Can’t believe we are already in week 3, we are half way done!  I have discovered I am not huge fan of on-line classes, or at least the 6 week kind, maybe I need to try the full 12 week kind. But no worries, I am tucking along just fine, I hope :/

This week in class, we had to write about the book we are reading called, the glass castle. This book is very interesting. I personally love reading books about people, I can’t really get into the "fake stories". I am only about half way through the book, but so far I am really enjoying it. It has many different themes in it.
 I find that neglect is a big role in it so far. The fact that, right away you are told about how Ms. Walls, was only 3 years old, when she burned herself making hot dogs on the stove is so unbelievable.
The next thing theme is poverty, how the move from town to town overnight to get away from the bill collector's. That they don't bath, or have good clean clothes or even food.
This book, so far has taught me so far, to be glad for what I have and ever had. As I am sure, most of us out there thought now and again that we could have more.

  1. Becky,

    I think we're official halfway through the course! I really enjoyed reading The Glass Castle as well. I found it so interesting and I loved that it is a true story! Even though the book was sad and disturbing at times, the ending was powerful. It goes to show anyone can really do anything if they set their minds to it.

  2. Becky,
    I found out in college that I could not take online courses! This one is way too fast as well. Do you think it would be better in a 12 week format? Online or face to face? I am going to be making recommendations at the end of the course.
