The Glass Castle Padlet Test by Andrew Olsen https://padlet.com/364392/z2i4t5ntna2krjv9 Andrew Olsen Period 4 en-us 2022-12-05 19:26:25 UTC 2025-10-30 06:01:55 UTC hello@padlet.com 364392 https://padlet.com/364392/z2i4t5ntna2krjv9/wish/2409696127 2022-12-05 19:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/364392/z2i4t5ntna2krjv9/wish/2409696127 Chaos and Order 364392 https://padlet.com/364392/z2i4t5ntna2krjv9/wish/2411190839 The picture above is representing a room that was once messy and then got picked up to a higher standard.  When Jeannette emphasized “A wind picked up, rattling the windows, and the candle flames suddenly shifted, dancing along the border between turbulence and order.”  Previously in the story Jeannette's entire life was built on chaos never knowing if she would eat that night, if some random homeless was going to sexually assault her, or even if she would have her parents with her the next morning. Jeannette never had a set ordered life she was always in the middle of chaos and never knew what to expect the next day.]]> 2022-12-06 19:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/364392/z2i4t5ntna2krjv9/wish/2411190839 Acceptance 364392 https://padlet.com/364392/z2i4t5ntna2krjv9/wish/2411191278 I chose this picture because it shows a group of people accepting and welcoming you in. Showing that Jeannette finally accepted who rex was. When Rex was on the hospital bed hooked up to machines Jeannette said  to Lori "I knew dad would have hated that, spending his final moments in a hospital hooked up to machines."  reminiscing about the time he took her out of the hospital the Rex Walls-style.  Jeannette also says to Lori that 
"He'd wanted to be out in the wild somewhere." which is her finally accepting that he is going to pass away and letting him go the way he would want to be.

"I did, Dad," I said "And you loved me."

"Now, that's the God's honest truth." Dad chuckled. "We had some times, didn't we?"

"We did."

it seems like she forgave him for not being the best parent around and all of his mistakes he made. Jeannette finally realized that she loved Rex even if he was not always there she forgave him for the lack of parenting he gave.

Like build the Glass Castle"  which later in the story really came out as a broken promise with Rex passing away before he was able to keep his promise in building a beautiful glass castle for his family.  Throughout the book Rex would make many promises to his family but would never accomplish any of them always letting his family down.]]> 2022-12-07 16:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/364392/z2i4t5ntna2krjv9/wish/2412822845
