              As of today I am reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, this book is very good but it has its twists. The dad is not the nicest or happiest person in the book, he is abusive, mean and in my opinion has some mental issues, but he also has this dream of building a glass castle in the middle of the desert. In order to build this glass castle the family needs to "strike it rich" by getting gold, that is why they are on this big adventure. The Walls family has left their house, friends and most of their belongings to find gold; they are now living in their car and on a desert using only scratchy blankets and a can of money to survive. I believe that this book would tie into what we are learning in class, about a “good” person, the dad is a “good” person on the inside but he doesn’t show it. Inside he really cares about his family but he doesn’t really show it. Everything he does is for his family, it’s proven by the blue prints for the Glass Castle, and he does not want his family to live like they have been so he has created a Glass Castle blueprint.
