This picture relates back to the story, because at the end of the book during Rex's final days of his life when he shared his life with Jeannette, she started to accept the fact that even though he wasn't the best dad he did truly love her and wanted to give her everything at best.
More towards the end of the story Rose Mary shares, "Your father is who he is," Mom said. "It's a little late in the game to try to reform him now. Humor the man."
The quote relates back to the picture and to the theme, because even though Jeannette had a grudge against her dad, her mom told her nothing was going to change and to hear them out and still visit them.]]> 2022-12-05 19:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/370832/ddf2fffrfanza3ut/wish/2409679083 370832 https://padlet.com/370832/ddf2fffrfanza3ut/wish/2411212997 Theme: The idea of someone loving you so much that they will do any means necessary to protect and make sure you are ok.

This picture relates back to the story, because Rex had many promises to the kids that he never actually fulfilled. 
Jeannette states how the place of the supposed Glass Castle was slowly disappearing, "But he never got around to do that, either, and and as Brian and I watched, the hole for the Glass Castle's foundation slowly filled with garbage."
