The glass castle by Bradley Irving https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn A fight to survive en-us 2019-10-09 16:42:25 UTC 2025-09-29 17:27:38 UTC hello@padlet.com "I lived in a world that at any moment could erupt into fire. It was the sort of knowledge that kept you on your toes." 360436 https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396730459       This quote represents how Jeannette and her siblings would constantly live in absolute disorder. There was never a moment where something was not going wrong. The picture is a painting of chaos, this relates to her mother's obsession with painting and how that would create chaos.]]> 2019-10-11 15:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396730459 “If you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim” 360436 https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396750112      The picture and the quote are from when Rex has Jeannette swim in the hot spring and almost drown every time. This is a perfect example of self-sufficiency as Jeannette had to learn to swim without the help of her father, she had to swim to safety or she would have to drown.]]> 2019-10-11 15:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396750112 “You should never hate anyone, even your worst enemies. Everyone has something good about them. You have to find the redeeming quality and love the person for that.” 360436 https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396754978   The picture of Hitler with a dog is related to when Rose Mary said that Brian must have compassion and acceptance for the faults of others by appreciating whats good about them. ]]> 2019-10-11 15:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396754978 “Things usually work out in the end.""What if they don't?""That just means you haven't come to the end yet.” 360436 https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396758834 The quote is representative of Jeannette's unending forgiveness for her father and his repeated failings as a father and the many times he has ruined a good thing. The alcohol is the addiction that Rex suffers the whole novel as well as what causes many of the family's woes.  ]]> 2019-10-11 15:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396758834 "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 garbage." 360436 https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396762153   The glass castle was the dream that had kept Jeannette going throughout her life and what held her trust in her father together. When she and Brian see it being filled with garbage it becomes the "nail in the coffin", the promise of a perfect future becomes trash.]]> 2019-10-11 16:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396762153 “Years from now, when all the junk they got is broken and long forgotten, you'll still have your stars.” 360436 https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396764606   The Christmas night when Rex pulls all of the kids out and has them pick stars to be their presents is a concrete example of the love he has for his kids even if he is not able to show it properly. He shows his unending love by giving them stars that will never fade away from their lives.]]> 2019-10-11 16:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/360436/e1q12h9txnvn/wish/396764606
