This city  represents how much Jeannette and her siblings all became successful in different ways. New York gave each of them a fresh new start.  Jeannette , Lori, and Brian made something of themselves without depending on their parents for  help.They worked their butts off to make sure they don't end up the same way as their parents. On page 240, Rex told Jeannette before she left to New York City. "Honey, life in New York may not be as good as you think it's going to be."  And Jeannette response to him was, " I can handle it." ]]> 2019-03-07 20:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliaramirez853/duplt4v45tlx/wish/339074106 ceciliaramirez853 https://padlet.com/ceciliaramirez853/duplt4v45tlx/wish/339077109 This is a picture of an alcoholic, and it represents Rex's drinking problem.

After he'd put himself through, I couldn't believe Dad had gone back to the booze."  Rex broken his promise to Jeannette that he was going to stop drinking. ]]> 2019-03-07 20:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliaramirez853/duplt4v45tlx/wish/339077109 ceciliaramirez853 https://padlet.com/ceciliaramirez853/duplt4v45tlx/wish/339077603 This picture of the "Glass Castle" that Jeannette's father promised her that one day she will be living in. In Rex mind, he felt  he can pretty much do anything. All he needs is some motivations from his family. Rex can always count on Jeannette' s  help on the Glass Castle, but that's when she was a little girl. On page 25, " All we had to do was find gold, Dad said, and we were on the verge of that. Once he finished the Prospector and we struck it rich, he'd start work on our Glass Castle. " But in reality, Jeannette never lived got to live in a glass castle, cause she knew that her father wasn't mentality or physical cable enough to finish the Glass Castle. ]]> 2019-03-07 20:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliaramirez853/duplt4v45tlx/wish/339077603 ceciliaramirez853 https://padlet.com/ceciliaramirez853/duplt4v45tlx/wish/339078140 This is a  picture of a  field in Virginia. The Virginia field represents Jeannette's  new life. Jeannette is now in that part of her life that she has dream since she was a little girl. Obviously, there is no glass castle but it's something even better. She is now come of age that she no longer rely on other people for help. Despite of Jennette and her siblings background, they still made something of themselves.  On page 250,  "I wanted to let the world know that no one had a perfect life, that even the people who seemed to have it all had their secrets."

This picture of the desert is reflective to the time when they first place they did their ‘skedaddle' in the memoir. Rex and Rose Mary just didn't enjoy following society rules. They prefer doing their own thing.  They taught their children in a young age to not care what other people think about themselves.  On page 103-104 Jeannette writes, " Mom and Dad liked to  make a big point about never surrendering to fear or to prejudice or to the narrow-minded conformist sticks-in-the-mud who tried  to tell everyone else what was proper." ]]> 2019-03-07 20:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ceciliaramirez853/duplt4v45tlx/wish/339078673 ceciliaramirez853 https://padlet.com/ceciliaramirez853/duplt4v45tlx/wish/339078779 This is a picture of a father and daughter hugging each other.
