The children rarely got meals, because that wasn't a huge priority on both of the parent's lists.This Picture Depicts Neglect. A child feels poor emotions when faced with Child neglection. The Walls kids faced extreme neglection, although, it got to a point where they were so used to it that they didn't feel awful about it. 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287140317 2018-09-28 20:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287140317 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287824376 2018-10-01 19:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287824376 "We'd make friends with them, but not close friends, because we knew we'd be moving on sooner or later." 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287828226 2018-10-01 19:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287828226 This quote shows that the Walls family was always moving around. It was quite chaotic, and they never got the chance to just settle down, chill, and have proper order in life. This map shows how often the Walls family moved. The family always moved around due to the chaotic fact that Rex thought their family was being hunted down by the government. 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287828430 2018-10-01 19:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287828430 Chaos And Order 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287828886 2018-10-01 19:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287828886 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287829917 2018-10-01 19:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287829917 Broken Promises 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287834045 2018-10-01 19:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287834045 "We'd stopped talking about the Glass Castle once the foundation we'd dug was filled up with garbage." 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287834479 2018-10-01 19:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287834479 This quote is from the part in the book when they actually start digging the foundation to build Rex's fantasized 'Glass Castle,' but they start dreaming about it because the whole starts filling up with their garbage. Throughout the whole book, Rex promised his kids they were heading somewhere better, and he made up his fake plan for making 'The Glass Castle' This Photo is a picture of a nice and clean glass house. This would be a dream to live in, too bad that dream was only fake for the Walls family. 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287835296 2018-10-01 19:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287835296 Coming Of Age 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287837342 2018-10-01 19:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287837342 "I began going to just about every extracurricular event at the school, and the kids who shunned mebefore now accepted me and even sought me out" 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287839284 2018-10-01 19:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287839284 This quote was when Jeannette started getting more involved in her school, and from that she became more accepted. She used to be shunned for being gross, smelly, poor, and weird. When the other kids realized that she was a great, they liked her much more. This photo is a great representation of acceptance. Like this photo, Jeannette was lifted up from the lower side of things. Jeannette was on the bottom side of the social pyramid, and when she got involved in school stuff, like the Maroon Wave, she was raised up by the other kids to a higher level on the social pyramid. It was a big step in Jeannette's life when she got this change, because it also led her to what she wanted to do in her future. 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287839599 2018-10-01 19:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287839599 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287842280 2018-10-01 19:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287842280 Fantasy Vs Reality 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287843801 2018-10-01 19:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287843801 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287844745 2018-10-01 19:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287844745 This quote shows how Rose Mary thought she was such a great artist, and fantasizes that she is better than so many and that she will become famous. But in the reality, she can hardly even support herself as an artist, and with the horrible way she is living her life, she won't even be able to become a world-famous artist. This Photo shows how different our fantasies may be from our realities. We may think something is perfect or will be, when it might be the opposite in reality. Just like how Rose Mary thought she was going to become a famous and great artist, when really she would never turn out to be. 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287845921 2018-10-01 19:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287845921 "I'll bet there aren't any other artists living in Welch, Iwon't have any competition.

They try to make the best out of every situation with each other, and that is an example of unconditional love. This quote is at the time when they live in Las Vegas, and Rex had to take the kids to the casinos because of his gambling habits. The kids just played together to fill their time The kids loved each other and loved playing together. This photo also shows that same example of showing unconditional love. The Walls kids were each other's friends. As the Walls family moved from place to place, the kids didn't have enough time to make great friends, so the kids became eachother's best friends, and showed love for one another. 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287854506 2018-10-01 20:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287854506 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287856735 2018-10-01 20:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287856735 "During the day, we went to the casinos,where Dad said he had a sure­fire system for beating the house. Brian and I played hide­-and-­seek-among the clicking slot machines, checking the trays for overlooked quarters, while Dad was winning money at the blackjack table." 413409 https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287858181 2018-10-01 20:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/413409/sri0fg2ewlme/wish/287858181
