    In the excerpt from Jeannette Wall's autobiographical memoir, The Glass Castle, I noticed many strategies that she used while developing her story line. First, I realize that she uses very little humor due to the circumstances that she and her family are going through at the time, however, I did notice one example. This was when Jeannette's mother put mayonnaise in her hair before a school photograph and forgot to wash it out which made her hair more stiff, messy, and tangled than usual. Next, Jeannette uses many details throughout her writing to portray the struggles and hardships that her family is having to deal with, including money issues and her father's drinking problem.

    The unconventional memoir The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls was a thrilling story, filled with dysfunctional childhood experiences to heart warming family moments and life decisions. Brie Larson who plays Jeanette, does great at capturing the uneasiness and instability of Jeanette in her professional career, and does a good job at encapsulating Jeanette's shaky character. Rex Walls is an important character, and one who would be hard to portray. Woody Harrelson was an amazing choice for the role, as he has proven again his incredible depth of acting ability, and in this movie is able to portray an unstable and unorthodox character. Of course in every book turned movie, there will be flaws, it’s inevitable.

    The Glass Castle written by Jeannette Walls is a memoir that describes her abnormal if not completely insane upbringing. The story is one that the reader would assume be a fiction, that no parents are that lacking in their authority or so cavalier as to not care if their elementary aged children roam the streets of Phoenix in the dead of night, but the emotion and depth that is felt by each written word can not be written by a person who had not lived through the events that take place. Throughout the novel Jeannette comes to realize that what she loved about her parents as a child would both terrify and annoy her only years later, and while she tries hard to bring her family together somethings can never be fully rectified, but she can prosper nonetheless.
