Final Blog of 1st quarter

In my blogs I tend to focus on the conflicts in a book and how it affects the plot and actions of the character. I have an interest of the reactions and thoughts of the characters. Being completely honest, I think that the book blogging experience is quite tedious. I don't feel like it helps me, but I am the kind of reader that likes to read a book without any interruptions

For next quarter, I would like to go into more detail in my blogs, and spend some more time on them. Also, I should pick different aspects to go into detail about. I would like to accomplish the feeling that I made some very good inferences and observations. I'm not very interested in blogging, but hopefully by the end of the year, I will enjoy it more. To get more involved, I would like to do a blog every other week because I feel like it would benefit how detailed my blogs are, and I would have more to contribute to the blog.

The Glass Castle Final Review

Jeanette only finds happiness when she is away from home. After she left her house and moved to New York, she was finally enjoying herself. I felt bad because when her parents eventually moved, they were getting in the way of her life and you could tell that he was getting angry and annoyed. Despite that she decided to help them because they're family. I would rate this book a 9 out of 10 because it was really enjoyable, without being thrilling. Also, it was the kind of book that was really interesting, but didn't really pull you in most of the time. Otherwise, the book was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone over 10.

Jeanette has been suffering a lot lately because of all the teasing she is experiencing. Although teir town is poor, they are one of the poorest families in that town. People call her skeleton because she is so skinny, which isn't right because she doesn't have the option to eat. She has been standing up for herself though. Her and her brother fought off a whole group of guys together which made them realize that they need to stick together because they will always be there for each other. Jeanette has been very upset with Welch, Texas.

The Glass Castle

It seems as though their father has started to get out of control. Although he never really filtered what he said, he has gotten even worse. He calls out in church, and says whatever he thinks is right, without considering that it will ruin the service. On Christmas, they finally got a tree for only a dollar. After decorating it and celebrating Christmas, the father lights the tree on fire, disappointing everyone. Before, he was somewhat tolerable, but he has started going crazy beyond control.

The Glass Castle

You can tell that the family is really starting to fall apart. For example, the father has lately been spending his money on alcohol and the kids are starting to be really hungry. Also, he is cheating on his wife with his kids around, they're just too young to fully understand what was going on. When the boy was reading his comic book, he didn't even realize what was going on. Also, their mom has to hide her money so she can buy art supplies. The parents no longer work together as a team, but it's almost as if they're enemies. It got to the point where the father would have to go with the mom to get her paycheck because he didn't trust her. I'm predicting that they almost get a divorce at some point in this book.
