The Glass Castle Update 3

After Lori and Jeannette made it to New York City, I wasn’t expecting all of the twists, like Dad getting tuberculosis, Maureen stabbing Mom and getting arrested, Mom and Dad ending up on the streets, and more. It was especially a tearjerker when Dad had died towards the end, because I could never imagine my dad ending up the way he did. Even though it was kind of sweet of Mom and Dad to move up to New York when the kids did, I found it to be sort of creepy at the same time. It was odd how they followed them up to New York when the kids’ sole purpose was to get away from them and Welch. But what I really liked was when they all gathered for Thanksgiving at the end. It showed me that from all they have been through – deaths, moving, abuse, and more – they could still come together as a family and rejoice over the past and the present.
This is a photo of New York City, where at one point, almost all of the Walls family moved to.
