Lynda Barry in her work The Sanctuary of School, wrote about her life as a kid with a toxic family life where she relied on school to be a place she feels secure. She tried to escape from her toxic family by going to school; was the only way for her to relieve her mind. The school granted her freedom to draw and provided her a safe place to stay. Painting and drawing was the only activity that made her happy. By doing these activities were the only way to express herself. Therefore, if school was to cancel this activity, many children that are like Barry would have nothing to relieve and relied on.

By the end of the novel, she returns to where she started, at home with her aunt and brother, showing that discovery can help one to gain a greater perspective on what they had in the first

That all changed when she reached her late teens. She starts to dream about escaping the life their parents have forced her to live. Lori, who is the oldest child, and Jeannette devise a plan for them to escape to New York city. Lori will go first and get settled. Then Jeannette will join her so she can finish her senior year of high school and go to college in the city. They start to save money in a piggy bank and Brian even pitched in. They eventually both make it to New York and invited Brian to join them. Over time all four siblings live in New York together. Jeannette has become a successful journalist and author. All three of the oldest children are thriving. Their parents had decided to move into the city to be closer to their children. Soon after they did the youngest child Maureen had a breakdown from all the drugs she started doing. Her parents never kept her away from drugs or alcohol and said it was a phase. They said that she had to work it out herself. She eventually snapped and tried to stab her mother to death. She was put in jail and after she got out of she moved to California. Maureen’s breakdown caused everyone in the family separated for a few years. Months later Jeannette saw her mother picking through a dumpster and decided it was time to try and help her parents. She then arranged a meeting with her mother. She said, “I told Mom she was the snootiest squatter I’d ever met, and that made her laugh. We sat down on the living room couch. I had something I wanted to discuss with her. I now had a good job, I said, and was in the position to her her and Dad. I wanted to buy them something that would improve their lives. It could be a small car. It could be the down payment on a house in an inexpensive neighborhood. “We don’t need anything,” Mom said. “We’re fine.” She put down her teacup. “It’s you I’m worried about” “You’re worried about me?”

I admire how strong and fearless Jeannette is and was as a child. Her earliest memory at three years old is making hot dogs and catching on fire. Even though she screamed out of fear, like any three-year-old would, when she was told she’d be alright she responded “I know…but if I’m not, that’s okay, too”. It is baffling to me for a three-year-old child to be alright with not being physically “okay”. This was the moment that my admiration for Jeannette developed. Most kids would develop a fear of fire after an incident like that but instead she becomes fascinated with it and finds every excuse just to use fire. Her parents are to thank for this because they are the ones who drove her to be fearless and to have
