You make me ashamed. Do you hear me? Ashamed!... You’re ashamed of us?” 
- This image best represents the time, Rex says he’s ashamed of his kids.This is a perfect example of irony, because the truth is that th kids are ashamed of their own father. Since he’s the city drunk, can’t get a job, and always ask for money for cigarettes and beer.  In where the kids from school bullies them for their parents behavior. Which is ironic for Rex to say this to them, when he doesn’t know what actually goes on in his kids lives because of his attitudes.]]> 2018-10-01 19:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287826657 3416551 https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287826939 - "We'd make friends with them, but not close friends, because we knew we'd be moving on sooner to later."
- The picture represents the times the Walls family lived in their car at times and did the "skedaddle" at random times. This is an example of non-conformity because the Walls family was always on the move/running away, and sometimes the family lived outside or inside their car. They couldn't stay in one place, make friends, have a home, like any ordinary family/life. Which is pretty much chaos and order in the book. ]]> 2018-10-01 19:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287826939 3416551 https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287827078 - "I cooked myself some hotdogs. I was hungry, Mom was at work on a painting, and no one else was there to fix them for me."  
-  This picture of a young girl cooking is reflective to the time Jeannette, was cooking hot dogs by herself with no adult supervision at the age of three. This is an example of self-sufficiency because this happen just after Jeannette came home from the hospital, where she got burned the first time cooking for herself. But since the lack of parenting-hood  around the environment she lived in, she had no choice but to cooked again for herself. Which shows a great deal of self-sufficiency, she had to go through at a very young age on her life. ]]> 2018-10-01 19:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287827078 3416551 https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287827212 - "He known I had a soft spot for him the way no one else in the family did, and he was taking advantage of it."
- The picture of one guy smoking and the other drinking are reflective to Rex's bad habits. This is a perfect example of Jeannette always forgiving her father for the things he did when they had money, and he just spent it recklessly. Rex would just go off drinking and not come home for days. But after all of this, Jeannette finds a way to forgive him, for his awful actions that caused her and her family intense misery. ]]> 2018-10-01 19:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287827212 3416551 https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287827341 - “I swear, honey, there are times when I think you’re the only one around who still has faith in me,” “I don’t know what I’d do if you ever lost it.” "I told him that I would never lose faith in him. And I promised myself I never would."
- I chose this picture and quote because both of these connect to Rex and Jeannette, unconditional love for each other. For how Jeannette always love her father even when his actions brought disappoitment and broken promises to her and her family. Later on in the book, she noticed the love she had for him when she finally came to age. Jeannette needed to get away from him to understand why he was the person he was and acted. To realized the strong and lasting love she had for him. And the same love she gave him, she got it in return from him "Rex Walls style". ]]> 2018-10-01 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287827341 3416551 https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287827475 - “At times I felt like I was failing Maureen, like I wasn’t keeping my promise that I’d protect her–the promise I’d made to her when I held her on the way home from the hospital after she’d been born. I couldn’t get her what she needed most–hot baths, a warm bed, steaming bowls of Cream of Wheat before school in the morning–but I tried to do little things."
- The image signifies that Jeannette never kept her promise to Maureen that she made when she was a baby. This is a good example of broken promises because Jeannette failed to keep hers'. She agree to bring Maureen to NYC, but didn't do anything to help her out and settle in the life she doesn't know about. Which made Maureen turn a different path than the others. Which is why, Jeannette is sorry about and wished she could've change it and help out more. ]]> 2018-10-01 19:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/3416551/h0pu8o3i96aa/wish/287827475
