None of us kids did. Mom and Dad refused to let us. They couldn't afford expensive presents and they didn't want us to think we weren't as good as the other kids." (39)

Connection - This connects to non-conformity as its showing that with their parents help they were told the truth about everything and they knew what was happening as other kids are outside the glasses and their oblivious to everything.

Connection- This photo connects to The Glass Castle is the one part where Jeannette accidently set the hotel on fire and this connects with chaos and order as on second before she went to bed it was fine and peaceful but she woke up in chaos as fire was everywhere and the firefighters were coming and everyone was panicking. ]]> 2019-05-15 16:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/360763/ohgv551mzq8a/wish/360446056 360763 https://padlet.com/360763/ohgv551mzq8a/wish/360447042 " Have I ever let you down?'Dad asked. Id heard that question at least 200 times, and id always answered it the way he wanted me to. because I thought it was my faith in dad that kept him going all those years"(210)

Connection -  Jeannette always forgave her dad after he did the worst to the family. The picture relates to Jeanette's rock collection and when her dad got her a new rock because she had to leave her collection behind. ]]> 2019-05-15 16:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/360763/ohgv551mzq8a/wish/360447042 3465871 https://padlet.com/360763/ohgv551mzq8a/wish/360448165 "In my head. Dad was perfect, although he did have what mom called a little drinking situation"(23)

Connection - In the book Glass Castle Jeannette's dad drinks a lot and gets violent and no matter what he does Jeannette always forgives him. ]]> 2019-05-15 16:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/360763/ohgv551mzq8a/wish/360448165 3465871 https://padlet.com/360763/ohgv551mzq8a/wish/360449182 "If you dont wanna sink, you better figure out how to swim"(66)

Connection - The mom connects to self-sufficiency as she was painting trying to make money on her own without the fathers and her parents help. The quote connects to this as you have to learn things by yourself because your not going to always have someone by your side at all times.]]> 2019-05-15 17:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/360763/ohgv551mzq8a/wish/360449182 3465871 https://padlet.com/360763/ohgv551mzq8a/wish/360449279 "When Dad wasn’t telling us about all the amazing things he had already done, he was telling us about the wondrous things he was going to do. Like build the Glass Castle. All of Dad’s engineering skills and mathematical genius were coming together in one special project: a great big house he was going to build for us in the desert."(25)

Connection - This photo connects with the book as the bottom shack it what they lived in which was reality as the dad had his fantasy that he gave his children about how he was going to build them this beautiful house for them to live in.]]> 2019-05-15 17:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/360763/ohgv551mzq8a/wish/360449279
