But as we walked and walked we noticed that the platform was very badly misshaped and that there were several different kinds of big boulders. For example there was fire crack rock which was used to make fires but remind you this was back when the Indians were on earth and they didn’t have a light to make fire so they had to use rocks.

    In her memoir, The Glass Castle, Jeannette Walls reflects on her unstable, chaotic, poverty-stricken upbringing at the hands of her profoundly dysfunctional parents. Constantly getting into trouble, being short on food and money, the Walls family frequently tried to escape their issues by moving from one city to the next, as her father Rex refers to it -- “skedaddling”.

Some people may consider them to be a “hoodlum”, gang member or even a drug dealer just because they dress like it. Not only do they judge you off how he or she dresses but also the community they live in and their surroundings.
