week 4
Week 4 in writing, and I still feel like I suck at it! I can talk someone's ear off, but I guess I cant write it! This week, we had to write another 4 page essay. I am not doing to well with it! I cant seem to get out of my own head! I see 4 pages, and it seems to mess with me. I know it not that many pages, nit still. I fall short of 4 pages every time, and I cant seem to get more info in, without feeling like I am just putting fillers. So lets hope I can get over this, since I only have 2 more weeks! AHHHHH!!!! We got to write about, what we thought the Glass Castle, meant to Jeannette Walls and her family. I feel, it was her last hope, what kept her going though all the horrible things she suffered. She could only hold on to it, for so long. Once she was old enough to understand want she was going though, she got out.

I also thought that the glass castle was Rex's and Jeanette's hope and dream of a better life for their family. I agree that Jeannette held onto the hope throughout her childhood but I also thought think that she continued to seek out the dream as an adult. I think she managed to build a very successful life for herself despite her upbringing and her father's inability to build the glass castle.
ReplyDeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that you say it was their "last hope." That sounds to me like desperation, which is not exactly a positive thing.
And I definitely think you can do it! Take it slowly. You have to tell the reader so much to get her to understand what is happening in the book and in your paper. The intro should ease the reader into the situation. Explain what the book is about in general and what the glass castle actually is. Then make your claim. I think you rush through those things.
