How do economic conditions determine the characters' lives?

-In the Glass Castle the Wall's Family lives in a unstable condition.Their family is always on the run due to Rex not being financaly stable.

How are class differences presented in the work? Are the characters aware or unaware of the economic and social forces that affect their lives?

-The Wall's Family livies in extreme proverty.Me personaly I think that they are aware of the situation I even think that the kids are MORE aware of the situation that they are in.Overall the awarenes makes them want to look for a better oprutunite or life.I hope that made sense.

Does the work criticize class structure?

-Jeannette gives us a background of her growing up in proverty along with her family.The Wall's Family and her sibilings ended up finding ways to escape.The book explores the theme of family and surviving.

In the glass castle the quote "Once we lost our credit at the commissary.we quickly ran out of food."(page 67).In the quote what is happening is that Rex lost his job,Im geussing he was the one providing for the family.In this part of the book they had no money so they kinda basicly went poor.They would eat less.This quote stood out to me because its sad they are just children you know.

I havent had an a experince like this beffore.But overall , this chapter was sad because no child should ever.What kinda sucks is that kids and people acutaly go through this.If I were in this situation I would be devisated and I would try really hard to get a job or something for my family can eat.I hope that made sense.

I would be taking about poverty.In the Wall's Family poverty plays a big roll in this book.As we see Rex lost his job and they went with out money and food.Brian even broke into the neighboors house just to steall food.Everyone was just devistated.
