Jeannette is a tough little girl and her mindset is that Everything she goes through is a lesson. She doesn’t realize that her mother is selfish because of her innocence as child. You are lead and nurtured by your parents, even if you’re parents are total maniacs.  ]]> 2019-10-11 03:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396510954 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396521619 2019-10-11 04:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396521619 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396522111 This fire is a visual on how Jeannette’s favorite dress was on fire and what she was looking at in shock. Personally I would understand Jeannette. When I was about 6 years old I almost lit my house on fire. I was in the bathroom, there was a candle on top of the sink, I grabbed a piece of toilet paper, it caught on fire. But the  flames were getting closer to my small hand, I didn’t want to throw it in the toilet because I thought it was going to catch on fire. So I threw it in the trash can that was made out of plastic. My mom was furious but glad I was okay. ]]> 2019-10-11 04:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396522111 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396528156 “It was a disgusting low-class habit, and the nurse should have consulted her before encouraging... She said she was going to give that women a piece of her mind, be golly. “After all,” Mom said “I am your mother, and I should have a say in how you are raised.”

“Brian yanked the covers back. Lying on the mattress next to Mom was one of these huge family- sized Hershey chocolate bars, the shiny silver wrapper pulled back and torn away. She’d already eaten half of it. Mom started crying. “I can’t help it,” she sobbed. “I’m azufre addict, just like your father is an alcoholic.”

Rose Mary after letting her 3 year old stand next to a gas stove and get burned she really has the balls to say that. A real mother has to take care of her children and care for them. They shouldn’t be raising themselves. That’s what a mother is for.]]> 2019-10-11 05:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396528156 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396528560 2019-10-11 05:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396528560 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396739328 “All we had to do a as 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.” ]]> 2019-10-11 15:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396739328 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396743236 2019-10-11 15:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396743236 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396754890 “But since we couldn’t afford to pay the towns trash- collections fee, our garbage was really piling up. One day Dad told us to dump it in the hole. “But it’s for the Glass castle” I said “Its a temporary measure.” Dad said 

Rex always told her kids that he was looking for gold and as little kids they believed it and went along. But as they got older they saw that finding gold wasn’t what Rex was trying to do. He couldn’t even keep a steady job. ]]> 2019-10-11 15:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396754890 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396760146 “We laughed about all the kids who believed in the Santa myth and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch of cheap plastic toys. “ years from now, when all the junk they got is broken and long forgotten,” Dad said, “you’ll still have your stars.” ]]> 2019-10-11 15:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396760146 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396761148 2019-10-11 16:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396761148 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396761954 Jeannette loved her star because she would always have it no matter what. But Rex felt terrible for not being able to provide gifts for his children because they didn’t have enough money to even eat full meals. ]]> 2019-10-11 16:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396761954 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396776732 “Mom said I’m a mature for my age,” I told them and she lets me cook for myself a lot. When Jeannette was in the the kitchen boiling hotdogs, her mom wasn’t even supervising her. Jeannette thinks that she was mature for her and self Suficiente and she was but she never considered her mother being lazy. Even if Jeannette was growing up faster than other kids her age. ]]> 2019-10-11 16:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396776732 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396777290 2019-10-11 16:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396777290 350993 https://padlet.com/350993/k81e9kx1gb0y/wish/396783889 “Where are we going, Dad I asked.” 
Wherever we end up.” He said
The wells family are nomadic and Rex thinks that the FBI is after him and his family so he rather just hit the road and let the rosas lead him whenever. Hoping to find gold and become rich. At the beginning of the book Rex just stopped in the middle of deseret and told the kids to look up at the stars as they fall asleep. Rex and Rose don not like to be told what to do.
