 15:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396743138 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396753724 The image of the little girl refusing to share her dolls reflects Rose Mary always putting herself first and refusing to look after her children. The quote is an example of selfishness because Rose Mary knew her children were starving and that they ate whatever they could find even if it was from the trash but she still hid food from them and ate it all by herself. ]]> 2019-10-11 15:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396753724 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396760163 The image of the little girl walking in a field in the clouds that has butterflies and shooting stars is her fantasy while the picture of her walking in the grass is her reality. This reflects the fantasy the Walls children were told to live in by their parents so that they wouldn't come to terms with hos bad their situation was and why it was that way. The quote is an example fantasy vs. reality because Jeannette admits that she has been living her life as one long and incredibly fun adventure but that she is beginning to see ]]> 2019-10-11 15:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396760163 lesliecuellar4 https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396765639 Following the release of her memoir, Jeannette Walls was interviewed by the New York Times and in that interview she admits that she hasn't forgiven her mother for the way she was raised, instead she accepts the fact that her mother will never be someone who will take care of her. This is an example of acceptance because she no longer feels the need to hide her life story from people and she uses her life as a source of strength and motivation. She is now housing Rose Mary and looking after despite everything she put her siblings through. ]]> 2019-10-11 16:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lesliecuellar4/4gfqx0mb0onm/wish/396765639
