Glass Castle




Jeannette seams to be mature for her age. At three, unsupervised, she was making hot dogs on a stove. Then again she lived in a trailer park and her parents were not the most civilized people but she could take care of herself at three. This shows me that since she didn’t have the most structured parents that had a plan for her and that they were living day by day. Since she wasn’t always taken care of by her parents, she had to learn to take care of her self. Of course sine she’s a three year old she eventually gets her dress caught on fire and gets badly burned.
When at the hospital she enjoys her life stuck in a bed with three meals a day and a TV more than her life in the trailer park. When one of the nurses is chewing something for Jeannette asks what it is and finds out what chewing gum is. I don’t know if this means she is sheltered or if she is just young and eventually found out what it was. In the end, her dad comes and breaks her out of the hospital and they pack up at the trailer park and move on to the next town.
